It was close to ten o'clock in the evening. The Wanfu Store on Locke Street has always been open 24 hours a day, but now that technology and logistics are advanced, there are few people visiting the physical store. At this moment, there is no one to see all year round.

Tonight, however, a customer came.

The half-height vending robot greeted it enthusiastically at the first time, with a cute smiling face on the display screen, and the robot asked: "Hello, customer, may I help you?"

After get off work, Ji Cheying looked at the robot in front of him, recalling the scene when he bumped into Xie Quan here that day, and he took out his ID card from his pocket.

Holding it in front of the robot, his voice was calm and capable, "The military requires you to cooperate."

The information in the ID card was quickly transmitted to the smart center through the robot's scanner, and at this time, all the devices connected to the same smart network in the store obtained this information——"The identity information has been verified as a five-star major general of the Imperial Army, who enjoys the privileges of civilian public equipment." Control authority, and provide convenience and necessary assistance for the person to pass without endangering public safety."

The eyes on the robot's screen flickered, "Major General, what instructions do you have?"

Ji Cheying asked decisively, "Where is salesperson robot No. 0386?"

No. 0386 was the robot that was with Xie Quan when he met Xie Quan in the alley.

The camera in the alley was tampered with, but each robot also has its own camera. Maybe this No. 0386 recorded something, which can help him figure out what Xie Quan did in the alley.

In fact, Ji Cheying had thought about it ever since he found out that there was a problem with the monitoring, but it was temporarily shelved because of various things. After all, Xie Quan had temporarily ruled out the suspicion in the Beta case.

But Xie Quan's actions today reminded him of this matter again.

Calling up the monitoring screen in No. 0386's main brain, Ji Cheying adjusted the time to the afternoon of the day he met Xie Quan.

After fast forwarding non-stop, he finally saw Xie Quan's figure.

At that time, No. 0386 was arranging the goods, but saw the figure of the young man in the inadvertent swing, and he was bending over and talking to another robot.

As soon as the screen turns, when it turns back again, the young man is no longer there.

Ji Cheying fast forwarded again with a blank expression, about 10 minutes later, Xie Quan returned to the store, and walked in front of No. 0386.

Ji Cheying restored the screen to normal speed.

The young man in the picture stands in front of No. 0386, bending slightly, as if talking to a child.

Although there is not much expression on his face, there is a kind tenderness in those beautiful eyes, and even his voice is softer than usual, "I need you to do me a favor, can you trouble me?" Are you coming out with me?"

No. 0386 agreed: "Okay, respected guest."

Immediately afterwards, Xie Quan took No. 0386 to the alley outside the store.

Ji Cheying frowned.

What exactly is Xie Quan going to do when he brings the robot here?

Then, I saw Xie Quan looking at No. 0386, looked up and down carefully, and then murmured: "Well, is this the joint of the arm? It sounds like it's worn out..." He muttered, While taking out a screwdriver from his pocket, he stretched out his hand to No. 0386. After a few seconds, No. 0386's surveillance screen flashed.

When the screen turned on again, Xie Quan stood in front of a man, and No. 0386 asked again: "Hello, guest, may I help you?"

The camera of No. 0386 hovered between the two, and the other was Ji Cheying who broke in at that time.

Ji Cheying switched the screen back to before switching the screen again.

Seeing Xie Quan's outstretched hand towards No. 0386, and the subsequent screen switch, Ji Cheying realized that it was Xie Quan who opened the main console of the robot with a screwdriver and put the robot to sleep.

Recalling Xie Quan's soliloquy before, Ji Cheying's eyes were placed on the arm of No. 0386 in front of him.

He adjusted the screen again to the time when No. 0386 was sorting out the goods before Xie Quan called No. 0386 out.

This time, he turned the volume up to the max.

Then he heard a few rough 'clicks' on the screen as 0386's arm was bobbing up and down.

He looked forward to some previous pictures. Indeed, there were some strange sounds when No. 0386's arm was moving.

Ji Cheying had a guess in his mind, and he ordered: "Number 0386, wave your hand."

After receiving the order, No. 0386 immediately swung his arms up and down.

Ji Cheying closed her eyes and listened carefully, the strange 'click' sound in the picture disappeared.

Not only that, Ji Cheying also adjusted the monitoring screen to the scene where the video recording was resumed at 0386 and returned to the store to work.

After carefully confirming several times, I made sure that I didn't miss anything.

Ji Cheying opened his eyes, and looked at No. 0386 in front of him strangely.

He had all kinds of guesses, for example, Xie Quan was trying to steal something, or Xie Quan was plotting something.

But he never expected that the other party was actually repairing robots here? ?

and--

Ji Cheying turned his attention to other robots, recalling the scene of Xie Quan talking to other robots that he accidentally photographed before No. 0386, a ridiculous guess arose in his mind.

Could it be that Xie Quan repaired all the robots here?

As soon as this idea appeared in Ji Cheying's mind, he folded his hands and laughed self-consciously absurdly.

Does anyone do such a thing?

A snail girl following the footsteps of the world?

Oh no, it's the snail boy.

With the thought of disbelief, Ji Cheying checked the video records of the other robots.

After confirming the figure of the young man holding a screwdriver from these videos, Ji Cheying finally realized with all her heart - there really are such people in this world.

The real snail boy.

Ji Cheying rubbed between her brows with some headaches, and sighed.Why did the more he tried to figure out Xie Quan, the more he found that Xie Quan was incomprehensible?

Rewind the screen to the very beginning again, and click play.

When the screen ends, click again to play backwards and continue.

Time passed by bit by bit, Ji Cheying was sitting on the rest chairs prepared for customers in the store, he was still looking at the picture projected into the air for the third time, in the picture the young man was talking with the robot tenderly and patiently.

The pictures are all from the robot's first perspective, Ji Cheying suddenly had an illusion, as if Xie Quan on the picture was talking to him.

That gentle gaze also passed through time and space lightly like a feather and fell directly into Ji Cheying's eyes.

This shows that Xie Quan must have looked into the eyes of the robot when he was talking.

That's right, he even bends down to look into the robot's eyes.

Does this guy know that when he talks and looks at people like this, it looks like he is abducting children?

Recalling that Xie Quan's face and clothes were stained when he saw Xie Quan at that time, Ji Cheying thought that something happened to him at that time, but now it seems that it was probably done when repairing the robot.

Ji Cheying leaned back on the back of the chair with her back stretched, looking at the picture with her deep eyes, the youth's shining eyes, like the morning after the rain.Unknowingly, the line of Ji Cheying's resolute mandible softened a lot, and there was a slight but extremely gentle curve on his lips.

This was the first time he had seen Xie Quan like this, as if he had been infused with a soul, with a different vibrancy than usual.

Does Xie Quan like robots so much?

Looking at it, Ji Cheying suddenly frowned, and the line of her lips tightened.

Because he suddenly discovered one thing - Xie Quan had never looked at him like this.

Is he not as good as these dumb robots?

For some unknown purpose, Ji Cheying watched these images several times, and while watching them, he suddenly noticed something.

Pausing the screen where Xie Quan put the robot to sleep, Ji Cheying looked at the time 15:35.21 in the lower right corner. When the robot was activated again, the time in the lower right corner was 15:49.10.

Not even 15 minutes in between.

This also has to exclude Xie Quan's preparation time, which is already the time for the robot to resume operation after restarting.

In other words, Xie Quan completed the disassembly and restoration of the robot's parts in about 10 minutes?

Ji Cheying is not a mechanic, but as a qualified mecha fighter, he still has some mechanical knowledge.While in military school, he also took courses in mechanical design.

Even if he hasn't learned it, he still knows that disassembling and restoring the parts of the robot in 10 minutes is something very human can do.

Ji Cheying suddenly remembered what Xie Quan said to herself at that time.

"I'm not very smart, my brain is not working well, and I will be fired every time I don't work for too long."

When Xie Quan was helping him fix the dishwasher in the apartment before, or later when Xie Quan resolved Xie Yi's troubles with a few words, he should have realized that - this guy, he is not very smart, his brain is not good enough. So that 'these words are related?

Thinking of her own answer at that time, Ji Cheying smiled sarcastically.

No wonder at the time I felt that Xie Quan's answer was too similar to my own.

But it's just similar, the two of them pretended to be together.

However, at this moment, Ji Cheying's communicator suddenly rang.

Once connected, the voice of his subordinate came out.

"Major General, there is a report, that Xie Quan has been kidnapped."

====

The time was turned back to a few hours ago. After Xie Quan was tied into the car by Marquez, the person next to him forcibly took away the optical brain and other electronic equipment from Xie Quan's body, and searched Xie Quan's pocket. When the man took out a universal screwdriver, a utility knife, a small pliers, and a pair of screws of different models from Xie Quan's left and right pockets.

The man asked, "Hey, who is this kid?"

He threw those things away with some disgust.

Marquez glanced at the things that were found, and frowned, "Don't worry about it, there is nothing else on you, right?"

"Well, it's gone." Everything that could be used as a weapon and used for communication was taken out.

Xie Quan looked at those things that were casually thrown aside, and sighed in his heart, what a bunch of people who don't know how to cherish them.

It's a good thing he didn't carry his backpack today, otherwise he would be in trouble if they saw the contents inside.

In the next second, Xie Quan was blindfolded.

After about an hour and a minute of driving, the vehicle stopped, and Xie Quan was roughly dragged out of the car. When he got out of the car, he smelled a fishy and salty smell.

is the port.

But no sound of ships sailing was heard.

Probably an abandoned port.

Xie Quan was half pushed and half shoved into a closed place.

Immediately afterwards, someone tied his hands behind his back. The man's technique was very rough, and the rough rope was deeply embedded in his flesh, as if trying to strangle his wrist.

At this time, the cloth on Xie Quan's eyes was lifted.

Xie Quan's eyes quickly adapted to the dim environment, blinked his eyes, and then quickly looked at the current environment.

At this time, Marquez walked up to Xie Quan, grabbed Xie Quan's chin with one hand, then sneered, and then slapped him hard——

The author has something to say:

Ji Cheying: Can't I compare to these robots? ?

Xie Quan: Yes.

Ji Cheying:? ? ? ?
