special task

Wu Lin came out of her hiding place leisurely: "Then, where are you going to throw this...?"

John shrugged, took out a key with him, threw it to Wu Lin, and handed Wu Lin a card with writing on it: "Here are the address and the key, go back and rest. It seems I'm going on a road trip gone."

Wu Lin watched John drag him away, then looked at the completely destroyed apartment, and sighed helplessly.Maybe she should clean it up, save someone from finding evidence that shouldn't be found, such as fingerprints or something.

After she broke into a sweat, the apartment finally looked a lot more normal.Everything was thoroughly cleaned without leaving any marks, whether it was Dr. Tillman's or John's and hers, it should be gone, she even mopped the floor out of boredom, she felt that even Benton did the cleaning himself None of her did it clean.

When she went downstairs, there was a library within a few meters. She slipped in, found a computer, and found the address.It's not near here. Although it's not too far from where she used to live, it's just not close. It's just on West Fourteenth Street.Wu Lin looked at the credit card in her hand and the empty pocket, and finally decided to give Finch a call: "Hey, Mr. Finch. What should I do if I want some change? Can I use the credit card to withdraw money directly?"

Finch's voice sounded a little hesitant, coupled with a little doubt: "Then... how do you want to withdraw money?"

"Well...it's nothing, hahaha, I'm just used to it..."

Wu Lin's voice stopped hoarse, and what she didn't finish was: I'm just used to my mother often stuffing me with change.

Sounds very... childish?But before she joined the plan, because she was still in school, her mother kept thinking about it, so she gave Wu Lin some money, but she couldn't remember... Wu Lin just bought it with her student card on campus. something.After joining that plan, she has never needed money, and even if she did, it was the kind of consumption that didn't require change.So... the habit of the students at the beginning has been used until now.

Finch waited for a few seconds, but still did not hear back, so he called Wu Lin's name suspiciously: "Ms. Lin?"

"Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing, I see. Withdrawing money with a credit card, you won't pay more interest?"

"Then, you don't have to worry. Money is not the problem."

Wu Lin stuck out her tongue inwardly, so besides her, are they all local tyrants?

"By the way, Ms. Lin, how is the doctor's problem going?"

"Oh, it's nothing. John is dealing with Benton, and the doctor has given up on her plans."

"Do I need to know how he 'handled' Benton?"

Finch's voice emphasized the word "handling", and Wu Lin shrugged, although no one could see: "Whatever you want, you can ask John yourself. By the way, I think John still lives in a hotel, doesn't it? Don't you want to find him a safe house to live in too? A fixed residence is better than a hotel."

Finch was also silent for several seconds: "You don't need to worry about this. Ms. Lin, take a good rest. The number never waits for anyone, and you must always be in the best condition."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Lin played with the thing she didn't know what it was in her hand, keenly felt that the word "number" was very strange.What is the number?Where did the number come from?If what they are currently doing is related to the machine, can it be assumed that the number is provided by the machine?So... what is the number?

With this question in mind, she went to the street and looked around casually. She thought she could walk back from this apartment and check if there was any bank nearby.Hmm... Does the number refer to a bank account number?It shouldn't be.First, she had to figure out what exactly they were doing with the machines.So... since John came to her to "rescue" her, and then said to start a side job, then there must be a main job?The main business... the main business... After they came out of the "side job", they framed Benton.But the main business is definitely not framed.Judging from their chats, the doctor was mentioned the most times. Even though Benton was the one who saved Benton in the end, most of the time, the discussion was from the doctor's point of view.So... so it can be assumed that doctors are the so-called main occupation?What do doctors and her have in common?

They all work in hospitals?This seems so... not right.

The trouble she got into was a machine, which seemed to be too far away from the trouble that the doctor wanted to kill.No... wait... a flash of inspiration flashed in Wu Lin's mind: the trouble she got into was a machine, and the doctor wanted to kill the trouble?So...the common denominator is not the content of the matter, but...it's all trouble!

So... if the commonality is trouble, plus the machine is a Skynet-like existence... how can I contact the number...?

People are in trouble...they can help.So how do you know if someone is in trouble?How do you tell if someone is in trouble?

Wu Lin's mind was in turmoil. She felt that there was something wrong with the way she was thinking. She looked irritably at the noisy crowd around her, and took a deep breath.No, she can't be messed up.I don't understand...then put it aside for now.She still has too little information, maybe she can continue to observe them a few times.She doesn't believe it anymore, she has the ability to specialize in criminal investigation, and she has a background in science (Note 7), so she doesn't believe that she still can't solve this puzzle!

So, putting the problem in front of her mind behind her, Wu Lin happily found an ATM, withdrew 8 yuan in small change, took a taxi and walked to the address (Note [-]).Standing in front of a dilapidated door, Wu Lin silently despised Finch's taste. It wasn't until she took out the key and opened the door that she realized that the inside was not as bad as she imagined.The address stated that the residence was on the top floor, although, it seemed, the entire building was empty.

Walking into that room, it was still a little dark, but Wu Lin was very happy to find the super large fan-shaped window. She has always liked this kind of place with a bit of history, especially because it suddenly made her feel like a princess.Wu Lin excitedly stood in front of the window and looked down. Although there was no special scenery, but... I don't know why, as long as Wu Lin stood at the window and looked up at the sky, she would inexplicably feel better.The world is so big, her troubles are always so trivial, aren't they?

While Wu Lin was still admiring her future residence, Finch also got through to John.

"I heard, Mr. Rhys, you are going to deal with Benton. May I ask what you plan to do with Benton?"

"Of course, Mr. Finch. I'm just going to take out the trash."

"I thought we had agreed that no undue violence should be used, Mr. Reese?"

"Finch, I just talked to him and he agreed not to make me regret it, it wasn't violence, was it?"

The silence spread for a few seconds, and John suddenly became serious: ["Finch, why did you do this? This machine, these numbers, everything?"]

【"I said it, Mr. Reese. I have my reasons. What about our little problem with Detective Carter?"】

【"already solved."】

"What about Ms. Lin's?"

"She's just a rookie with no experience. Still, she's hiding something from us."

"Well, I believe we still need to keep her distance?"

"No, let her participate. This way we can find out what she's hiding. By the way, don't you have a monitoring system for her phone? Don't turn it off."

"Of course. Oh, by the way, since Ms. Lin already has a safe house, I think it would be too unfair for you not to, so I sent you the address of your safe house, and the key is on the table inside the house. "

"Then how do I get in?"

"I'm sure it doesn't bother you, does it, Mr. Reese?"

"Oh, of course, of course."

At the same time, Wu Lin probably cleaned up the room. She regretted that her backpack was still in John's hotel. After thinking about it, she decided to obediently wait for them to contact her first.It's not that she wants to, but she must. To gain their trust, she must first make them feel that she is trustworthy.The way for them to relax is to be quiet. Anyway, Wu Lin can be sure that with John's way of acting, they will definitely bring her by their side to observe.As long as they don't notice her abnormality, they will always start to trust her. It doesn't need much, just the most basic is enough...

Her act of pretending to know a thing about machines was just a plan, maybe not the best, but... the simplest she could think of.Well, maybe it's not that simple.If they felt she knew a lot, then they would have nothing to hide from her, that was her idea.And being able to get them to start "saying" things to her requires basic trust.

She was playing with the phone that Finch gave her. She really wanted to take it apart to have a look, but since she already knew that it should have the function of monitoring, it would probably be known if she took it apart, so she still insisted. Resist your curiosity.Is there any difference between the high-tech here and the high-tech over there?She remembered that when she was studying astronomy a long time ago, she learned about string theory. Every world is different and independent, so the most basic laws of physics are also different.Well... the technology will probably be different too, no matter how small.

After studying the room, walking away for a while, and playing with her mobile phone for a while, Wu Lin was finally bored and began to feel hungry.So she went downstairs and looked around. It didn't seem to be a particularly good neighborhood. Fortunately, there were restaurants, supermarkets and so on.She even went shopping for a while. Although she still didn't buy any clothes, she did buy some vegetables and necessities, such as toothbrushes and so on.After returning to her temporary home and packing up her things, she sat quietly in front of the window again, with her hands wrapped around her knees, watching the faint starlight for a while before going back to bed to sleep.

Note 7: This is entirely because the author takes it for granted that science background is more curious, likes to think, and likes to solve puzzles, so... just ignore it.

Note 8: This address is the room that Finch gave John in the extended version, but after editing, this house was cut off. Later, on John’s birthday, Finch gave another house, so I extended it The one in the version was used as a house for the heroine.
