Chapter 4 Dial Kiosks
In an instant, Lu Yun's mind went blank.
From grasping at the life-saving straw to falling into the abyss, he couldn't help but think of the worst.
Everyone, all turned into George?
No, mom is still normal, there is still hope!
Lu Yun regained his ability to think, straightened up, stared at the two singers in front of him, and began to slowly retreat.
"Excuse me, did you ask George to visit George, who wrote poetry?"
The singer asked Lu Yun questions in a calm and polite tone, without any emotional fluctuations.
And Lu Yun's choice is very simple.
Run!
Lu Yun didn't hesitate, he didn't answer the other party's question, and directly turned around and rushed to the public dial booth on the other side of the street.
On the way, Lu Yun, who had eased a little from his fear, couldn't help but start worrying about his relatives and friends.
He was glad that his mother was still safe, and the security and anti-theft systems of Lu Yun's house were all configured in urban areas due to the relationship between his missing father, and ordinary methods could not be forcibly entered.
But others... Probably not so lucky.
Gritting his teeth, Lu Yun silently prayed for them in his heart.
Not far away, a silver-white pavilion made of aether that looked like it could hold two people stood lonely on the side of the road, and it looked so out of place compared to the dilapidated streets of the suburbs.
On its door, there is a droplet of water entwined with interlaced wings, the symbol of the Aether Corporation, proving the ownership of the dial-up booth.
In the suburbs, even the most murderous "cleaners" would not dare to damage the property of the Aether Corporation at will, because that would mean a visit from the Ethereum Corporation's field department.
No one would find themselves more difficult to deal with than those post-war anomalies.
As he got closer and closer to the goal, Lu Yun finally glanced back to confirm whether the two singers were following.
The answer is yes, and it doesn't stop there, Lu Yun found that more and more residents were coming out of the residential buildings on the side of the street, getting closer and closer to him, and the number of people quickly changed from single digits to dozens, and then to dozens.
Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were as calm as stagnant water, staring in Lu Yun's direction together.
Lu Yun saw a lot of familiar faces in it, no matter what they used to be called, but it was certain that they were now "George".
"Grass!"
With an angry curse, Lu Yun used his fastest speed to get into the public dial booth of the ether company.
He hated that he couldn't do anything but pin his hopes on the people of the Ether Company, and everyone knew that in the face of post-war anomalies, the lives of suburban people were not worth anything.
Forcefully closing the door of the dial booth and locking it, Lu Yun pressed the only emergency contact button inside as fast as he could.
Almost instantly, there was a response from the other side.
"Hello, this is Ether Corporation, do you need help?"
The gentle female voice sounded, which actually calmed Lu Yun's heart a little, and made him notice the faint fragrance of jasmine in the dial booth.
"This is a resident of the 2nd floor of Building 3, 2nd Street, District N, here..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yun swallowed, he remembered that in the past, someone had mistakenly mistaken a certain ether technology product smuggled from the city for a post-war anomaly, and then skipped the territorial organization and directly dialed the ether company.
The huge fine sent the man who had hoped to move from the South Side to the North Side to a neighborhood close to the rubble.
"Here..."Lu Yun was still hesitating, but the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer outside made him have no time to hesitate any longer, "There is a post-war anomaly here!" Please help us! ”
"Roger, I've sent your location to the nearest field patrolman, please stay at the dial booth and don't leave no matter what happens."
"Could you please describe the post-war anomalies you encountered, which will help the patrolmen better handle the incident?"
The soft female voice did not fluctuate, gently soothing Lu Yun's emotions.
Lu Yun thought for a while, sorted out the information in his mind, and then said:
"I don't know exactly what it looks like, but he calls himself 'George,' and it seems that he can somehow make others think of himself as 'George,' and there are already many families on the entire 2nd Street who have become George!"
The footsteps outside the dial booth were getting denser and closer.
"They're heading to the dial booth now! What am I going to do?! ”
Lu Yun didn't know if the supposedly indestructible ether alloy could really block the impact of so many people.
"Don't panic, please stay in the booth and don't leave, it's safe in the booth."
The female voice on the other end of the communication machine still didn't have any mood swings, but her emphasis on the security of the dial booth did make Lu Yun calm down a little.
"Okay, okay, please come over as soon as possible! I don't know if they're going to affect more people during this time! ”
"The patrolmen are coming." The female voice seems to be very good at dealing with the panic of the dialer.
"Also, sir, please remember that whatever you are talking about or those Georges who have tried to give you or exchange something with you, please do not take it, and if you do, do not look at it."
After a short pause, the female voice told Lu Yun her advice.
"Something?" Lu Yun's heart twitched, and he remembered that he was now holding something in his pants pocket, "I... I know. ”
Cold sweat gradually broke out on Lu Yun's back, and he took the initiative to hang up the call with the ether company.
With a trembling hand, he gradually pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and Juanxiu's handwriting was faintly visible from the back.
It was George's poem, something that Lu Yun got from George, who wrote poetry.
And he had already looked at it downstairs on the 10th building I don't know how many times.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
There was a knock on the door, and the frightened Lu Yun suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the dial booth door.
Before I knew it, the footsteps had stopped.
"Hello, please open the door, I'm George."
Lu Yun no longer had the leisure to tell whose voice it was, and he could deny it, he could only keep it as quiet as possible, hoping for the firmness of this small door that was one person high.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Hello, please open the door, I'm George."
George began to bang on the door, I don't know how many people were together, Lu Yun only felt that they hit hard, very hard, but his voice was still as calm as death.
It even makes people wonder if they still need to breathe.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Hello, please open the door, I'm George."
I don't know if it was Lu Yun's illusion, he seemed to hear the sound of something cracking, but he didn't seem to see any bulges or cracks on the door made of ether alloy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the crash that lasted for several minutes was in Lu Yun's ears for centuries, and his eyes that were wide open from nervousness never closed for a moment during this time.
Suddenly, the crashing sound stopped.
Just as Lu Yun was wondering, he heard the sound of something heavy falling on the top of the dial booth.
Then, a crisp and pleasant sound sounded that was not like that of a human being.
With that, there was a continuous sound of falling to the ground.
Lu Yun was a little confused by this sudden change, he didn't know what was going on in the outside world at this moment, and whether he was safe.
At this time, the door of the dial booth, which had been locked, was unlocked.
Lu Yun's nerves tensed instantly, he didn't know why this door could be opened, according to the common sense that he had been popularized by science, it was impossible for the public dial booth of the ether company to be opened from the outside, unless...
As the door was opened more and more, Lu Yun saw a sturdy man with short messy dark brown hair on his head, deep dark circles under his eyes, and a delicate badge pinned to the chest of his shirt that looked like a price.
It was a drop of water wrapped around intertwined wings, the symbol of the Aether Corporation.
"It's okay, come out."
The man's voice Lu Yun was not familiar with, but his appearance made Lu Yun have a good impression.
He remembered that Qi Jie had introduced him to him, and this person was from the field support department of the ether company-
Seal the burn.
