When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

Zhang Luotuo thought of Qiao De's fingers gently touching his face.It was cold and very gentle.He drove the spaceship, couldn't help trembling slightly, and took a peek at Joad.

They didn't say a word after boarding the spaceship, they just looked forward in silence.

Maybe it was tiredness, maybe it was the fingers that touched his face before they knocked on the door, which put them in an awkward and delicate atmosphere.

Waves of exhaustion poured into Zhang Luotuo's body like anesthetic.During this period, the blue frame of the navigator flashed several times. Ah Mei wanted to talk to him, but he dared not speak because of the silence.Joad kept staring at the front window, where the raindrops were falling on the windows of the ship, watching the wipers smash them in half, without saying a word.

Zhang Luotuo coughed and said unnaturally: "You are not in the company these days, they are all saying that you are busy."

Joad turned his head back, cleared his throat unnaturally, and moved on the seat: "I...was in a bad state for a few days, and I asked the company to give me a vacation." He explained coldly, But he sounded hesitant.

The atmosphere is a bit awkward.They hadn't seen each other since that night until they resumed their conversation a few hours ago.Although Zhang Luotuo can't remember the specific date value-his memory is more vivid, those days or nights, without Joad, there are a lot of blanks.

They chatted about the company and the holidays, and said something casual.Those topics are all in the safe zone, but each time the topic is more relaxed and intimate than the last time, they used these irrelevant topics to climb rocks to make up for their incompleteness of the past ten days.They both sniffed the source in the air, its fragments hidden in every topic, and they picked up the fragments, approached each other, and carefully built the invisible connection between their conversations, like a bridge, or a port.They test, then take the next step slowly, dispelling the embarrassment and embarrassment little by little.

Ten minutes later, although there was still some embarrassment, the heaviness slowly dissipated in the air.

Zhang Luotuo answered a question from Joad while making the spaceship turn left.His heartbeat gradually stabilized during these conversations, and he no longer felt the inescapable panic.

Joad said something as sarcastic as ever.Zhang Luotuo couldn't help but smile nostalgicly as he listened. He hadn't heard Joad say that for a long time, and he turned his head to answer.Then he saw that Joad was tilting his head, looking at him, maybe not looking at him, because Joad's eyes fell on his lips.He was looking at the smile of a camel.He noticed that Zhang Luotuo turned his head, but he didn't look away.In the city night scene, his face is dominated by pure white pixels that occasionally flash past billboards.

The corners of his lips were also raised slightly, although it was very slight, it only flashed for a moment under the light of the pure white pixels, and disappeared in the next second.They flew past the blinding billboards, and the spaceship was once again shrouded in darkness.His face became cold and pale again.

The spacecraft eventually docked at a temporary port in Jiulongpo.Joad took off his seat belt and prepared to get off the spaceship.

"Goodbye." Zhang Luotuo said, he thought for a while, and then said, "See you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Joad nodded at him and opened the door of the spaceship: "Goodbye." He said.The sound is so faint that it can barely be heard.

They stared for a long time, then Joad turned away.

Zhang Luotuo watched Qiao De go away, and he pulled the engine and started the spaceship until he disappeared in the streets of Jiulongpo.Now that he could go home, a long-lost sense of fatigue swept over him.He looked at the beating time.At two forty on Sunday morning, he barely recognized it.He blinked and realized that the blurred numbers were because the blue frame of the artificial navigator was blinking eagerly.

Zhang Luotuo asked suspiciously: "A Mei, what's wrong?" Ah Mei's state was a little unstable tonight, which program of the software was wrong?

Ah Coal made a muttering sound, as if to squeeze out the meth from his throat: "Is that idiot boss your boyfriend?"

Zhang Luotuo was startled, the spaceship lost control under his hands, and it slid down in an instant, the blue frame of the navigator began to flash rapidly.

"Be careful!" Ah Mei warned. "Quick control!" Zhang Luotuo held the steering wheel and pressed the button, and the spaceship returned to calm after a burst of turmoil.

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Luotuo cleared his throat and asked dryly after seeing the spaceship out of danger.

Ah Coal's voice echoed in the spaceship, because of the emergency just now, its voice fluctuated loudly and softly: "I don't know." It said frankly, its tone was very confused, far from its usual tone of knowing everything .

"My program seems to have automatically told me this fact. Then he didn't?" It obviously noticed Zhang Luotuo's tone.

Zhang Luotuo nodded curtly at it.He felt guilty for no reason, even though he wasn't lying.Joad's face floated into his mind.That smile, glowing against the white pixels.

After Zhang Luotuo returned to the apartment, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep before he had time to wash up.He slept soundly and woke up at twelve noon.The alarm clock went off three times, and Momo persistently danced wildly on his belly, trying to wake him up.He gently grabbed it to one side and sat up sleepily from the bed.His back was aching, and even though he wasn't drinking, a hangover roiled his head.He thumped his shoulders, ready to wash up, and then eat something casually.

He walked into the living room and found that the phone was flashing red, indicating an incoming call reminder.He pressed the button to answer the message.There seem to be two.One was from the company, sent to him by a colleague, reminding him to bring repair tools on Monday.There is another one from Zheng Zheng, Zhang Luotuo pressed her.

Zheng Zheng's voice sounded like in memory: "Hi, Camel. I was hungover last night. Thank you for sending me back. Can you call me when you wake up? I have something to tell you." Then the message ends.Her voice was a little hoarse, probably from a cold, but she sounded energetic.

Zhang Luotuo sighed, he rubbed his hair, he felt a headache, and recalled the events of last night one by one.

He hesitated to press the call back button.Even if Zheng Zheng didn't call him, he would call him. He had many questions to ask her, such as what happened between her and Lu Xing.

"D-526 robot, the best helper at home." The female voice on the phone was extremely cold, she was promoting a certain product, and the hazy and tasteless music was repeated over and over again.Advertisements always occupy various places that can be reached, and Zhang Luotuo has become accustomed to it.

A few seconds later, the mechanical female voice disappeared, and was replaced by a hazy blank: "Hello—" the vague voice sounded like he was drinking something.

"Zheng Zheng, I'm Zhang Luotuo." Zhang Luotuo said, "It sounds like your hangover is almost gone."

Zheng Zheng laughed awkwardly on the other end. Zhang Luotuo hadn't heard her laugh like this for a long time: "You saw me drunk. I rarely drink like that, I swear."

"Do you still have memory?" Zhang Luotuo said, he grabbed the water glass on the table, there was still water in it, and he took it at some point, he took a sip and frowned.

"A little bit... I'm still conscious. It's my principle not to drink the fragments, but I fell asleep after you came." She said, sighing.

Zhang Luotuo thought about it, thinking about how to ask Zheng Zheng and Lu Xing about it.He wanted to wrap it up a bit, to make the question seem appropriate.

"Camel." Zheng Zheng suddenly said on the other end of the phone, her voice was very serious, and her smile subsided. "I need to know one thing, about you." She said, seeming to have thought about it for a long time, and hesitated to say the question.

"What?" Zhang Luotuo put down the water glass and said a little confused.

Zheng Zheng considered his vocabulary, as if he wanted to soften the question: "You know, although I fell asleep after you came, I woke up once later, on your spaceship. After waking up, I found that I was in the back cabin. I feel very strange, because usually you will let me take the front cabin, not the back cabin, and even Ashiyuki was with us - he slept soundly next to me, which surprised me. I didn't know at the time Are you dreaming, or in fact, you didn't come to pick me up, it was another person who came to pick me up, I just had hallucinations."

She seemed to hold the microphone tightly, and the sound of her voice was amplified: "Then I glanced at the front cabin. I saw you sitting on the seat, and there was someone beside you. Because I was too sleepy. I fell asleep right away. After that I didn't know about it until I woke up this morning." She hesitated, as if she was holding some clue that she wasn't sure about.

"Although I only glanced at that person, I'm not sure, but my memory is usually correct." She said, as if giving Zhang Luotuo a hint.

Zhang Luotuo understood, he shut his mouth in embarrassment, and did not answer Zheng Zheng's words.

Zheng Zheng still asked: "...Is he Qiao De?"

Zhang Luotuo's heart tightened. He didn't expect that in just a moment, his and Zheng Zheng's positions would be reversed. He originally wanted to question her, but now it was her who questioned him.Maybe he can question Zheng Zheng about Lu Xing and change the topic, but he knows that even so, he will inevitably explain everything to Zheng Zheng.

He simply gave up his resistance: "Yes."

He paused and tried to explain, "Because he came to pick up Lu Xing, he didn't come with a spaceship."

Zheng Zheng has always been very smart, she pierced him keenly: "But Qiao De is not the kind of person who forgets the spaceship and will take our spaceship.

She immediately grasped a possibility, and said to the point: "Could you have known each other before?"

"I didn't..." Zhang Luotuo said, trying to interrupt her thinking, but maybe it was too late, Zheng Zheng searched for clues in the memories and grabbed what she wanted.

"Is it..." Zheng Zheng was silent for a while, and lowered her voice, she sounded suddenly enlightened, as if she had solved some puzzle, "I remembered, when you were admitted to the hospital when you were allergic, someone called I, told me to take care of you, is that him?"

Zhang Luotuo was speechless, he didn't expect Zheng Zheng to go straight in and guess the correct answer directly.

Zheng Zheng knew him very well, she always knew what caused Zhang Luotuo's silence.

"Really?" she said, giggling, a little surprised, maybe she didn't expect that she would hit the first blow, "Actually, I guessed it before, but I didn't ask you. You made new friends, but you didn't want to Tell me who it is, but you're usually honest with me, and you hardly hide anything. I guessed that your friends might be people I hate. Like the management department. If it's Joad, it's also possible."

"What about you? How did you know Lu Xing—" Zhang Luotuo couldn't help but said, he finally found the edge of interrupting, he interrupted Zheng Zheng, he couldn't be the only one being interrogated tonight.He remembered the conversation between Lu Xing and Zheng Zheng in the bar last night, they were absolutely familiar, Zhang Luotuo could feel it.

Suddenly there was only the sound of stabbing electricity on Zheng Zheng's side, and her breath sprayed gently on the phone receiver. She thought for a while, maybe she didn't know how to respond to Zhang Luotuo's question.After a while, she said hesitantly, "Do you still remember Li Xiangxiang? That impersonator star?"

Zhang Luotuo was stunned. He stopped picking out the drawings pasted on the water glass, and gripped the microphone tightly.He didn't expect her to say Li Xiangxiang's name frankly. No matter how hard he tried to beat before, it was useless: "Remember. She asked me to say hello to you." That face flashed in his mind.An East Asian girl with black eyes like glass marbles.Li Xiangxiang.One day Zheng Zheng would take the initiative to mention her.

Zheng Zheng seemed to put something down there, and Zhang Luotuo heard the sound of drinking water: "I know Lu Xing, and I have a relationship with her, but it is mainly related to myself." She said, slowly, " I was part of a program to train her before, I told you. I had access to her. And then...she caused me some confusion."

Zhang Luotuo knew this, he had already heard the story from Li Xiangxiang.Li Xiangxiang learned to think, which made Zheng Zheng panic, but he still listened to Zheng Zheng without saying a word.

Zheng Zheng continued, sounding a little hesitant: "I can't tell you what the confusion is, maybe one day I don't care anymore, or I will finally answer it and I will tell you. In short... then the confusion is like a fuse, Caused me another confusion, a thought. Then thought after thought, I became aware of them with incredible clarity. I can't articulate that thought to you now, because I don't know it myself. Finally these thoughts are like Connecting together like a network of nodes, forming another crazy idea. My whole body started to become chaotic."

Her voice suddenly became quieter, and then returned to normal, as if she had switched hands to hold the microphone: "Once, I finally couldn't help the confusion at Li Xiangxiang's planning meeting, and I broke down and lost my temper. People thought I was under a lot of pressure, but only one person realized that something was wrong with me, and that was Lu Xing. He was the person in charge of Li Xiangxiang's building project. We chatted in private. Then we were surprised to find that we were very similar, from In a way, he and I felt sorry for each other. After that, we gradually became acquainted, friends. But the real closeness was a while ago—you know?"

Some time ago.Zhang Luotuo knew which days Zheng Zheng was talking about—she didn’t come to the company, and the phone calls were often unanswered. Zhang Luotuo’s worries at that time were stronger than others. Zheng Zheng seemed to be walking towards an unknown place, and he couldn’t stop it. Couldn't even communicate.

Zheng Zheng's voice stopped on the other end of the phone: "I was in a mess during those days, you know. I didn't go to the company much, if it wasn't for him to help me approve the leave, I would be fired by the supervisor now .He often came to see me, we talked a lot, often stayed together, drinking and so on.” When she said this, she hesitated for some reason, “Yesterday...we got together as usual. That's basically it."

"Apart from the bar yesterday, where did you go...?" Zhang Luotuo couldn't help asking.

Zheng Zheng said puzzledly: "Why do you say that?" She sounded a little dazed.

"Lu Xing mentioned that you went to a place called Nanqiang." Zhang Luotuo said.

There was a brief silence on the other end, but immediately Zheng Zheng's voice sounded as if nothing had happened: "I don't know, maybe he was talking nonsense when he was drunk."

Zhang Luotuo recalled Lu Xing's state after drinking, he was almost talking nonsense, if he and Qiao De didn't help him, he would fall to the ground.He hummed from his throat.

The topic of Zheng Zheng and Lu Xing seemed to be over.Zheng Zheng opened a piece of chewing gum on the other end, and then chewed: "I can go to work tomorrow, Monday. My supervisor is probably going crazy after taking such a long break." Her voice was hoarse, and she paused, "By the way , let's continue."

When Zhang Luotuo came back to his senses, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Let's go back to that topic—are you and Qiao De good friends? How good are you?" Zheng Zheng said, and Zhang Luotuo's premonition had been experienced.

"What?" Zhang Luotuo could only pretend to be stupid, "Maomao, don't move." He heard a noise, raised his head, and Maomao flew over from the bedroom and hit him on the top of his head, and he grabbed it into his arms painfully inside.

Zheng Zheng's laughter sounded in the confined space: "Don't hide."

She smiled for a long time: "Are you a good friend?"

Zhang Luotuo knew that he couldn't escape, Zheng Zheng had already grasped the key words, he hugged Mao Mao tightly, looked around for a long time, and then said vaguely: "Maybe, maybe not..." After a long time, he was at a loss Said, "I don't know either."

"Why do you say that?" Zheng Zheng said casually, the sound of drinking water came from the other side, she has always been interested in the topic of interpersonal relationship.

"Huh?" Zhang Luotuo was stunned for a moment, Zheng Zheng's words made him dazed for a while.

"I...and him." He unknowingly said the words he had held back for a long time, "He hid something from me, and I only found out half a month ago." He said these words in one breath, feeling awkwardly. Touching his head, he never mentioned it to anyone. For the past half month, he could only keep the words in his heart and watch those video tapes by himself.Now Zheng Zheng is back.He breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not surprising, that's basically how friendships break up." Zheng Zheng commented on the other end, her tone was a bit disdainful, she still didn't like Qiao De.Then her tone became curious, "Then you last night—?"

Zhang Luotuo thought for a while: "It's reconciled, but..." He remembered the conversation between Joad and him last night. Joad told all the things that he had concealed from him, but not all of them. One thing, let it float away like a feather. "I can't tell you about the reason for the monitoring by the management department." He remembered Joad saying this.

These words are still lingering in his heart.

Why on earth was the administration spying on him?He couldn't figure it out.

"But he still hasn't fully explained it to me. He's hiding something." He said thoughtfully.hide.As he thought of the word, his mind wandered.Why is the management monitoring him?He thought of the management department, that mysterious and gloomy building, the 79th floor, which he had no interest in and had never been there.

Zheng Zheng snorted from his nostrils: "It's quite like his style."

"Zheng Zheng." Zhang Luotuo said, hesitating, "Have you ever heard that the management department has any plans to monitor or detect employees?"

Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment because of his question: "Probably not, I don't think they will be willing to spend money on us, they are tired enough to do scientific research. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Luotuo said vaguely, "I'm just asking." He chewed on Zheng Zheng's words.

Zheng Zheng heard his confusion, she spit out gum, and tore open a bag of bread, Zhang Luotuo heard the rustle of the bag.She took a bite of the bread and said casually, "If it's related to the management department, why don't you check it yourself? Anyway, our company is right in front of you, and we won't go anywhere."

Zhang Luotuo was taken aback by Zheng Zheng's words: "What?" He said instinctively.

"I mean you can check it yourself. If it is related to the management department, then the management department must have relevant data recorded on the computer. Maybe it is on the computer in Joad's office. He is the head of the management department. Anything It will all be gathered in his hands." Zheng Zheng repeated it patiently.

Zhang Luotuo leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, feeling his throat dry.

"It's easy to say." He said dryly to Zheng Zheng.

Zhang Luotuo guessed that if Zheng Zheng shook his head and sighed in front of him, in fact he did hear the sigh coming from the microphone: "The management department is not as mysterious as you think, although I thought so before. But it is ten at most. One floor in a company—the 79th floor. I have been there several times, and Lu Xing, the first time I went, it was beyond my expectations. The security there is quite loose. Although there are various monitors or fingerprint recognition, there is no Matching the latest devices, like iris recognition, I guess because people in the management department know each other well. But I think it's easy to sneak in if you really want to. Just copy the fingerprints you need."

"Copy fingerprints?" Zhang Luotuo repeated.

"Copying fingerprints is still a bit difficult for me, but for you, a repair expert, isn't it a piece of cake?" Zheng Zheng was a little surprised as he repeated this sentence.

She thought for a while, and continued to talk endlessly: "As for the time... there is almost no one in the company on Sunday. I worked overtime when I was working on the Li Xiangxiang project, but the whole building seemed to be empty except for the imitation department. Sometimes we went to the restaurant to eat together, and even the imitators were resting, so we had to eat something casually. At night, let alone, all the overtime workers left at that time. I once forgot to pick up something, and I went back to the company to get it. The only sound was my footsteps, and that building was as empty as the Internet at that time."

Zhang Luotuo subconsciously looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall.Sunday.Three o'clock in the afternoon.it shows.

The company was empty on a Sunday night.

Zheng Zheng didn't hear his answer, and waited patiently for a while, but there was still no reply, so she had to talk to herself: "Okay, I'm just talking casually. Maybe it's a bit of a fantasy, if you are very Want to know, let me teach you, you can try to get Joad drunk—”

"Wait." Zhang Luotuo said, dazedly, his mind turned into an unmanaged Internet again, he didn't know what he was doing, he just instinctively stopped her.

"Huh?" Zheng Zheng said in confusion.

A certain idea sneaked into the depths of Zhang Luotuo's mind unconsciously. He paused, and no longer restrained himself: "Do you still remember what the floor of the management department looked like? Can you draw a copy and send it to me?"

Zheng Zheng was silent for a moment.But her voice sounded immediately.

"I'll draw a copy and send it to you right now," she said, very decisively.

Zhang Luotuo's heart was pounding.
