Chapter 9: Small Talk

Heng Zheng came out of the lounge on the 15th floor yawning and saw Heng Yi sitting in the reading lounge area in the hall reading a book.

The bright sun shone on the book and his body, making him look less gloomy.

Heng Zheng walked over, Heng Yi saw him, closed the book and held it in his hand, it was a white paper, without a title.

Heng Zheng asked him, "Don't you take a break at noon?"

"No, I'm not very tired, and it's an interesting book. I haven't read much, Brother Zheng, can I borrow this book?" Heng Yi shook the white paper in his hand.

Heng Zheng put on the work clothes on his shoulders and said, "Of course you can, no one usually reads, everyone plays with their mobile phones or sleeps." You can grab a few more copies and finish them whenever you want. ”

"No need Brother Zheng, since you're awake, when will you go?"

"Right now."

Heng Zheng shouted: "Xiao Meng!"

"It's coming, Brother Zheng!"

Another young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old came out of the lounge, looking the same age as Heng Yi on the outside, and his full name was Li Meng.

He and Heng Zheng were a group of patrols before, and now Heng Yi has also joined. The two had known each other since the morning.

Li Meng waved his hand to Hengyi, who also nodded in greeting.

Heng Zheng took the key from the side, started the car and motioned for the two to get into the car, then drove into the vehicle's special elevator and went down to the first floor, drove out of the back door of the office building, and began to patrol.

"I thought we were walking on patrol." Hengyi sat in the car and said.

Li Meng held a small notebook and pen in his hand, scribbling and writing down something.

"Well, a district is still very big. Because the number of transferors is relatively small, they cannot be managed, so they can only expand the area in charge of management. This requires us ordinary civilians to help patrol. The Coordinator's Office Building is also built in the center of a district, so that it is convenient to get to the oblique place as quickly as possible. You won't go out if you don't have anything to do. ”

"Shouldn't the top districts have more adjusters?"

Li Meng shook his head, "The top-ranked area has a larger local scope and more population, and more people means more potential slopes. Once the consequences of an accident will be serious, it is natural to need more mediators to be able to watch at any time. And ......"

"And the mediators in front are much better than the ones in the back in terms of treatment and power, so there are few adjusters who are willing to come down." has been driving, Heng Zheng took over the conversation.

Li Meng nodded noncommittally.

Hengyi: "Is that so......"

"Alasβ€”" Heng Zheng sighed again, "it's much better now, you should know when the oblique objects flooded twelve years ago." Families are afraid to go out, they are hiding in their homes. Despite this, there will still be oblique forcible intrusions and indiscriminate killing of innocent people. The mediators couldn't control it, and they fought outside every day, and everyone hid at home to eat the relief food that was delivered. ”

Li Meng hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, I was hiding at home at that time, let alone going to school. Mom and Dad are also staying at home, and everywhere is closed. I remember that my building seemed to live on the first floor of a house, and in broad daylight, a man who broke in through the window was killed. I didn't dare to look at it, my parents told me. ”

"Oh, what about later?" Heng Yi asked with interest.

Heng Zheng continued the topic, "Later, the mediator headquarters decided to send two S-class mediators to find the source of the oblique object and be responsible for dealing with it. And the other two S-class are responsible for guarding the city. Among the two adjusters who went out, there was an S-level adjuster who was in full swing at the time, named Heng Xiaofeng. You should know this. He was the strongest toner of his time, and even the other three couldn't match it. ”

Heng Zheng stepped on the brakes, stopped the car and waited for the traffic light, and then said, "That is, he found the source of the oblique objectβ€”the oblique source." It is said to be in a dark chamber in the middle of a desert pyramid. When he sent back the message, he went to deal with it alone. Another S-Class adjuster who was out then arrived. ”

The green light soon turned on again, and Heng Zheng started the car and drove forward. Li Meng was still young at the time, so he didn't know this, and urged Heng Zheng to continue talking like listening to a story, "What about later?" Brother Zheng, don't squeeze toothpaste!"

"Don't worry, young man, be patient when listening to stories."

Heng Zheng no longer hung his appetite, and continued, "Later, the tuner died in the tower, and when another S-class tuner who went out went to check, he didn't find the body, nor did he find the oblique source. But from that day on, most of the oblique ones on the street did die, and the oblique cores fell to the ground. But there are also oblique did not die and ran. And then that's what you're seeing now. ”

After listening to this, Li Meng sat back in his place, sighed and said: "It's a pity, it's been twelve years, and there have been no new S-level tuners, even the strongest tuners haven't been able to completely solve the skew?"

"I can't say that, it's already strong enough to destroy most of the oblique by himself, and he can be called everyone's hero."

Just as the two were chatting, Heng Yi interjected: "It's better to say that the other three adjusters are too useless, right?"

The two of them were taken aback, and Heng Zheng hurriedly stopped him, "Shhhh After all, we have a different social status from others, and this kind of talk is not something we can talk about. ”

"Isn't it? When the four S-class tuners are overloaded, forget it. The strongest one swapped out more than half of the slope, but the other three didn't do anything. Twelve years have passed, no new S-class has appeared, and just the remaining remnants of the slope can't be handled. It seems that it is the strongest sacrifice that allows them to live comfortably and no longer care about the lives and deaths of the common people. ”

Heng Yi said calmly, these have nothing to do with him, no matter who dies, he won't care, but he just wants to say it.

The other two were silent, but Heng Zheng still spoke, "Heng Yi, no matter what you think, but just don't talk nonsense outside, okay?"

"Well, I know what to say and what not to say."

Heng Zheng sighed secretly, how could he not know this? But he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. Especially when you're outside. There are many people, there are many people like him, Heng Yi just said everyone's thoughts......
