When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

At 58:[-], Zhang Luotuo installed the head of the last toy, heaved a sigh of relief, and began to pack his things.He didn't bring much.He put his things in the bag and was about to go downstairs to find Joad on the eleventh floor. There was a cafe with few people there.He remembered Zheng Zheng's words in his mind, "Domineering." As he thought about it, he walked towards the elevator. When the elevator opened, he pressed the button for the eleventh floor and looked out the window.

Neon billboards mixed with Chinese and Korean, heavy rain, endless spaceships and dome-like buildings, the advertising spaceship shows: Model 5350 toy production is successful!

Zheng Zheng hated Qiao De, and Zhang Luotuo understood that, in fact, he felt that few people in the company would like Qiao De.Qiao De came to the company one year and fifteen days ago. Zhang Luotuo remembered clearly that the toy model 999 had just been produced that day. only toys.

During leisure time, the company is very lively, some people are playing with toys, some people are talking about yesterday's TV, at this moment, the general manager of the company came in, interrupted the laughter and said that he would announce something.Everyone knows the fact that the company's management team is about to retire en masse.

Zheng Zhenghe muttered about the unfairness of it. The management department only needs to work for four years to retire and receive a lifetime salary.In the past two months, because the management department is about to resign, they have become absent-minded, regardless of company affairs, and they drink and party in various bars in Yuzhong District during work hours.

Zhang Luotuo thought it was possible, because the people in the management department always seemed to have lost eyesight recently, like a scrapped X-965 robot.Therefore, the representatives of the management department announced their resignation with red faces, and when someone would succeed them, everyone just applauded perfunctorily, and there was no big reaction.

With a wave of his hand, he introduced to everyone the team management department who replaced him. The first person standing was Qiao De, a tall man with a high nose bridge and thin lips, with an arrogant expression and gray eyes that did not look at anyone. .

Jiulongba is located in the downtown area of ​​Chongqing. It is a wealthy community. There is an electronic network gate at the entrance, which separates it from the outside world. Spaceships without a pass cannot pass through. The inside is as silent as the night, and the rich wander in it like fireflies. Countless.

... The elevator opened, there were not many people in the cafe, and the music was playing quietly. Zhang Luotuo, holding his bag, walked to the seat closest to the elevator and sat down. He didn't have much money.The imitation man came over and asked him, "Excuse me, what do you want to eat?"

Zhang Luotuo smiled at her friendlyly: "Just a glass of juice, I'm waiting for someone." The imitator nodded and walked away.

Because Qiao De looked like he was from Jiulongba, everyone was afraid of him at first, which is human inertia.But soon the fear disappeared.Joad is arrogant and contemptuous of everyone except his management department.Someone once took the initiative to talk to him and expressed friendship, but Joad just gave him a blank look, like looking at the pile of broken copper and iron in a slum, and then he walked over as if nothing had happened, as if he had never been talked to.

He never went to the restaurant on the 29th floor to eat. Whenever the management department came to the restaurant because of something, he would close his lips tightly, as if the spirit was poured into his mouth.Of course not only him, but the entire management department. Sometimes the management department even whispered. Zhang Luotuo heard them say: "That group of people and us..." They called other departments "that group of people", while the management department The first one is "we", and the rest of them put on expressions of approval.They never looked sideways when they walked, just like Zhao Yi just now.

Maybe only Lu Xing is an exception, he is the only friendly person in the management department, he will take the initiative to talk to people in other departments, talk about the weather in Chongqing, new games and so on, but that's all, he also has The invisible diaphragm unique to the management department, everyone knows they can't go any further.

Zhang Luotuo also didn't like Qiao De, but he didn't meet Qiao De at first, he heard everything about Qiao De, Qiao De worked on the 76th floor, he was on the 48th floor.Most of the time, Zhang Luotuo is lost in the pile of toys, such as penguins, sparkling glass balls, and faux fur for teddy bears.He can repair things, some are unwanted by others, and some are begged him to repair. Zhang Luotuo is very good at repairing things, and he is easy to talk to. He never refuses others' requests for help.He loves to fix things and is as patient as a camel in the desert.Everything he repairs will look new, even the discarded unwanted things will look new after repair, as if they just came out of the oven.

Zhang Luotuo polished them shiny, arranged them neatly, and put them on the work table, waiting for the owner to claim them or someone who likes them to take them away.If not, just keep putting it down and keep him company.

Everything seems to be peaceful, but Zhang Luotuo's impression of Joad is nothing more than that. After all, his whole life is toys and maps.Until Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo had a conflict.

That conflict was accidental and strange.That was a few months ago.

The weather was as usual that day, cloudy and light rain, the glass was washed by the rain, and it was blue and shiny. It was 10 minutes before get off work, the street lights on the street were turned on, and the virtual image of the advertisement was floating in the air.Zhang Luotuo had just finished repairing a glass, put it on the table, and went to the imitation assistant to ask for a cup of coffee.

As he walked back, he heard a crackling sound.He walked over quickly and saw the glass he had just repaired fell to the ground and shattered like large ice cubes.The glass was speckled with a dark red liquid that smelt of bitter almonds.

Three seconds later, Zhang Luotuo realized what it was.

He goes around the table.A man collapsed at his desk, motionless, with a chunk of his wrist broken, breathing weakly.

"Are you okay?" He immediately squatted down and asked in a low voice.

The man opened his eyes and looked at him, his mouth opened, and his strength was running low.Zhang Luotuo knew him, he was an employee of the advertising department, his name was Zeng Lin, and he had been in the company for three years.His shoulder was wet, and there was more blood flowing from it than in the violent movies Zhang Luotuo had watched, and Zhang Luotuo smelled that bitter almond.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to make a medical call."

Zhang Luotuo's head was a little dizzy, he didn't understand what was going on, but he tried his best to keep calm.He walked to the table, picked up the phone, and prepared to dial a number.

However, before he had time to press the first number "3", footsteps came from the door

.Zhang Luotuo raised his head.The leader was a young man, wearing the uniform of the management department, his back was wet, and water was dripping on his neck.Behind them were the people from the security department, they were out of breath, as if they had just run a race.The young man's face was shrouded in bright light, and Zhang Luotuo saw his face—pale and thin, like a frozen specimen in a museum.

He remembered that it was Qiao De, whom Zhang Luotuo had seen in the company's photo column.Qiao De didn't notice Zhang Luotuo, he stood calmly, looking at Zeng Lin who was lying on the ground, his gray eyes were flickering.

"Here he is," he said, waving his hand.

People from the security department came up. They all wore black suits, and their leather shoes stepped on the ground, which smelled like excrement.Then they squatted down, moving in unison.At first Zhang Luotuo thought they were observing Zeng Lin's injuries, but three seconds later, they grabbed Zeng Lin's arms and legs, dragged him up like an animal, and walked towards the door.Zeng Lin's leather shoes collapsed on the floor, making a "magnetic" sound due to friction, dragging a colorless rain line.

"What's going on? Are you taking him to the infirmary?" Zhang Luotuo's heart was pounding, he put down the phone, his mind was in a mess.The people from the security department looked up at him, but didn't speak.They continued to drag Zeng Lin forward.Zhang Luotuo felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, his shoulder is still bleeding." He moved the chair, frowned, and walked there, "I can help with treatment."

The rain-soaked suit suddenly magnified in front of him, and Zhang Luotuo could see the fibers on it.A forest smell enveloped him for no reason, suffocating him.Zhang Luotuo raised his head, and Qiao De stood between him and the security department.

"Mind your own business." Joad's gray eyes were cold. "Either you'll be next," he said, in a melodramatic, irrelevant tone.

"Where are you taking him?" Zhang Luotuo asked. He poked his head out to look at Zeng Lin, but the people from the security department blocked his view, and he could only see Zeng Lin's feet.It was far away from him now, halfway into the elevator.

Joad's hands were hanging in his trouser pockets, he thought for a long time, lowered his eyes, stared at Zhang Luotuo, and replied lazily: "Infirmary."

To this day, Zhang Luotuo still remembers that scene. The security department walked in the corridor without hindrance, as if entering no man's land.The usually noisy corridor is empty, and the rain is loud, separating the corridor and the office.Zhang Luotuo couldn't take a step forward, and Qiao De stood in front of him, preventing him from moving, and he didn't leave until the security department disappeared in the elevator.Before leaving, he looked back at Zhang Luotuo, the indifference in his eyes was self-evident.The blood had clotted on the floor, and it looked like a long-extinct stuffed insect.

Zhang Luotuo raised his head, the lights were on in every office, he saw countless pairs of eyes, but no one dared to take a step, they just breathed and remained silent.When Joad disappeared at the end of the corridor, those eyes were extinguished in the brightness without making any sound.

That night, Zheng Zheng called Zhang Luotuo, saying that she had heard about it.

What happened?Zhang Luotuo asked her.Zheng Zheng opened a can over there, saying that because Qiao De wanted to fire Zeng Lin, the two had a conflict, and then Qiao De called the security department, and they beat him up.Zheng Zheng was on the phone and said that Qiao De wanted to establish an authority and give the whole company a blow.

Zhang Luotuo was silent for a while, then shook his head, he said, I don't like him, really.
