Chapter 5 Sealing Burn
"You're... Is it burning? ”
Looking at the tired man standing outside the door, Lu Yun asked him to verify his guess.
"Huh? Do you know me? Feng Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice became a little interested, "You are from the mutual aid association?" ”
His light brown eyes looked Lu Yun up and down, and then shook his head.
"No, you're too young to know me, who are you? My enemy's child? ”
"No, no, I'm Lu Yun who came for an interview during the day!"
After Lu Yun finished speaking, he thought that this person was sleeping all the time during the interview, and he had to know himself to have a ghost.
"Coming for an interview during the day?" Feng Ran rubbed his temples, then looked up sharply.
"Oh, I remember, you're the North kid who woke up faster than the paralyzed North kid during the test, right?"
"Facial paralysis?"
Lu Yun didn't react for a moment to who he was referring to.
"It's Qi Jie, that person can put on a good face when he is working."
Feng Ran yawned and beckoned to Lu Yun again.
"Looks like it's you, come out first."
After Lu Yun went out, he noticed that there were all fallen people around the dial booth.
These people are all Lu Yun's neighbors, and they are also the "Georges" just now.
They fell to the ground in all their limbs, unconscious faces with slightly painful expressions.
"He... They? ”
Lu Yun's heart fell to the bottom of a lake, he had heard that the ether company didn't care about the lives of people in the suburbs when it was doing business.
"Don't worry, I'm not dead, I just fainted, there are many perverts in the South District, but I'm not."
Feng Ran saw through Lu Yun's thoughts and yawned again.
Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and another question arose.
How did Feng Ran manage to make so many people unconscious at the same time?
Lu Yun believed that the technology of the Aether Company would definitely be able to do this, but Feng Ran, who looked sleepy on the side, did not have any props worthy of the "Aether Technology" on his body, and the Aether Company badge on his chest did not look like it had this function.
Suddenly, Lu Yun recalled the crisp sound he had just heard before the sound of falling to the ground, but how could that be possible?
"Mr. Feng Ran, how did you do it?"
Lu Yun asked, there were too many things that had happened tonight beyond his knowledge.
"No need to add sir, I'm not one of those troublesome city people."
Feng Ran waved his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and took a deep breath.
Tobacco is considered a luxury even in urban areas, and generally only employees of the ether company can smoke it so economically.
"As for this." He pointed to the fallen people on the ground, "You should think of it as Aether Technology." ”
Lu Yun was a little regretful, it seemed that Feng Ran didn't plan to tell him more.
"Don't stand stupidly, tell me what this post-war anomaly is, and try to get me off work early."
Feng Ran shook off the ashes of the cigarette casually, but it did not fall on anyone on the ground.
"Hmm." Lu Yun organized the following language.
"It calls itself 'George,' and it seems to be disguised as a 10-storey resident of Building 10, and it can somehow convert someone else into George, but I don't know exactly how he did it, and I don't know if more people are being converted by it now."
"Oh? Are you showing aggression? Feng Ran listened with interest, as if this was not a very strange thing for him.
"Aggressive?" Lu Yun thought about it for a while, and it seemed that "George" didn't mean to attack him except for banging on the door.
"No, they didn't attack me."
After listening to Lu Yun's answer, Feng Ran didn't speak immediately, he took another deep puff of cigarette until the cigarette was completely burned out.
"It's so troublesome, it's like this."
Feng Ran's complaint drifted into the night sky with the smoke, and he stepped on the cigarette butt and turned his head to look at Lu Yun.
"Boy, your name is Lu Yun, right? Did the 10-storey George you mentioned give you anything? ”
The fatigue on Feng Ran's body dissipated instantly, and the change in an instant made Lu Yun nervous.
Lu Yun remembered that the operator had told him just now that he should never take or look at anything that George gave him.
"Yes, because I originally wanted to go there for a poetry exchange, I exchanged poems with it."
Lu Yun took out the folded George's poem from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Feng Ran.
"No, you don't have to give it to me."
Lu Yun felt that although Feng Ran's movements had not changed, he suddenly exuded a strong sense of oppression, making Lu Yun dare not act.
"Have you seen that piece of paper?"
Feng Ran's tone suddenly became very serious.
"Look... I've seen it. ”
Lu Yun is not without a hunch, this George's so-called poetry will be the key to the transformation, otherwise it is impossible that so many people in the entire neighborhood will become George unconsciously!
But he didn't have any strange feelings at the moment, so he wasn't sure about the guess, or rather, he subconsciously hoped that the answer was wrong.
"Okay."
Feng Ran stared at Lu Yun and asked a question.
"So, are you George?"
"Of course..."
Lu Yun, who just wanted to deny it, suddenly stopped, because he heard a voice from the bottom of his heart, no, it was many voices!
I'm George! I'm George! I'm George!
We are George!
Lu Yun knocked on his head, he felt a desire to admit that he was George, but it was not irresistible, probably just the level of being thirsty and wanting to drink water.
"Are you George?"
Seeing that Lu Yun neither denied nor admitted it, Feng Ran asked again.
"I..." Lu Yun took a deep breath and said slowly, "Of course I'm not, I'm Lu Yun." ”
After saying this, Lu Yun obviously felt that Feng Ran had changed back to the sleepy state before.
And the voices in his head were gone.
"Yes, that's good, haha, that facial paralysis is right, your qualifications are ridiculously good."
Lu Yun was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the strange test during the day could really measure the so-called "qualification".
"Then my interview... Is it passed? ”
But in any case, since the interviewer has personally confirmed his qualifications, he can see hope when he enters the Ether company!
"Boy, don't be too happy yet, you're one step away from passing."
A wicked smile hung on the corner of Feng Ran's mouth.
"What's missing?"
The stakes are high, and Lu Yun is eager to know what else he needs to do.
"Onboarding test."
"Onboarding test? Where to measure? Is it the same as testing qualifications? ”
"Right here." Feng Ran pointed to the other end of the street, in the direction of the 10th floor of Building 10, "You have to follow me and help me solve George, this is your entry test." ”
"Huh?" Lu Yun subconsciously wanted to say how could this be, he only knew a rough idea of what a post-war anomaly was, let alone solve it.
"Don't worry, boy, you just need to follow me and do what I asked you to do, it won't be difficult."
Feng Ran lit another cigarette, and the cigarette butt of the fire looked like a small lighthouse in the night.
"I'll tell you something you need to know on the way, let's go, and remember to put that thing away for your poem."
Lu Yun nodded, and then followed.
In order to be able to join the Aether Corporation, let his mother move into the city, and also so that he can have a way to go to the ruins to find his father.
He had to take every opportunity.
No matter how dangerous this opportunity may seem, it's all the same.
