32 days

Yi Alan's body twitched as if diving to the surface from the bottom of the water, and he sat up straight suddenly, inhaling deeply and continuously.His pupils were still shrunk, as if the tip of the knife was still hanging in front of his eyes.

He touched his safe and sound chest, looked at the warmly lit bedroom that had been with him for many years, and fell into an unspeakable panic.

When the knife was about to pierce his body, at twelve o'clock, he actually came back from the 32nd.

He is far away from the murderer at this moment, very safe.However, another month later, the knife would inevitably plunge into his heart.He will die, must die.

It was the first time that the shadow of death enveloped Yi Alan so tightly and realistically. He could hardly breathe, his heart was beating fast, and he seemed to desperately escape from the body that was about to bring him complete death.

Yi Alan sat blankly for an unknown amount of time, but the ringing of the mobile phone barely brought back his lost soul.

Like a robot, he moved his head stiffly and looked at the sounding object. The images received by the eyes were transmitted to the brain. The brain was like a CPU that was about to be eliminated. After a while, he gave an analysis: the phone rang, and it was time to answer it.

Yi Alan took the phone and saw that it was Jian Cheng calling.

The flying thoughts finally came back to normal. Yi Alan told Jian Cheng, and Jian Xuming's notes also mentioned that the day of the 32nd is just an instant in the normal world.So Jian Cheng reckoned that several minutes had passed since the 34:[-] that Yi Alan said, before calling to inquire about the situation.

"Alan?" Jian Cheng was very anxious, "How is it? Have you been to the 32nd? Have you come back?"

"I..." Just as Yi Alan was about to speak, he realized that there was no sound coming out of his throat. He lowered his head and temporarily put everything on hold.

Jian Cheng was quiet for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Alan, is something wrong?"

"I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?" Yi Alan said weakly, her voice didn't resemble his own.

The tomorrow he said was actually today, but he just had to wait for the dawn, for the sun to come out, and for the city to resume its bustle.

Jian Cheng paused slightly, and said softly, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to hang up the phone and didn't ask any more questions, even though he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Yi Alan lay powerlessly, staring at the ceiling and fell into a void of silence.

He turned over and faced out of the window, surprised to find that the sky was already bright, and the sky light showed a silver-blue color through the goose yellow velvet curtains.

At this moment, Yi Alan felt that it was difficult to breathe, and he had to open his mouth to let the carbon dioxide out. There were too many things in his body.He had to sit in front of death for a month, day and night, examine all aspects of death, let his soul be whipped in front of death, struggle in vain, and then die inescapably.

He was murdered on the 32nd, but in the eyes of his relatives, he died unexpectedly.

Is there anything more unbearable than this.

Yi Alan sometimes feels that life is really difficult, but he never thought of dying like this.

There was a sound in the living room, Yue Ximing, who was on the morning shift, woke up, and then with the sound of closing the door, the movement disappeared, and she went out.

Then grandma got up too, making some breakfast in the kitchen.

It was daylight.

Yi Alan got up and opened the curtains. His whole body was bathed in the scorching sun on the morning of August [-]st. The heat was so hot that sweat quickly rolled down his face.

This finally made him feel the real discomfort, breaking through his night of emptiness and unspeakable pain.

Yi Alan turned off the camera that had been on since last night. He is not in the mood to go back and see what kind of state he will be in when he goes to the 32nd.He walked to the living room to do something that he should have done first thing last night.

Yi Alan took his uncle's mobile phone from his grandma, opened the social software used by his uncle before his death, checked the chat history, found a person who seemed to be his colleague, and asked him who was the big creditor that his uncle chased in the last period of his life? who.

The colleague was a little frightened when he received the news of his deceased colleague. Only after reading the content did he realize that the inquirer was Yi Xiaoshan's nephew.Out of fright, he quickly sent information about the creditor to Yi Alan.

Yi Alan saw the photo of that person, yes, it was him.

Xu Junbin.Lao Lai.

Although Yi Xiaoshan’s debt collection business is often frantically probing on the edge of the law, the source is not illegal usury, but some banks hand over difficult-to-collect and almost broken debts to some debt collection companies. If the company really recovers the debt, it can take a large part of the debt alone.

Xu Junbin is such an old man who owes money to the bank.When he was young, he followed the trend of robotics and artificial intelligence entrepreneurship. At that time, national policies paid great attention to related industries and gave great support to enterprises.Xu Junbin was just greedy for those policy subsidies. He had no business rules, did not understand the technology and the market, and later failed to pass the increasingly perfect subsidy policy review, causing the company to close down, and the low-interest loans owed to the bank were not repaid. Running around and hiding for many years.

In fact, during that period of hot start-ups, there were many entrepreneurs like Jian Xuming who seized the market and successfully started their businesses, and there were more entrepreneurs like Xu Junbin who thought they were at the forefront of the times or dared to cheat under the guise of a robot with just a few machines. speculators.

Among the creditors that Yi Xiaoshan has pursued, a large part of them used to be quite brilliant bosses, and a large proportion of them were related to the robotics and artificial intelligence industries.

That's why after Xu Junbin killed Yi Xiaoshan, he killed Jane Xuming, chairman of Jianjian Technology, and then met Yi Alan at the South Railway Branch. It seemed a coincidence, but it was inevitable.

Yes, Yi Alan finally recognized Xu Junbin. At that time, he didn't know Xu Junbin's name, but only recognized his face.

When Yi Alan first appeared on the 32nd, she saw her uncle chasing Xu Junbin. At that time, Yi Alan almost bumped into Xu Junbin. She only saw his face vaguely, but she had a deep impression of his body shape.

Later, in the normal world, when Yi Alan went to his uncle's cemetery, he saw a burly man wearing a peaked cap at the gate of the cemetery. He felt familiar, but he no longer believed in himself.Thinking about it now, perhaps Xu Junbin went to the cemetery to see Yi Xiaoshan's tomb, to make sure that he was really dead and buried, and to prove that everything that happened on the 32nd was not a dream.

Until the last few minutes of the 32nd, Yi Alan connected the iconic square jaw and darker lips of the murderer who chased him with the lower half of the face under the peaked cap in his memory, and also linked the murderer who chased him Dao's figure overlapped with the figure behind him, and all the clues were suddenly connected.

However, it was this sudden realization that was going to kill him.

Yi Alan wanted to save himself, so he could only start from the normal world.

He forced himself to calm down and think about what to do.

Find Xu Junbin, threaten?It didn't work, Xu Junbin had the absolute upper hand on the 32nd, no matter what Yi Alan did in reality, it had no effect on Xu Junbin there.Maybe Xu Junbin was under pressure or wanted to play Yi Alan, and promised to let him go on the 32nd, but turned around and killed him on the 32nd, and Yi Alan had nowhere to appeal for grievances.

Incentives?What can Yi Alan use to lure him?

And... Yi Alan remembered Xu Junbin's last emotional change on the 32nd.At first, Xu Junbin wanted to find out the secrets of the simple technology branch from him, but later he wanted to kill him regardless.That is to say, Xu Junbin didn't really care about that secret, it would be better if he could get it, and it would be fine if he didn't get it.

Yi Alan can understand Xu Junbin's approach, no matter what Xu Junbin wants to do, but one thing is certain: there are too many secrets that have been spread out in the 32 days.If you can't get simple technology, then change to a more powerful company, there is nothing to do.

As a result, Yi Alan seemed to be helpless.

Unless you kill him.

This terrible idea suddenly popped up in Yi Alan's mind.

impossible.In today's era of highly developed science and technology and the restoration of Skynet, once someone kills someone, he will most likely be jailed for life.His absolute self-defense will not be recognized by any court.

Besides, Yi Alan didn't have the courage to kill anyone.

Yi Alan felt heavy and helpless, and he had to call Jian Cheng back.

"Alan!" Jian Cheng connected almost immediately, with an urgent tone: "How are you?"

Yi Alan said: "I have cleaned up the buildings, factories and branches of Simple Technology, don't worry."

"I'm asking you," Jian Cheng said, "how are you doing?"

Yi Alan paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't hide it from me." Jian Cheng almost begged weakly, "Are you hurt?"

"not yet."

Jian Cheng's heart sank to the bottom, and he heard the turbulent waves behind Yi Alan's words: "Are you at home now? I'll go find you."

"Don't!" Yi Alan said reflexively, he forgot how many male classmates he had refused to go to his house to play, "I'll go find you."

Jian Cheng has already moved to the chairman's office, Yi Alan walked in at this moment, and could still see a corpse lying in a pool of blood in a daze.

Jian Cheng noticed his gaze, and suddenly understood, his expression became sad.But it was too late for him to feel sorry for his father again, he had already seen Yi Alan's haggard face.

Jian Cheng looked at Yi Alan with concern, and said firmly, "You're in trouble."

Although Yi Alan thought about it all the way, she still couldn't weave the scattered words.

Jian Cheng almost forced him: "Alan, it's because of helping me, right? If you don't tell me, I will always feel uneasy. If... If anything happens to you, I will blame it on I."

Yi Alan could only say: "I met the murderer who killed your father."

Jian Cheng became nervous: "And then?"

"We got into a little dispute and he got a little out of control."

Xu Junbin really felt that he was out of control. After he returned to the normal world, he thought over and over again. During the 32 days, he was too easy to lose control. Once he lost control, he wanted to destroy other people's lives.If he was angry in the normal world, he would grab a potted plant leaf and crush it vigorously.In the 32 days, human life without consequences is equivalent to those flowers and leaves that he rubbed.

If it is justifiable to say that killing Yi Xiaoshan is justifiable, but after being chased to nowhere, the evil turns to the gallbladder.But when Jian Xuming was killed, it was too cruel.

After Xu Junbin came back to reality for the first time on the 32nd and learned that Yi Xiaoshan was really dead, he realized that there are endless business opportunities in the 32nd. As long as he can take advantage of them, every business opportunity will bring him huge benefits. Profit without cost.

As a business owner, the first thing he thought of was information technology secrets, which are the lifeline of business.

Under the circumstances that he didn't know that Jian Xuming was also on the 32nd, Xu Junbin was more willing to cooperate with Simple Technology, a leading company in the robotics industry in Nanshui City.But he couldn't get in touch with the simple technology executives at all. If he went to the front desk to talk, he would probably be kicked out on the spot as a lunatic.

Xu Junbin took the next best thing, thinking that Fang Jia, his former vice president, is now a department manager at Carter Robotics, so he contacted him.

Carter Robotics is the first robotics company in country D to enter the domestic market. It quickly seized the market with price wars, and its technology is relatively leading.However, with the gradual improvement of the domestic robot industry, the advantages of Carter Robotics have been equalized, and sales have been declining year by year.After the strong rise of Simple Technology, Carter Robot has encountered a strong opponent, and the company is almost tense when it sees the word Simple.

Fang Jia, who used to be the vice president of Xu Junbin, knew that Xu Junbin had been old for many years, so he didn't want to talk to him, but Xu Junbin couldn't help pestering him with a stern face, and he said, "I can find you any secrets of simple technology you want to know", which made the other party more or less Jia was moved, maybe Xu Junbin really had some gossip about him?

Fang Jia agreed to introduce Xu Junbin to Pete, the current regional director of Carter Robotics, after Xu Junbin really came up with a reliable message from Simple Technology. If the information is really valuable, then the price is by no means a problem.

So on the second 32nd day, Xu Junbin went straight to Simple Technology, he never expected to see Jian Xuming there.He immediately realized that strange goods are available, and he himself is a sought-after "odd goods". He said directly to Jian Xuming: "Carter Robot paid 1000 million to hire me to investigate the commercial secrets of your simple technology. You only need to give me 2000 million. Just give them fake news."

It was impossible to know what Jian Xuming was thinking, anyway, he calmly agreed to Xu Junbin's request.

While Xu Junbin was proud, he quickly thought of an important question.If he wants to get the money, he has to contact Jian Xuming in reality. Even if he only gives him a bank account, he will reveal his true identity. What if Jian Xuming holds a grudge against him and finds someone to do him to completely eliminate the hidden danger?Jian Xuming has a big company behind him, so it's too easy to eliminate him silently.What's more, Jian Xuming has developed a small and simple technology to the current leading position, and his reputation is not good.

Moreover, Jian Xuming himself was also in the 32 days, and when he cleaned up all the secrets of simple technology, he would have nothing to fear and would not be threatened by others again.

Xu Junbin realized that he was seeking skin from a tiger.It is still safe to cooperate with the Carter robot, he believes that the Carter robot will need him to be their spokesperson on the 32nd, and find all the secrets of all opponents for them.

Thinking so, Xu Junbin looked at Jian Xuming.

In the normal world, Jian Xuming is a high-level person that Xu Junbin can only look up to. Xu Junbin has no way to compete with him, but on the 32nd, Jian Xuming, who is nearly [-] years old, is just a slightly thin old man. He can knock Jian Xuming down with a single punch .

And he really did.

Xu Junbin suspects that he is actually an anti-social personality tamed by society, and the 32 days without society let his inner beast out of the cage.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain that he just killed a person because he didn't want to take a little risk.

He doesn't want to admit that his essence is a piece of trash who can do anything for money, but the normal world never gave him a chance.

When Xu Junbin returned to the normal world in July, he immediately relayed to Fang Jia the contents of some documents he found on Jian Xuming's desk. Although these documents were not important secrets, they were not accessible to ordinary people.

After Fang Jia passed some verification methods, she finally believed in Xu Junbin and brought him to supervisor Pete.

Pete has been under constant pressure from the parent company. Facing the huge market in Huaguo, he can only watch the cake being divided by others, and becomes increasingly anxious. The appearance of Xu Junbin makes him see the light.

Although what Xu Junbin said was exactly the same as the reality, the sparsely populated 32nd and the sudden death of his old opponent Jian Xuming was not accidentally killed by him on the 32nd, which made Pete feel that this person was crazy, but Xu Junbin vowed that he could wait for him to get the secret Pay later, which made Pete willing to give it a try. After all, even if he was cheated, he would have nothing to lose.

But Pete didn't expect that Xu Junbin didn't bring any confidential information on August [-]st, and instead asked their company to closely protect him.

"Like I said, they have a laboratory in the South Railway branch. I was almost able to get in, but someone blew it up first! That's definitely a person with simple technology!" Xu Junbin yelled in front of Pete, "I almost killed him! But no, no! At twelve o'clock, he is still alive, and he can live for a month. If he finds me and kills me this month, he can live for decades! He will definitely not be willing to die, he will definitely come to harm me, I am not imagining it! You have to let me live well, and only by living can I bring you value that you will never imagine."

"Could it be that Xu Junbin is dead, and you will be safe and sound?" Jian Cheng's face turned slightly pale after hearing Yi Alan's words, but his tone was very certain.

Yi Alan's body trembled and he was speechless.He was caught in the vortex of morality and survival. Of course he didn't want to die, but it was so difficult to take the initiative to kill someone.

Jian Cheng said: "Give me Xu Junbin's identity information, and I will send someone to look for him, and I will definitely find him."

"Murder violates the law." Yi Alan whispered, as if afraid of being overheard.

Jian Cheng said, "I will find a way."

He said it lightly, possibly masking it with money or power.

Yi Alan shook her head subconsciously.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jian Cheng looked into Yi Alan's eyes and asked, his stern gaze was full of oppression, which made people believe that he could indeed be the chairman of a large company.

Yi Alan is at a loss, this kind of confusion has been with him since he returned to the normal world, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Alan, don't be too kind." Jian Cheng said meaningfully, "I regret that I can't go to the 32nd with you, but I am qualified to tell you that it is a world where kindness cannot survive. It is very bad. .

"This time I got you in trouble, no matter what, I will help you settle it, even if I go to prison, at least you have to live well.

"But in the future, you have to learn to be cruel."
