[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn

Five days later, at two fifty in the morning.

The phone rang suddenly, and I immediately forced myself to wake up from my deep sleep. I reached out and took a look. It turned out to be the classmate who was entrusted by me to test the black and unknown substance in the inner and outer coffins.

I understood the importance of this substance, hung up the phone immediately, and sent him a text message to tell him to go online and video chat.

When I put down my phone and turned around, Poker Face had sat up on the bed without a sound, looking at me silently with lowered eyes.

My accomplishments in this area of ​​agency are definitely not as good as Poker's, so I also invited him to come and take a look, and sent Brother Zhu to torment his father.

Taking advantage of the time when the fat man turned the machine on, I grabbed a shirt and put it on—this can be regarded as an indirect way of seeing outsiders, and I can't play hooligans with my upper body naked and only wearing a CK through the optical fiber.

I know that classmate is quite nerdy and has always been nervous.But as soon as the video started, the sharp contrast between his chicken coop hair and his neat lab coat still surprised me.

The background of the video is a large scientific research laboratory with bright lights and pale white as the main color. The opposite side is very quiet, as if there is no one else except my classmate.From the beginning of the video to the present, the classmate is immersed in writing, not caring about the working camera at all, and we can't see his face.

After a stalemate like this for about 5 minutes, the fat man couldn't take it anymore, he rubbed his eyes and whispered sneakily: "Naive, in the middle of the night, did you deliberately organize us Audio-Technica to watch a silent horror movie? Fatty, thank you for your kindness! "As he spoke, the fat man poked me, lowered his voice a bit, and said: "This kid looks too young, is it reliable?"

A voice came from the laptop speaker:

"Hmph, the person opposite is quite good at 'knowing people by face'. It just so happens that I have taught myself a first-level master's degree in investigative psychology and anti-surveillance because of my interest. I will try it today and see if it works."

As he said that, he finally raised his face, with a look of tiredness and unknown excitement.He observed the fat man and Poker Ping, his eyes paused for a moment on Poker Ping, and finally fell on my face, and he frowned suddenly.

"Wu Xie, haven't contacted for so many years, have you made a very good friend?"

He used the accent for "severe".

I also frowned, wondering if I know you very well?This is very uncomfortable to hear.What's more, in the middle of the night, I didn't want you to be a confidant uncle, so hurry up and get to the point.

"A few years after graduating from university, I lost contact with you on the Internet. I still thought that I could have two rounds with you at any time on the weekend. By the way, there will be a class reunion in two days, and it will be in Hangzhou. Are you going?"

The topic became more and more open, but I suddenly remembered the days when I was in school.

I thought my student days were the most painful and boring, but now that I think about them, that time has turned into a sunny and interesting life that I can never go back to.It's a pity that it's already a little blurry, and it feels a bit like a world away.

But to my surprise, now that I calm down and think about it, I may only have "nostalgia" for those days.

I am content with my current life.

My mind was very distracted, and Poker Ping, who had been silent behind me, suddenly said in a calm tone: "Who are you? You know me."

These words carried an affirmative tone, and as soon as I uttered them, I immediately noticed that the pupils of the old classmate on the opposite side shrank imperceptibly.

My heart suddenly went cold. --what does that mean?The old classmate knew Poker Ping and probably knew that there was such a "Zhang family" in the world.So how much did he know, and when did he know it?If you knew it before you met me, or you approached me because you knew this game, then it also proved that I was indeed as I speculated, just like Poker Ping, who was counted into the game from birth, so that no matter what No matter how hard he struggled, he still reached the present point.

I took a deep breath and felt a chill run down my back.

I always felt that before and after I met the big gold tooth, I existed in different worlds, but these two worlds were suddenly opened up by the current situation. This feeling made me at a loss. The rhythm is too complicated to think about.

The guy on the other side continued to play dumb:

"Huh? Did this little brother also work as a plane model? I was also approached by a star exploration company before. Wu Xie, I think you are also good." After speaking, I laughed dryly, and I was stunned for a while, thinking that this kind of The blunt emergency really shouldn't be what the wily people in this bureau should do, it's too fake.

"There's no need to hide it." After Poker Fing finished speaking, he put his left hand firmly on my shoulder.I immediately understood that this was a gesture to show intimacy and trust, so I quickly and cooperatively lifted my paw to his hand and clenched it tightly.

The eyebrows of the old classmate on the opposite side visibly trembled. I saw his tangled expression, as if he wanted to support his forehead, but he held back in the end.

He suddenly stood up from the table, looked directly at the Poker bottle, and then made a very strange gesture seriously, as if it was a kind of etiquette, which seemed familiar to me.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch. I'm an ordinary member of the Zhang family's family, Zhejiang Guibu. I only know you because I saw your photo."

Fatty and I were stunned, and collectively shifted our eyes to observe his hands, but found that they were of ordinary length, no different from ordinary people.

I actually got acquainted with Poker Finger's clansman before I met him. This is too fateful, but the power of the Zhang family is really terrifying.I suddenly remembered that the instructor of the military training at the university seems to be named Zhang, the physical education teacher and the four classmates in the class are also named Zhang, and the old man who sells cotton candy at the door of my parent Sha’s hometown seems to be named Zhang. Could it be that they are also...?

I was chilled by my own guessing, and I didn't know it. I knew that my old problem of paranoia and overthinking had flared up again.

Like a rabbit being targeted, the classmate carefully observed Poker Ping's expression before he said: "I am the most peripheral member of the Zhang family, and the family has not done fighting for several generations. The work of science and education personnel is regularly handed over to the family to seek shelter, and it will only play its due role when the family needs it. Therefore, when I was a child, I neither needed to participate in the training of the Zhang family nor to be released into the wild. The family has always lived with ordinary citizens Naturally, we don’t have hairy fingers in life. And because of our impure blood, we won’t live forever, but our IQ or physical ability is slightly higher than ordinary people’s.”

As he said that, he sneaked another glance at Poker Bottle, with curiosity and awe in his eyes, "Even, the Zhang family only contacted us one-way, and gave us some simple information that we should know, for example, uh... sent the patriarch On the back of the photo of the lord, there is only a red marker written on the back, 'Current patriarch Zhang Qiling - Absolutely obey, if you get relevant news, report back to the family as soon as possible.'”

I squinted my eyes—this rookie revealed all the inside information of the Zhang family’s family in one sentence—the lower members of the Zhang family are still led by the patriarch and spiritual leader, but they don’t know that the senior members of the Zhang family are completely They only regard Zhang Qiling as a false belief to stabilize the family, but in fact they have been secretly trying to manipulate him, order him, and force him, so as to control the Zhang family.

What "you must report back to the family as soon as you get news about the relevant patriarchs" seems to be concerned, but it is actually surveillance. ——I am afraid that the patriarch will make his own decisions and do something "out of line".

Thinking of this, I took a sneak peek at Poker Bottle—his face was still expressionless and his eyes were out of focus—I really wanted to sigh, but I still couldn't say something when it came to my lips.

After that, the eyes of the old classmate never left his great patriarch. He quickly and briefly explained the function of that black substance, and restored some of its material properties and principles.

I researched it with Poker-Face and Fatty, and felt that although this cracking method was unbelievably simple, it required a lot of manpower and material resources, so we decided to split up after dawn.I provide some technical and mechanical support, Poker Bottle is in charge of manpower supply, and Fatty is in charge of training, guiding and feeding Brother Pig.

After the plan to break up was finalized, Pokerfoil fell down on the bed behind me again. After I told him, I left the hotel room and sat against the wall near the window on the porch in the distance, lit a cigarette, and slowly ground pumping.

To be honest, it would be good for everyone if we think about the cycle a bit more.What's more, I am a little uneasy now, and I am still worried about the situation in Changsha and Hangzhou. Unfortunately, for the ultimate rescue plan, I need to abandon some important things.

There is gain only when there is loss.

The mobile phone QQ suddenly rang a notification tone, I unlocked the lock screen to see, it was a voice from the old classmate just now, I thought to myself that the sky is almost dawn, isn't he tired?Too excited to meet his eldest idol?

"Wu Xie, how did you hook up with the head of the Zhang family? This is a character who only appeared in the myths before I went to bed when I was a child. When did you become so awesome?!"

Unexpectedly, Poker Bottle has quite a public influence.

I laughed for a while and replied:

"On the side of the street, at the corner."

Within a few seconds, the other party replied immediately, with a growling voice: "You have watched too many Taiwanese dramas! It's too bloody! Good night, my sister!"

For some reason, I decided not to care about this little lunatic, went to wash my face, lay back on the big bed in the room, squinted my eyes to see the morning light coming in through the curtains, and fell asleep unconsciously.
