Spy Family

Before leaving the city, the two-wheeled vehicle slowed down without warning, stopped on the roadside after more than ten seconds, and refused to move forward. Chen Manchi was wondering when his ID chip received a call.

"Tiantian City Police informed Chen Manchi, a resident of Zhaiwangxing: You are suspected of robbing other people's property. Please go to the nearest police station for questioning immediately, or stop where you are and wait for the arrival of the police patrol car..."

The ubiquitous chips and networks take good care of everyone and every item. The owner must have been panicked to call the police after so long.

Chen Manchi took out the identity chip from her bracelet, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it several times until no sound could be heard in the earphones. Then she remembered that running around like this, she might miss her husband. .

Go back to the store and wait? Chen slowly hesitated for a while and gave up the plan. She was tired of waiting and had to do something.

She opened her small bag and found a chip inside. It was one of the items Lu Yezhou had hidden in the safe house. Chen slowly put it into the bracelet. The battery began to power the chip. Soon, another message came from the earphones. sound.

"Please confirm gender."

"Female..." Chen Manchi said softly, not sure whether this was an identity chip.

"Please tell me your age."

"About thirty." Chen Manchi didn't want to be too specific.

The voice didn't pay attention and continued: "Are you satisfied with the name 'Zhuo Hailing'? Excellent Zhuo, the sea of ​​the ocean, the spirit of the soul."

"Uh, no problem, satisfied."

"Zhuo Hailing, female, 29 years old, resident of King Zhao, will take a spaceship to King Zhao on October 21st. Is that okay?"

"Of course." Chen slowly said happily.

"Please aim above the shoulder and take a frontal video."

There was a camera device on the bracelet. Chen Manchi took a picture of himself for a few seconds and asked, "Is the picture correct?"

"In ten minutes, the new identity chip will be officially activated. Thank you for using it, and goodbye."

"Goodbye." Chen walked slowly outside the city. She felt that the spy gadget was quite useful. She guessed that there must be several identities stored in the chip and she could activate one of them according to the situation.

That safe house was not just for Lu Yezhou's exclusive use.

"Zhuo Hailing, Zhuo Hailing..." Chen Manchi whispered a dozen times, firmly remembering his new name, and then tried to contact her husband.

Lu Linbei was not within the network service range. Chen Manchi was not surprised by this and left a voice message: "I'm going to find you. Tomorrow...before dark, I will go back to the store to take a look. If you...as soon as possible Contact me. I have a new ID chip now."

Tiantang City is almost a hundred kilometers away from the Baiyun Mine. Walking is too inefficient. Chen Manchi is not good at making prompt decisions. After walking for more than ten minutes, he realized that this was a problem, so he stood on the side of the road for a while, hoping to take a ride. free ride.

But now it is night, and it is a time when rumors of war are rampant. There are no pedestrians in the suburbs, and no vehicles passing by.

Chen Manchi was not afraid of walking. She had walked for a distance of more than 100 kilometers, but it was too time-consuming. After standing there and waiting for five minutes, she finally realized that her new identity could be used to rent a car, but she didn't know what was in it. No money.

She put on the earphones again and checked the account of "Zhuo Hailing" first. The number reported by voice shocked her. Although it was not a huge amount of money, it was enough for a big spender, such as Lu Yezhou, to spend three to five months.

"Why didn't I get this kind of treatment when I was an investigator? It seems that even Lao Bei didn't get this kind of treatment. It's really unfair." Chen Manchi complained softly while placing an order online, and then remembered that her husband didn't work long hours. He has never been promoted to Lu Yezhou's position.

As a tourist city, Paradise City's car rental system is extremely developed. In less than ten minutes, a car will drive up automatically. After verifying the customer's identity, the car door will be opened.

Until Chen Manchi drove out of the city, he did not see a police patrol car. Compared with the developed service industry in Paradise City, the police's response has always been slow, and this has been the case many years ago.

Halfway through, Chen Manchi received a call from Lu Yezhou.

"Sister Manchuan!" Lu Yezhou's voice was almost bursting because of too many emotions.

"Sorry, Ye Zi, I can't wait any longer. Please don't cancel my identity, just think of it as...do me a favor, and I will tell your fortune for free in the future."

"But, I...why don't you use your true identity?"

"Well... the police may have had a little misunderstanding about me. They thought I had snatched someone else's two-wheeler and were following me."

"Oh my god."

"Is there any news about Lao Bei?"

"not yet."

Chen Manchi didn't quite believe what Lu Yezhou said, but he didn't ask any further, "This is my own decision, please don't try to stop me."

Lu Yezhou was silent for a while, "At least tell me where you are going and what you are doing."

"Go to the Baiyun Mine and take a look. Some of the things happening there may arouse Lao Bei's interest."

Lu Yezhou was silent for a while, "Okay, I won't stop you. I can't believe that Sister Manchuan, you actually...did you take away a dagger?"

"Yes, hold it for self-defense."

"It's not just a dagger, it's... forget it, I guess you won't need it either. Remember my words, don't use a dagger. If you have to use it, be careful not to let the end of the handle hit something hard."

"Remember. Thank you, Ye Zi, Lao Bei will also thank you."

"That's what friends are for. I'll explain to the police, have your record expunged, and soon you'll be using your real identity again."

"Uh... I have destroyed the ID chip."

"How big a crime have you committed to deserve destroying your identity chip?"

"It's just a two-wheeled vehicle. I...maybe I'm too nervous." Chen Manchi was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it carefully, there was really no need to crush the chip.

"Okay, you can use the current chip first, but don't change it again. It's best to bring the remaining chips back to me. They are very expensive and it is very troublesome to apply for them."

"Bring it back as it is, no less."

"If you encounter an accident, you must contact me."

"Well, if there is any news about Lao Bei, you must inform me."

"must."

After the call ended, Chen Manchi felt a little more relaxed. At least she was no longer a "fugitive". Not long after, she began to feel anxious again. Lu Yezhou didn't care at all about her going to the Baiyun Mine, indicating that there was no investigation there. value.

Chen Manchi's confidence disappeared little by little, but her personality had always been calm, slow to make decisions and even slower to change decisions. Finally, she regained her confidence little by little and said to herself: "Someone must have been to places worth investigating. I You should go to a place that Ye Zi and the others don't pay attention to, maybe there will be unexpected surprises, and even if not, it's better than sitting in the room."

She stopped thinking and focused on driving.

There were very few vehicles on the road, so Chen Manchi could drive at the fastest speed and arrived at the Baiyun Mine in less than forty minutes.

The mine gate has been torn down, and the road is covered with wheel marks and various debris, indicating that a large number of people passed here not long ago.

The mine road was built along the mountain, with turns every ten meters, and there were no street lights. Chen slowly slowed down the car and went deeper into the mine. He gradually felt a little panicked, so he locked the car door to increase his sense of security.

Twenty minutes later, his vision suddenly opened up, and Chen Manchi came to the residential area of ​​the mine. It was once home to thousands of people, but now there are only empty houses left, in disrepair, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain.

The wanderers must have stayed here. There are still tents left by them in the open space, but there are no people or lights. They have moved their positions.

Chen Manchi stopped the car to observe, and was hesitating whether to continue deeper into the mine, when a scream suddenly sounded not far away.

Chen Manchi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly grabbed the small bag and took out the dagger from it. He felt that it was better to turn around and escape, so he dropped the dagger and prepared to drive.

After making a U-turn, Chen Manchi parked the car again. She remembered that she was here to find her husband's whereabouts. The screams were at least a clue. If she gave up like this, her trip would be in vain.

She spent thirty seconds to cheer herself up, then picked up the dagger, pushed open the car door resolutely, and strode towards the place where the scream came from.

The screams had stopped and turned into a constant hum.

After walking around a house, Chen slowly saw a tent with lights on, and the sound became more obvious, like someone's groan after being injured.

Chen slowly lost his fear and ran over quickly.

The curtain of the tent was opened, and a small lamp was lit inside, illuminating three male homeless people lying on the ground.

The three of them were all young, looking less than twenty years old, which reminded Chen Manchi of himself back then. There were many teenagers among the wanderers, most of whom were interstellar orphans. They couldn't stand the surrounding environment and would rather choose to live a wandering life.

There were no injuries on their bodies, but they were all huddled together, shivering as if enduring the extreme cold, refusing to block the door or move into a more sheltered place.

"Hey, are you sick? Where are the others?" Chen slowly asked.

A young homeless man raised his eyes and looked over, and after a while he trembled: "We are trash."

"No one is trash."

"Others are not, they can accept it, but we can't, we are always resisting, we are waste."

"What to settle in?" Chen Manchi didn't understand at all, but he noticed that there were some electronic instruments in the tent, which were obviously not things that homeless people could use.

"The fusion program, we cannot accept the fusion program. We have tried it countless times. Others have succeeded, but we are the only ones who cannot. Why? Why is this?"

"Maybe...maybe it's a problem with the equipment."

"Everyone has the same equipment, but we are the only ones who can't..."

The three teenagers were shaking even more seriously.

"Keep trying, and you will definitely succeed. Everyone succeeds after trying many times." Another teenager said.

Several instruments began to flash red lights, and the three teenagers screamed one after another.

Chen Manchi hurriedly exited, roughly understanding that they were undergoing brain modification, which reminded her of some extremely uncomfortable past events.

Unable to help, she turned and ran toward the vehicle, only to return a few steps later to ask where the others had gone.

In the tent, two teenagers were still curled up, but the other one sat up, with beads of sweat on his face, looking a little dazed and a little excited, looking at his hands as if they had just grown.

"Hey, where did the others go?" Chen slowly asked.

The young man looked up at her and suddenly smiled. He stood up with his hands on the ground and staggered, "Is this Zhao Wangxing?"

Chen Manchi was stunned, "Yes."

The boy said a curse word and said with a smile: "Success, I finally came over, I thought I had no chance. This once-in-a-lifetime gaming event finally caught up with me. Who are you? A player or a character? Tell me Where is Paradise City, I want to have a good time!"

Chen Manchi's hair suddenly stood on end. She already understood what was going on.

Someone from another planet "settled" in the body of a homeless boy and wanted to play the most realistic game on King Zhao.
