Chapter 63: The Bloom of the Rose
After having a goal in life, the whole person is in a different state.
I woke up half an hour earlier than usual in the morning.
Tsai took a careful bath and changed his clothes, especially the SpongeBob SquarePants given by Sister Lucky, which he wore well.
Fortunately, Sister Lucky gave herself two at once, otherwise I really don't know what to do now.
The only problem is that the quality of the underwear on this stall is not good, and it is indeed a little faded.
But it doesn't matter, if you drop it, you won't drop it.
I went downstairs in good spirits, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, and I rushed to the base with one foot on the accelerator.
On the way, I was thinking about where to search for clues to my favorite rose, although I had entrusted several people last night, but waiting so freely was also an unbearable torment, and I had to do it myself.
Perhaps, we should start with the simplest archives?
If this flesh rose still existed in other parts of the scrap iron city, there might always be some mention of it in the archives, right?
"Hey, Xiao Wei is finally here......"
While thinking, when I walked into the base, I saw Brother Piggy's excited eyes.
He had already sat at the table waiting, and immediately enthusiastically brought up a handful of pancake rolls with sauce.
It is served with a bowl of pork offal soup sprinkled with chives, which is fragrant.
"Thank you, Brother Piggy."
Wei Wei sat at the table, he didn't have to do it himself, Brother Pig brought chopsticks, spoons, and small pickles.
"Captain, what about them?"
Wei Wei looked around curiously while eating: "Gone out again?" ”
I started patrolling the streets, and the team seemed to be busy.
It's rare to see a scene where everyone gathers at a table to eat and play ball happily like when they first came, almost every veteran player has arranged affairs and often goes out, of course, except for Brother Piglet, whether he is in the last Black Goat Summoning Demon Incident, or the Big Head Little Girl Incident, he is always thunderous, and he stays in the base every day to cook, clean up or something.
Wei Wei guessed that it might be the big-headed girl last time that triggered a series of follow-ups.
I don't know if these veterans are planning some big plans.
In the past, he would have been a little excited, but now, he has more important things.
"The others went out, but the captain didn't, maybe he hasn't gotten up yet, right?"
Piggy glanced at the captain's office and bedroom, rolled a piece of cake for Wei Wei, and said with a smile, "Eat more." ”
"No problem."
Wei Wei glanced at the rest of the basket and said, "I've got it all, and I can also bring a few pieces to eat on the street at noon." ”
"Oops......"
Brother Piggy's excited eyes narrowed: "I'll make you a new one at noon......"
"Brother Piggy, you're so nice......"
"No, no, you're ......"
“……”
The two looked at each other and smiled when they saw each other, and they both had a feeling that it was difficult to find a confidant.
But speaking of which, Wei Wei does feel that his teammates have been getting better and better for him recently.
Although Uncle Gun was busy, he came back occasionally, and he pulled himself to play billiards or something, and obviously collected his strength to play, and seemed embarrassed to abuse himself too hard, Sister Lucky didn't bother to play, so she used the money in the team to pay three months' rent for herself......
The beautiful man Kobayashi, who observed himself for a long time last time, gave himself a men's moisturizer......
As for Captain Ouyang, his concern was even more obvious, and he even quietly asked himself out for a walk.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he exited, the people in the entire courtyard suddenly looked wrong, Uncle Gun and Xiao Lin looked worried, and secretly shook their heads at Wei Wei, Brother Pig looked frightened, and stopped talking, Sister Lucky on the second floor went directly back to the room and took out a shotgun.
And without hesitation, he aimed at Captain Ouyang.
Captain Ouyang fled, deeply regretting the lack of an opportunity to communicate with his subordinates.
…… How to say it, Wei Wei always feels that the people in the team seem to care and love him a lot.
……
……
After a while, after finishing the meal, Brother Piggy declined Wei Wei's request to help wash the dishes, and Wei Wei quietly came to the window of Captain Ouyang's office, a little worried that he would see something that he shouldn't see, so he was ready to pretend to be surprised at any time.
I peeked into the window, and I was instantly disappointed, but there was none.
And Captain Ouyang had already gotten up, combing his hair smooth and shiny early in the morning.
At this time, he was playing with an old pocket watch in his hand, sitting on a rather magnificent rotating seat, and answering the phone with a serious face.
Thinking that this might be a work secret, Wei Wei planned to step aside first.
Then I saw that Captain Ouyang, who had a serious expression, listened to what he said on the phone for a long time, and suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not right." ”
His voice rose sharply:
"Yesterday I only called three younger sisters, and I still have to call her an old sister in one of them, why should I take money from the four of them?"
"Huh?"
"The old sister counts as two according to the length of service?"
"Just kidding, inquire about the entire scrap iron city, who doesn't know that I, Ouyang, am twenty-eight this year?"
"Ahh......h
"Damn, you red light districts still dare to join forces to block me?"
“……”
Wei Wei was flustered for a while, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but Captain Ouyang hung up the phone heavily, turned his head to look in the direction of the office door, and when he saw him, he immediately changed his face, and said majestically: "Xiao Wei, I was just talking about work, you are ......"
"Good morning, Captain."
Wei Wei hurriedly saluted and said, "I have something to apply for." ”
"Apply?"
Captain Ouyang was a little flustered: "Haven't you been patrolling the streets very well recently?" ”
"Yes."
Wei Wei hurriedly smiled: "But outside of patrolling the streets, I want to take a look at the information in the base and learn more about the work." ”
"Alas......"
Captain Ouyang sighed: "Young people don't always think about work, the outside world is still very exciting......
But he still threw over a string of keys with red high-heeled pendants, and said: "The low-grade materials in the archive room, you can read them casually, but the mid-range materials, you have to wait until you turn them into regulars, and the high-end materials can only be read with my permission." ”
"Yes, thank you, Captain."
“……”
Wei Wei took the key very energetically and went into the archives.
Captain Ouyang looked at his back and expressed his special appreciation.
Although he has such a positive attitude towards work, he makes himself very insecure......
But maybe I'm thinking too much, I've been sending him to patrol the streets for so long, isn't this a good job?
It's good that the lad wants to do more work, just don't get into any more trouble.
Give yourself time to lay this net, deal with the troubles, and everything will still be under control.
The most serious problem at the moment is ......
…… I have been on the battlefield for so many years, is it really going to be blocked?
……
……
Similarly, when Wei Wei plunged his head into the archive room, full of hope and found the symbol of his dreams, somewhere in the scrap iron city, in the hall where countless statues of the goddess of life were erected, there was a sudden sound of ticking clock hands turning.
The sound grew louder and louder, louder and louder, as if there was no upper limit, drowning out all sounds.
"Boom la la ......"
Suddenly, there was the sound of chains pulling, intertwining into pieces, slowly masking the ticking of the clock.
As always, it went well.
But this time, after the ticking sound was suppressed, there was a long silence, and suddenly a violent coughing sounded.
The cough is heartbreaking, as if life has reached the end of the wind.
"It's hard, isn't it?"
When the coughing sound subsided slightly, the nearest statue of the goddess of life sounded the sound of soft stone chips peeling.
This stone statue is rapidly becoming mottled, withering, and even decaying, but these changes that should not have appeared on the stone statue have also made this stone statue with no traces of life have a sense of vividness similar to that of a person.
"I'm just worried that I won't be able to fulfill the priest's entrustment."
On the stone platform in the middle of the hall, a twisted mass of flesh and blood gave birth to a pattern resembling a human face:
"I can't suppress this thing anymore, or rather, in the past three years, I haven't been able to really suppress it, its consciousness is always calling for something, and now, it can't even wait to break through the seal left by the main priest at that time."
"You've done what you promised, haven't you?"
"The time hasn't come yet, and the priest asked me to guard it for three years, a difference of one point, not a second."
“……”
The mottled stone statue sighed: "You didn't ask, why did he let you guard it?" ”
Without hesitation, the wriggling flesh replied, "I only need to obey the orders of the priest, and I don't have to think about useless things." ”
"Thou art the most faithful servant......
The mottled stone statue whispered, "But your power is about to wither, and you will soon be unable to suppress it." ”
"Even, assimilated by it, to become its slave......"
“……”
On the wriggling flesh, the human face seemed to be smiling: "You think the main priest would not think of this?" ”
"When my strength is close to exhaustion, his remaining hand must have been activated......"
"I can feel the whispers of the gods coming to reality, and the people who drove the wheel of fate have returned to the starting point......"
“……”
The faces of the flesh began to disappear, and only the voice echoed faintly: "No one can stop the bloom of the rose!" ”
"Like, the gods come without asking anyone's consent!"
