Higurashi

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Qin Yu woke up on time and wanted to get up from the bed, but just as he moved, he found Bai Hanming lying on his side very close to him, with an arm firmly around his waist.

Qin Yu turned over cautiously, facing Bai Hanming, trying to pull Bai Hanming's hand away.But as soon as he touched it, Bai Hanming opened his eyes: "Wake up so early?"

Qin Yu met his eyes in the dark, Bai Hanming's voice was still a little hoarse, and his breath was close at hand.Qin Yu stepped back a little and said, "You can enter the city at 05:30."

"Alright, go early and come back early." Bai Hanming smiled, and when he retracted his arms, his palms slid across Qin Yu's waist.He sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Eat something before leaving."

"En." Qin Yu responded, and also stood up to wash.Bai Hanming has become familiar with the structure of his house in the past few days. When Qin Yu went to the bathroom with his clothes in his arms, he boiled water in a kettle and made two cups of oatmeal.The sound of Qin Yu brushing his teeth came from the bathroom, combined with the warm yellow light leaking from the crack of the door, it outlined a warm and breezy morning.

After breakfast, Qin Yu began to pack his backpack.He first took out all the things in the backpack, a few passports with different identities, a box of ammunition, a few pieces of high-calorie chocolate, some medicines and tools for emergency wound treatment, and a world map.Bai Hanming looked at these things one by one, and when he reached the map, his eyes stopped.

"When did you buy it?" Bai Hanming asked, "It looks very new."

Qin Yu put the passport back into his backpack, and left everything else to Bai Hanming, "The morning the library closed, I wanted to know where the place you mentioned was."

Bai Hanming opened the map and spread it on the coffee table.The border of the map is arc-shaped, marking the boundaries of several continents and oceans. The longitude and latitude lines cut the earth into a grid. The territory of the Northern Alliance is marked in bright red, stretching from the equator, covering almost the entire northern hemisphere.

Qin Yu thought he would point him to the location of the Sennar region, but Bai Hanming's finger slowly slid along the coast of the mainland on the edge of the map, and said abruptly: "Qin Yu, the earth is getting smaller."

Qin Yu looked at him puzzled.Bai Hanming put the chocolate and medicine left on the table back into his backpack: "The safety inspection device at the entrance of the information department will alarm if it detects metal. Weapons cannot be brought in. There is no problem with food. You will not be in danger. I promise."

Qin Yu nodded. He didn't care much about the danger, but he was a little worried that Bai Hanming would stay at home alone.

Perhaming folded the map again, and didn't seem to want to explain Sennar or the meaning of "the earth is getting smaller" to him.Qin Yu stopped asking questions, put away his things, and said goodbye to Bai Hanming.

Bai Hanming leaned against the door frame, his bangs were casually scattered on his forehead, he looked handsome and lazy.After Qin Yu put on his shoes and stood up, he raised his hand and pulled up the neckline of his windbreaker jacket for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu thought for a while, but still said: "If you need anything, you can go upstairs, he will help."

Bai Hanming just laughed: "Really? Do you want me to find him?"

"...Mmm." Qin Yu hid half of his face in the collar that Bai Hanming made up for him, and said dully, "You also pay attention to safety."

"Okay." Bai Hanming was very happy, couldn't help smiling, and almost wanted to kiss Qin Yu again.He liked Qin Yu's cuteness, and also liked Qin Yu's duplicity at this time. In the end, he leaned over, kissed Qin Yu's forehead, and said, "Go, come back early."

Qin Yu set off with a blushing face, with the structure diagram of the information department drawn by Bai Hanming in the bag, and a handwritten letter to whom he did not know, and went to the city center alone.

The recipient's address was in a house along the street near Central Park.It's not too far, but you need to enter the city first, and then take a bus.

Buying a bus ticket is not difficult, the hard part is getting into the city.There is a 20-meter-high wall between the exile and the city center. It is said that it is a fortification left over from the war. The checks of entering and exiting the city are carried out under the wall.On the one hand, the flow of people outside the city is strictly controlled, and the clean urban area cannot be tarnished.On the other hand, going out of the city is a dangerous thing. There are countless evil factors hidden in the world outside the city wall that may bring bad people.In order to ensure the physical and mental health of the citizens, only a very small number of people with specific jobs were allowed to pass under the city walls.

They were required to have a legal pass and then searched.The guards led the police dogs, opened everyone's backpacks, and shook out all the contents.

But the more it was like this, every time Qin Yu passed by here, things became more and more ironic.This tall and thick city wall seems impregnable, but in fact there are many loopholes that can be exploited.Poverty outside the wall is a huge business opportunity for people inside the wall. Those who have social resources have plenty of ways to squeeze money from those who have no money.Black labor with low hourly wages and no |tax, illegal transactions of selling organs and bodies.Without recognition of human rights, body parts become commodities available for trade.The poor have nothing but a body, so they sell everything they can in exchange for tomorrow's rations, no one is watching, and the government doesn't care.

Qin Yu handed over his pass, and the official seal on it came from the labor service area under the Ministry of Materials.

The guard took a look and asked, "Are you voluntary?"

"Voluntary." Qin Yu calmly gave the secret signal.The guard showed a sarcastic expression. The material department manages public materials, while labor refers to labor.What is the labor managed by the material department?It's just a waiter in the red light street.

In an age where romantic relationships need to be reported and marriages await approval, it is extremely immodest to have sex|relationships with others without permission.Sex|Relationships are endowed with the sacred meaning of procreation, so love becomes a selfish act of seeking self-happiness. Only marriage for the purpose of forming a family is a good citizen who has made great contributions to social stability and national development.

But human nature is really hard to suppress.Two years after the implementation of the new marriage law, the sex|crime rate rose sharply.After a social investigation, the social science department attributed the cause to Beta women's excessive demands on the other half's material conditions, which caused a large number of Beta men to find it difficult to obtain a partner that meets their own conditions, so that their sexual impulses are excessively suppressed and have to be resolved through crimes.

This is so pathetic.An adult who contributes selflessly to society should have the right to vent his pressure.As a result, several conference halls should operate legally, selling alcohol and sex.Although the distribution of pornographic materials is restricted, and private circulation will be punished, the waiters in the club can receive guests openly.

Most of these waiters come from outside the city and are selected by the material department.They are one of the very few people who can travel in and out of the city, because such people are not worthy of living in a decent urban area, although their existence is completely in line with the laws of the alliance, but a bitch is a bitch, who can accept them to live next to them ?

Qin Yu sometimes questioned such a law, and sometimes hesitated, thinking about the correctness of this questioning.The plan for the disposition of the exile and its inhabitants was not without social opposition, but a sentence written in the autobiography after the retirement of the previous president quickly tempered those sentiments. "Wealth comes from individual efforts, and poverty comes from personal incompetence." Such a positive and healthy sense of struggle is simply irrefutable. As long as you hold this idea, all exploitation of others becomes reasonable.

Man is truly an amazing animal.Sometimes they are very united, shouting that individuals should fight for the future of the group, you have to give birth, you have to pay taxes, and you have to fight against the common enemy.But most of the time, they are extremely indifferent, and individuals can never understand each other.

Qin Yu put the pass back into the bag, and entered the city under the obscene eyes of the guards.

He bought a one-way ticket and took a bus to the north of the city, near the Union government.The greening in this area is very exquisite. Beautiful sycamores and ginkgoes are planted along the street. In late autumn, the golden ginkgoes fall all over the ground, which is too beautiful to be seen in the world.Qin Yu stepped on the leaves and knocked on the recipient's door.

The person who opened the door was an Asian man with black hair and black eyes, who looked like a Beta, wearing a pair of glasses and a neat suit.

"Hello, please sign for the letter." Qin Yu handed out the sealed envelope in a tone similar to that of a postal courier.There was no stamp on the envelope, but Perhaming had drawn a very scribbled symbol with a pen.

The man was originally cold, but the moment he saw the symbol, his expression changed.

"Come in." He opened the door a little, and looked at the street behind Qin Yu to make sure that no one was paying attention to them.Qin Yu nodded and walked into the door frame.The man closed the door, frowned and asked, "It's Mr. Bai's letter, where is he?"

"In a safe place." Qin Yu wasn't sure who this person was, so he didn't say it directly.

"I know you." The man saw his defensiveness, relaxed his expression, and said, "I know your name is Qin Yu, and you were the one who took Mr. Bai away in the theater. I am between him and Mr. Xi Ye." The liaison officer is called Li Huaishan, you can rest assured."

Speaking of leading the way, he signaled Qin Yu to follow him inside.They walked across the front porch of the mansion to the second floor.Li Huaishan pushed open the door and turned on the light. It was a very ordinary study room. There was a telephone on the desk, and a few pious political books were placed in the cabinet.

"Sit down for a while, I'll make tea."

Li Huaishan looked older than Bai Hanming, because he was wearing a suit, he looked very gentlemanly.He made Qin Yu a cup of fragrant black tea, and took out half a red velvet cake from the small freezer, cut out a small piece, and placed it in front of Qin Yu with a teaspoon.Qin Yu felt that he was very similar to a certain type of person from the west coast of the Pacific according to the rumors, and he had a certain temperament very similar to Bai Hanming.

Qin Yu took a sip of tea and didn't touch the cake.

Li Huaishan took out a paper cutter from the desk drawer and began to open Bai Hanming's letters.Qin Yu read and wrote Bai Hanming's letter. Although he didn't see the specific content clearly, the length of the letter itself was very short.Li Huaishan put down the letter in less than ten seconds.He frowned again, looking at Qin Yu with more inquisitive eyes.

Li Huaishan said: "Mr. Bo asked me to send you to the Ministry of Information to take out the war agreement signed between the North and the South in Bossey Island in the spring of 85 in the old calendar."

Qin Yu nodded, that's why he came here.

Li Huaishan added: "But this is different from our original plan. I must report to Mr. Xi Ye first. In addition, the guards of the Ministry of Information belong to the president. I can do nothing. Only Mr. Xi Ye can arrange for you to sneak in."

"You can arrange it." Qin Yu remembered what Bai Hanming said, he trusted the people Bai Hanming trusted.

"Okay, please sit down, I'll make a call."

Li Huaishan was cautious, and added a little more water to Qin Yu's black tea, which he drank in two mouthfuls.Then he picked up the phone on the desk, turned the key, and dialed a number.

The phone was connected quickly, and the person on the other side spoke first, not knowing what to say.Li Huaishan glanced at Qin Yu, and said into the receiver: "Mr. Bai just sent a letter asking for a replacement of the [-]:[-] pointer."

This should be a secret signal, Qin Yu didn't explore it, just sat on the sofa with downcast eyes, nothing to do, just stared at the tea leaves in the black teacup in a daze.

After saying a few more words to the other side, Li Huaishan quickly nodded and said, "Understood, I will take him there."

Then he hung up the phone and walked towards Qin Yu again.Qin Yu thought that his phone call would last for a while, but he didn't expect it to end so quickly.Li Huaishan put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Xi Ye wants to see you, and I will send you there tonight."

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to happen.He hesitated for two seconds and asked, "What about the Ministry of Information? When are you going?"

"You will go directly from Mr. Xi Ye." Li Huaishan smiled modestly, "Please don't worry, Mr. Bai has already explained in the letter, we will do our best to ensure your safety."
