Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Gray Space
Achu returned to the South Nut Building, his eyes darkened, and he stood alone in the elevator, which slowly rose up to the central hall. What did he want to say? He didn't want to say anything. What was he thinking? He didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't want to recall those gray memories anyway.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, Mr. Achu! I'm going to come in! Uncle Kuke trotted all the way outside the elevator door, carrying a large bag of milk tea in both hands.
Achu stood in the elevator and ignored Uncle Kuke, contemplating himself in endless memories. He bowed his head and was silent, not saying a word, nor stopping the elevator door from closing. What is the difference between him and an unconscious person now? At the last moment when Uncle Kuke stopped the elevator door to close as fast as he could, his slender and powerful muscular thighs were caught by the elevator door. Then the elevator door slowly opened again, and he finally got his wish, standing in the elevator with the son of prophecy to discuss life.
"Good morning, son of prophecy, it's raining really hard outside. I ran several blocks just to buy a big bag of milk tea and come back. Last night I lost playing poker with them, I lost a total of 160 yuan and five cents and seven jiao, plus a service price, I admitted to the gamble, so I ran out in the rain early this morning to find my beloved bubble tea shop, fortunately there are not many customers today, I quickly bought milk tea. "Uncle Kuke, let's talk, let's talk non-stop.
He continued, "Today they launched a hot cocoa on a rainy day, and it is most comfortable to drink hot cocoa on a rainy day, and I believe Miss Yun Han should enjoy drinking it very much." Mr. Hua likes to drink coffee, so I brought back an Italian latte art, although their coffee is not bad for me, but Mr. Hua's requirements for coffee are too high, I am afraid that he will not like to drink it. ”
"What does Mr. Achu like to drink? I have Mocha Coffee, fragrant milk tea, and Roasted Fairy Grass, Vitality Yakult, do you like to drink? Uncle Kuke was chattering crookedly on the side, he looked at the bag full of various styles of milk tea drinks in his hand, and suddenly he fell into all kinds of contemplation, he obviously ordered twenty drinks, why did it look like there were only fifteen? Could it be that the black-hearted boss gave the other five less?
Later, he thought about it, and the other five were personally delivered by the boss, because he ordered too many drinks in the bubble tea shop, and he was promoted to a VIP first-level member in an instant. In order to be in a hurry, he could only take fifteen servings of milk tea home first, in fact, the boss was willing to help him send all the drinks for free, but Uncle Kuke did not agree, for fear that the winter matcha milk cap in his hand would be damaged.
Doing business with him is really profitable and loss-free.
Achu stood aside and didn't speak, his eyes were very gloomy, he looked at the floor and began to be in a daze, once he was in a daze, he would enter a state of thinking, pulling out the memories of the first half hour. He was thinking about something, something that made him confused and afraid, the death of his friend, which made him feel at a low point all of a sudden, and the content of the last letter.
He wanted to cry, but he couldn't, so he could only stand aside and comfort Huang Tian not to be sad anymore, but he was even sadder than him.
"The Wolves?" Ah Chu whispered in a low voice, and Uncle Kuke on the side pondered the amount of milk tea, not noticing what he was saying.
……
Team Yu told Huang Tian and Ah Chu about the matter, "Your friend has a lot of snow mountains in his body, you don't know it, right?" It is absolutely illegal to simply cover up other people's drug use. ”
"We all know that." Huang Tian immediately fearlessly admitted, "But I also persuaded him to turn back many times, and we also tried to call the police...... But in recent days, his whereabouts have always been inconjectible, and suddenly he disappeared, and when he saw him again, he was already gone from us......"
"Sheriff, if I'm guilty, then please arrest me......" Huang Tian stretched out his hands and motioned for the other party to take out the handcuffs and arrest him. Seeing this scene, Achu wanted to explain to the sheriff that he couldn't let his brother waste most of his youth in vain.
He hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, it's not like this, Huang Tian didn't commit a crime...... We didn't cover it up...... It's just that...... It's just that we don't want to see our brother so uncomfortable, sorry...... I'm really sorry......"
The sheriff on the side was stunned when he heard it, and the guy in front of him said a lot of things that didn't make sense, and he didn't understand anything at all.
The sheriff continued with Huang Tian and Achu, "Your relationship doesn't matter in my eyes, I just want to tell you that we suspect that your friend has a connection with the local drug trafficking organization 'Fortune Wolf Gang'. Do you know where the Fortune Wolves are located? ”
"The Wolves?" Achu frowned, not quite understanding what the sheriff said.
"How is it possible, how can the return have something to do with drug trafficking organizations, will you be mistaken." Huang Tian defended his dead brother.
The sheriff continued, "It's not wrong to be mistaken, but think about it, who would touch drugs for no reason." Moreover, the gang with the most extensive drug trafficking organization in the local area is the largest of the Fortune Wolf Gang. We've been secretly investigating the Wolves' strongholds, but we haven't heard from them all. Recently, we received a call from someone who said that his friend was addicted to drugs and asked the police to arrest him, and when we arrived at the scene, that guy had already fled, and if he could be caught, he might be able to find the route and follow the clues to find the stronghold of the Rich Wolf Gang. ”
"The underground activities of the Lucky Wolf Gang have always been secretly exaggerating their business activities, but in fact confusing the police. We've been secretly investigating the activities of the Lucky Wolves, and there are no more clues other than a few drinking activities and fake charity activities. ”
"Who is the boss of the Rich Wolf Gang?" Huang Tian grabbed the clue tail and asked.
Unfortunately, the sheriff didn't tell Huang Tian and Ah Chu, "I'm sorry, you don't have the right to know. It's a confidential issue, and we can't tell you. If it's all right, you should go home early, we must bring back the body of your good friend, and we need to investigate further. Keep this letter safe. ”
"Close!" Team Yu shouted at all the officers.
Achu and Huang Tian stood still, Huang Tian grabbed the letter and watched the returning corpse being sent to the ambulance, but he couldn't help anything, Achu on the side stood beside him and held an umbrella for him. In fact, there is no need to hold an umbrella, anyway, the two of them have already been wet, and why is holding an umbrella, it's just a process.
The raindrops flowed down the trajectory, soaking the young man's bloody heart, and the past kindness would follow the ashes to be sprinkled on the ground somewhere, and after all, he could not escape the embrace of the land. Is he laughing or crying? Is it sad or angry? All emotions turned into a tear and followed the rain on the ground.
……
"Mr. Achu ...... The elevator arrived. Mr. Achu? Mr. Achu? Uncle Kuke patted Achu on the shoulder, the guy had become like a wooden man since he entered the elevator, he didn't say a word, his eyes were very empty, and he couldn't see any feelings at all.
"Mr. Achu?" Uncle Kuke continued to pat Ah Chu's shoulder, the elevator door had already opened, and the two of them stood still in the elevator, it was Ah Chu who was motionless, he had not yet come out of the memories just now. Suddenly, Uncle Kuke shouted, completely pulling Achu out of his memory!
"Mr. Achu!!"
"Ahh What happened? Achu suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes were colored, like a soul returning to his body.
"Mr. Achu, what's wrong with you? I just shouted that you didn't respond for a long time, what's wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling well? "Uncle Cook cares about him.
Achu staggered out of the elevator, as if he hadn't eased up, "It's okay...... I am fine. ”
Uncle Kuke stood in the elevator and looked at Achu's back in the corridor a little lonely, he didn't think much about it, he didn't dare to speculate on the young man's inner thoughts at will. He carried a large bag of milk tea drinks and walked out with Achu's steps, walking on his back, looking at his figure, the combination of the uncle and the teenager, out of unexpected tacit understanding, the uncle looked at the back of the teenager, as if looking at his former self. The boy followed the uncle, fantasizing about his future self.
The two walked into the central hall, and Uncle Kuke immediately noticed the other five drinks on the table, and it seemed that the owner of the bubble tea shop was quite punctual and did not delay at all.
"Don't you have to go to class today? Why are you wet all over? Didn't I give you an umbrella? Chen Yunhan came up and asked three times, she noticed Ah Chu faster than anyone else, and Ah Chu ignored Chen Yunhan, which made Chen Yunhan feel a little strange.
Uncle Kuke put the remaining fifteen drinks on the table, everyone in the organization was busy with their own, Achu came in and found a seat and sat down, absent-minded, he didn't care about how delicious and attractive the milk tea Uncle Kuke bought, he was now like a failed Dave, who was eaten by zombies and lost his brain.
"Come on, come on, everyone has a share."
("Wow, milk tea.") ”)
("Is there coffee?") ”)
("Yes, sir.") This is the Italian latte art I specially ordered for you, their coffee is quite good, I don't know if Mr. likes it or not. ”)
("Sister Yunhan, what are you thinking?") There's your favorite hot cocoa. ”)
Chen Yunhan sat in place, holding a cup of hot cocoa and turned his head to see Achu sitting alone on a small stool next to the bookshelf, a lonely person like being abandoned in the wind and rain. Chen Yunhan swept the milk tea on the table, she picked a cup of roasted fairy grass for Ah Chu, she walked over and stood in front of Ah Chu.
"Once you've joined the organization, don't be depressed all day long, be happy," she said. We are all collective, your expression will lower the average attitude of our organization, is there anything you can't tell us? ”
Ah Chu sat on the small stool and watched Chen Yunhan hand him a cup of burnt fairy grass, Ah Chu didn't say a word, and looked at Chen Yunhan blankly.
"Yes, Mr. Achu, you can tell us if you encounter difficulties, and we will do our best to help you." Uncle Kuke drinks a cup of warm chocolate-style milk tea in the rainy season.
"It can't be that this month's pocket money is gone again, right?" Hua Xuning sat in his seat holding a copy of the City Newspaper, he poured the Italian latte art into the coffee cup, and then gently stroked it with a small spoon.
Murphy sat on the sidelines, drinking sago desserts, and she spoke in a mother-like tone, "Children don't give them so much pocket money to need, and be restrained." ”
"It shouldn't be just Achu, I think my pocket money is running out." Jiang Yixue sucked a mouthful of matcha milk cap, he lay on the table and sandwiched the milk cap in his arms, and played a super high-level operation game with both hands, his face was simply skyrocketing.
"You're embarrassed to say that your pocket money is gone after only a few days, is your pocket money spent by the pound?" Li Luoyi was dismantling Jiang Yixue's platform on the side, and he was drinking black tea.
"Cut, that's not because ......" Jiang Yixue suddenly stopped talking, he glanced at Li Luoyi, and then continued to operate the game.
"Huh?" Li Luoyi didn't hear what the guy said.
"It's okay......" Jiang Yixue
Chen Yunhan stood in front of Ah Chu and looked at him, "What's the matter, Ah Chu?" With a sullen look, how did you get wet? And also...... Shouldn't you be in school at this time? How did you run back? Is something going on? ”
Ah Chu raised his head to look at Chen Yunhan, and entered Chen Yunhan's field of vision with a godless eye, he said softly, "Do you know Lin Hui?" ”
Chen Yunhan didn't forget those people, she replied to Ah Chu, "I know, the little brother next to Huang Tian...... How to ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, Achu interjected, "He's dead." ”
Very calm, this sentence came out of his mouth unusually calm, and it was also very sudden, which made Chen Yunhan at a loss for a moment, after all, she was not particularly familiar with those boys, but it also made her feel very complicated, should she be sad and sad? Should I pay a tribute? Let it be, she cares more about Achu's thoughts.
But she pretended to care, and she asked, "So suddenly...... When did it happen? ”
Achu calmly told her, "The body was found this morning, and the police speculate that he died four days ago." Huang Tian and I were supposed to be in class, but suddenly a policewoman broke in, and she told us that she had passed away...... He was killed, he didn't die in the snowy mountains, he was completely killed and dumped in the garbage! ”
His sudden mood swings attracted the observation of everyone in the central hall, making Chen Yunhan not know how to stand still.
"Achu ...... The festival mourns and changes ......, "Chen Yunhan bowed his head and apologized.
"What's wrong? What happened? Jiang Yixue exited the game page, and he asked as a peacemaker. Hua Xuning put down the newspaper and took a sip of latte art, and he saw the guy's little temper again.
"And then? What are we going to do? Wrong...... What should I do? Ah Chu grabbed Chen Yunhan's vision and said, tears suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he held back the tears.
"Ever heard of the Wolves? They were the ones who caused the return and died, and I must bring them to justice. But I ...... But I couldn't do anything about it. Achu bowed his head silently.
He grabbed his hair and bowed his head, "All of you told me...... I am the Child of Prophecy, and I am convinced that I am the Child of Prophecy, and my duty is to protect all people, to protect all those around me. Right now...... My good friend left me, and I couldn't do anything to sit here sighing, I couldn't find the Wolves, I couldn't pursue the location of the Wolves, I could only watch him get into the ambulance, I ...... What should I do? ”
"You tell me...... What the hell should I do? Yun Han ...... Don't you know me best? Will I be able to keep going? Can I still be a child of prophecy? Achu stared at Chen Yunhan's eyes full of universe and spoke, he may be crying, or he may be venting unnecessary emotions.
"......" Chen Yunhan nodded slightly, the tears in her eyes were turning.
"But I can't even protect my friends, what else do I talk about the son of prophecy......" Achu stood up and put the burning fairy grass in his hand on the table, he passed by Chen Yunhan's side.
"Achu, where are you going?" Lin Jinyu watched as Achu took steps to escape from the gray space.
"Continue training......" Achu's tone seemed very weak, just like his state, with a heart to heart in the rain.
"But it's raining heavily!" Lin Jinyu told him that everyone knew this sentence, but she was still wary of Achu not to indulge in the state of sacrifice anymore, the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window was sticking to the glass, Hua Xuning leaned on the back chair, and he turned his head to look at the pouring rain outside the window.
It's rainy again, and nothing good happens every time it rains. The scapegoat incident also happened on a black rainy day after the calm, and everyone was powerless to save the situation, so they could only stand in the heavy rain of the night and pay silent tribute.
"I know, I'm very conscious of what I'm doing. It's just raining, no big deal. Achu stood at the gate with his back to everyone.
"But...... What if you catch a cold? The training is not bad for this day......" Lin Jinyu was still very worried that Achu would do something stupid on impulse.
"That's not going to work, according to the plan...... Today is also going to train, rain or shine, I have to train. I think that when I was training in the army, it was also raining heavily, and all of us members still survived. It's just raining, and the man's chest and shoulders are very hard, so don't underestimate us. Achu stood in place, turned his head and said to Lin Jinyu with a forced smile.
"Let him go......" Chen Yunhan leaned against the bookshelf and said softly.
Achu looked at her, and he smiled and said, "Thank you......"
Just as Achu walked out of the central hall, Chen Yunhan said, "I believe...... You are the greatest child of prophecy. ”
The close-up is on Acchu's face, and the part of his eyes is pitch black, but it gives him a shot of his smile, and he doesn't say a word, and continues to walk.
"Boss, don't you care?" Lin Jinyu said to Hua Xuning with anxiety on her face.
Hua Xuning picked up the newspaper and smiled, "What is there to manage, just let him go, training in rainy days is more conducive to improving faith." ”
"Do we need to investigate those guys?" Mo Fei looked at Hua Xuning and said.
Hua Xuning was reading the newspaper on the side, and he said: "If you need it, you will investigate, and if you don't need it, you won't investigate." ”
"Hmm." Murphy nodded slightly.
Xiao Yusheng put the unfinished milk tea on the table, he stood up and left the central hall, Lin Jinyu caught his back and asked him, "Yusheng, where are you going?" ”
Xiao Yusheng told Lin Jinyu, "Responsible for helping Achu train." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the central hall, and stayed for a moment, lest he ask a few more unnecessary words.
This made Lin Jinyu look confused, and she had already slipped away before she had time to comfort people. Jiang Yixue stood up, he patted Lin Jinyu on the shoulder and said, "Sister Jinyu, don't ask again, we boys need to be generous in doing things, and we can't help us on a rainy day." Needless to say, I also went down, training needs others to record, and I am the recorder. ”
After he finished talking a lot of nonsense, he walked out of the central hall with the matcha milk cap, which made Lin Jinyu too late to answer any questions.
"A bunch of neurotics." Li Luoyi sat in his seat and complained about those crazy people.
