Abyss Express

At the strong request of Chief Nanami, the two put their canes back into the brocade box.

Jiang Xueming could only bring one bottle of air-conditioning refrigerant, Bu Liuxing could only bring at most two boxes of egg tarts, and he was not allowed to go out without the order of the chief.

The two had to be obedient - because all the ammunition was in the hands of Chief Nanami, if they were not obedient, they would not be given bullets.

They followed Chief Nanami to Room 505 on the fifth floor, keeping absolutely silent all the way.

Until Chief Nanami knocked on the door of the living room, she said to Jiang Xueming in Chinese: "Next, you work, start."

Xueming walked through the door and looked around. The person who opened the door was a woman in her thirties, Caucasian, with orange-red hair, and casual attire.

The lady can speak Chinese and has a northern accent.

"Where did you two come from?"

Jiang Xueming responded casually, "He came from the station."

Bu Meteor followed immediately, and felt very friendly when he heard Chinese, with a familiar attitude: "Boss has arranged work, why don't you just come!~"

The wife went to the kitchen and ordered as she walked, "Ah. Then come in and sit casually. There is no tea at home. Why don't I go and boil some water, so you can play with my baby for a while?"

"Okay, then..." Jiang Xueming was about to say something polite.

Chief Nanami threw two thermos bottles from the gate. Throw it into the hands of the two passengers.

She made silent lips——

"—No, drink, house, water"

Jiang Xueming just remembered that the target of the investigation this time also included the water tower in District B15. It is estimated that there is something wrong with the tap water system, and Chief Nanami must be so cautious.

"You don't need to trouble yourself! We brought water!" Bu Liuxing started to yell after receiving the thermos: "It's a family when we enter the door! ~ Why are we so polite!"

"That won't work, you drink yours, and I'll prepare mine." The wife was still busy at the other end of the kitchen counter, as if she was cleaning up the dishes that didn't exist at all, "There are guests coming."

Speaking of this, the woman turned her head and stared blankly at the entrance from the back of the kitchen, her eyes became lifeless: "There are guests coming, how can I be idle?"

All of a sudden, Bu Meteor's cold sweat broke out. Without waiting for him to stop longer——Jiang Xueming pulled Ah Xing's sleeve and dragged him to the living room.

The two walked out of the entrance and saw the family's child sitting in front of the TV.

It was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, with the same orange-red hair as his mother, but lighter.

The little guy sat on the shabby carpet, staring at the TV--but the TV was broken long ago, there was no picture, only darkness.

Jiang Xueming had no intention of disturbing these "desperadoes" who remained in the world, but just found a place to sit down, took out his mobile phone and turned on the video recording function, held his hands steady, and took a picture of this weird family.

Another call came from the kitchen.

cried the wife to her son.

"Baby! Play with the two big brothers for a while, don't always watch TV, you will make people look stupid!"

"Okay" The little guy didn't have much energy, and reluctantly ran to the TV that was already on strike, and pressed the power button.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the two passengers, his eyes wandering, and finally ran to Ah Xing, and found an empty wooden box under the coffee table.

"Brother, shall we play chess?"

"Play chess?" Bu Meteor looked at the empty wooden box suspiciously—there was no chess inside, except for some dry and cracked textures.

The little guy took something out of the empty box, as if holding an invisible chess piece in his hand.

"That's it, Xiangqi. You are Chinese, so you don't even know how to play chess?"

Ah Xing had no idea, so he had to ask Xueming for help, "Brother Ming, what should I do?"

Xue Ming's attitude was very firm: "Reject."

If you can't see any suspicious things, just refuse them directly. Before, Chief Nanami seemed to have agreed to the cleaning staff's request to bring the broom back for others. If she didn't, it seemed that there would be no good results.

Ah Xing had no choice but to apologize with a smile: "I'm sorry. I can't play chess with you, little brother."

"Enrico! You call me Enrique! We all have this name! Don't treat me like a child." The little guy immediately became unhappy, "You don't like Chinese chess, so can you play chess with me?"

Before Ah Xing refused.

Jiang Xueming immediately asked: "Why play chess? Enrique."

"My mother wants me to play with you." Enrique showed an innocent and happy expression: "Our family came here to make friends with chess and learn Chinese. Could it be that"

The kid glanced at Bu Meteor with a mocking tone in his tone.

"This brother, can't you play chess? Have you never learned it? I can teach you!~"

Then he glanced at Jiang Xueming again.

"Big brother, don't you know how to play chess? I'm afraid we don't have anything else to play at home. How about I turn on the TV and let's watch TV together?"

"Who said I won't do it anymore. This stinky brat actually looks down on me." Bu Liuxing gritted his teeth, and asked Xueming to pull him back to sit on the dirty sofa.

Jiang Xueming didn't say anything, just carefully observed the interior decoration, and there was a desk calendar with the date of December 31, 1990.

It seems that the time of this family building has stopped on this day forever.

The child named Enrique in front of him may be their uncle at his real age.

"You don't need to be so polite, just follow your usual living habits, just pretend that we don't exist." Jiang Xueming held the thermos with one hand, and tightly held the suitcase with the other.

It was the "bait bullet" prepared by Chief Nanami for the two of them. In any case, Jiang Xueming would throw it out immediately, and then took out the gun from the plastic cloak.

He thought carefully, and there were 150 rounds of P90 ammunition on his body, so it shouldn't be a big problem to immobilize the mother and child—as long as the 5.77mm submachine gun bullets can break the limbs of these [Desperadoes].

When the kid Enrique heard Jiang Xueming's answer, he seemed to be relieved. Finally, he didn't have to work hard in front of his brothers. He ran back to the TV and turned on the power, then sat on the carpet and continued watching TV programs.

In less than a minute, the hostess immediately issued a furious order from the kitchen.

"Little baby! What the hell are you doing?! I want you to play with my two brothers! Why are you still watching TV? It's so noisy, it's so noisy!"

The wife rushed out with a rusty kitchen knife—

——That scene frightened Ah Xing, and Xue Ming even wanted to draw his gun to deal with these two weird new friends.

Fortunately, the lady didn't do anything radical, she just swiped the knife a few times and reprimanded her impolite son.

"Baby! I see you look like this all day long! You have no energy at all, mom, I am really worried! Do you know?! I am really worried! We finally have guests at home, don't you just... "

Before my mother finished speaking——

"—Obviously the two older brothers don't want to play with me!" Enrique was so wronged that tears were about to flow out.

Jiang Xueming looked carefully, the tears in the little boy's eyes seemed to be stained with black dirt, like oil.

"Oh, that's right." The wife immediately calmed down, and was a little disappointed. "Guests, is our child not active enough? Is he not good enough? Why are you not willing to talk to him?"

Jiang Xueming was about to refuse.

Hearing what his wife said, his expression immediately changed, and he spoke Italian with Chinese, and began to speak nonsense.

"That's right. He's dead. He doesn't want to exercise. I... I'm dead too. I'm such a [Sventura·unfortunate] woman. I think my husband doesn't want to go home because my baby and I are dead."

"Nothing! Oh! Ma'am!" Bu Liuxing immediately stood up, grabbed Enrique with his height of more than 190 centimeters, and began to hold hands and do radio gymnastics. "Look! Ma'am! Look at this spirited boy! How damn lively is he?"

Before Enrique realized what happened, he felt his limbs being firmly grasped by the huge chimpanzee and began to swing wildly.

Bu Meteor held Enrique's two arms and flexed and stretched: "One, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! Three, two, three, four! Jump and move! Go!"

"Oh." The wife didn't see her baby's expression clearly for a while, and she was a little confused: "Then I'll go on to boil the water. Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

When the wife returned to the kitchen, she heard the screeching of the kettle.

Enrique was stunned for a while at the beck and call of brother A Xing. Just now he was like a puppet in mid-air, jumping up and landing, throwing and catching. This set of gymnastics is almost equal to his exercise for more than half a year. .

"Wow" Enrique's eyes sparkled, looking at Ah Xing's muscular body: "Brother! Why are you so strong!"

Bu Meteor showed off the muscles on his arms with a smile, "Of course it's from training!"

"Then can I grow so tall and big like you?" Enrique was very envious.

Bu Meteor patted the child's head: "Of course! As long as you are willing to exercise, ask your mommy to cook delicious food for you! Eat more and exercise more, you are like a bamboo shoot, you can grow very tall if you don't pay attention. Taller!"

"Really? You won't lie to me, will you?" Enrique seemed to have thought of something sad, and looked at A Xing disappointedly: "I've been here for a long, long, long time, and I haven't grown up yet."

Bu Meteor patted his chest: "I won't lie to you!"

Speaking of which -

——The wife at home came out with a kettle and teacups.

"The tea at home has long been drunk, and my husband has not come home. If he can come back, he can also bring some snacks to entertain you two. I'm sorry."

Jiang Xueming saw that two teacups fell off the table.

The boiling water in the cup was full of rust, and some black grease was floating on it.

Officer Nanami is right, there seems to be a problem with the water source here.

Then everything is normal--

——The two of them avoided the important things and chatted with the mother and son.

According to their investigation, this family is the dormitory of the McDonald's restaurant downstairs, and all three members of the family are Italian.

I came to live in this city in 1980. According to the mother and son, it has been exactly ten years since I was full.

Their time seemed to be stuck on December 31, 1990 forever.

Occasionally Enrique would mention the TV, and all the TV programs were on a cycle of the same day. This is true for Chinese, English and Japanese channels.

The little baby talked about these things smoothly and naturally, without feeling anything strange.

Enrique's mother often mentioned her husband. Because it was New Year's Eve, McDonald's prepared a New Year's dinner for the workers, and they had to work overtime until very late before returning.

At this time, Jiang Xueming realized that the thriving scene he saw when he entered the family building just now was an entertainment activity when people stopped work and closed business during the New Year holiday.

As for the city's original name and its original function, Jiang Xueming repeatedly hinted, but couldn't get a general idea.

Around 1990, these things were classified as beta-level secrets. Ordinary families who work as McDonald's employees in the family building have no idea what this city is for. They only know that working here makes money very quickly-the male owner can support the whole family with one job.

Get favored by the station, come to work underground.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

Jiang Xueming pulled Ah Xing up, ready to leave.

"Are you leaving?" Mrs. Enrique quickly stood up with the child.

Little Enrique also looked anxious: "Brother! Brother! Will you still come to see me?"

Jiang Xueming just wanted to say "no".

Bu Meteor immediately replied, "Come here when you're free!"

"Brother! How about this brother! You take me to play ball? You Chinese are very good at playing table tennis! I want to grow up! I want to grow up!" Little Enrique pulled Bu Liuxing's plastic cloak—Ah Xingyi accidentally didn't protect him, and the gun in his arms was almost exposed.

"Yes, we agreed to let our baby play with you." Mrs. Enrique looked embarrassed and ashamed: "The hospitality is not good, I think you didn't even drink your saliva."

Seeing that the child refused to let go, Bu Liuxing had no choice but to turn to Brother Ming for help.

Jiang Xueming looked at little Enrique's eager eyes, and saw Mrs. Enrique rummaging in the house, as if she still had something to ask.

"That's right! Wait! Wait!"

After a while, Mrs. Enrique pulled out a trombone and stuffed it into Bu Liuxing's hands.

Ah Xing quickly said: "No way! No way! This thing will be considered a cultural relic in a few years, it's too precious."

"It's not for you, I want to ask you for a favor." Mrs. Enrique quickly explained: "My husband plays the trumpet in the club band, and there is a New Year's Eve performance today, and he has to prepare an event meal , I forgot to bring this when I went out. I just want you to send it over."

Bu Meteor glanced at Xueming.

Xue Ming nodded, wondering again—why Mrs. Enrique didn’t react at all when she heard the word “cultural relic”.

"Okay! I helped you, McDonald's, right? I just wanted to go!" Ah Xing immediately took the trombone back into his hand. The copper instrument has not rusted yet. It seems that the original owner has done a good job of maintaining it. .

As for this child who is holding on to Ah Xing and won't let go.

"Come with us." Jiang Xueming thought, if it's just a child—maybe he can be a guide. Children are a symbol of vitality, and adults rarely get angry in front of children.

And if this child really can't think about it, and wants to transform into a cruel and weird [Desperado], it shouldn't be difficult to deal with depending on his physique.

So he asked again: "We follow little Enrique, can we find your husband?"

"Let him take you to look for it, you can definitely find it." Mrs. Enrique nodded suddenly, she was so happy that she was about to cry, she bowed to thank the two, and pointed to the egg tart on the tea table: "I also asked you to bring gifts, this one How much is the dessert? The packaging is so beautiful, it is very expensive, right?"

"Cheap, cheap! It's very cheap!" Bu Liuxing led little Enrique and rushed out, anxious to go to McDonald's for a meal.

Jiang Xueming helped his wife close the door.

"After we deliver the trombone, we will chat with your husband and play table tennis together, and then we will send your child back."

When little Enrique reached the corridor, he couldn't stop for a moment. Gossiping with Ah Xing and the other.

They asked each other about the zodiac sign, and about the little girlfriend who saw each other.

Officer Nanami saw—Jiang Xueming and Bu Liuxing ran out of the house with a boy holding their left hand and the other holding their right hand.

She clutched her forehead, feeling a splitting headache, and explained in Japanese: "I told you not to bring strange things in, and I didn't tell you to bring strange things out."

Bu Meteor understood: "That's right. You didn't say that."

Jiang Xueming didn't understand: "That's right."

When little Enrique saw the acquaintance, he immediately said hello: "Teacher Nanami! Are these two boyfriends you brought back? Is this the one who wears crotch pants? Or is this the one who likes to do radio gymnastics? Or, are you like me, Do you have to watch TV while eating? Do you want all of them?"

Nanami ignored the children's jokes, moved up to the two passengers, and explained furtively.

She once again grasped the key point with the two passengers, emphasizing: "I heard it at the door just now, you promised to deliver things to Enrique's family, this is your business, you should solve it yourself, it is not within my jurisdiction .The regulations of the station say that if there are passengers who want to die!~the security guards won’t care about it!”

Bu Liuxing leaned close to Brother Ming's ear to translate in a low voice, afraid that the little baby beside him would hear it.

"Understood, thank you for your company along the way, Chief Jessica." Jiang Xueming brought a lot of treasures here, but Nanami didn't let them use them: "I will take the rest of the things and our equipment once. Give us back the sex."

"You guys!" Nanami's eyes widened and she was about to get angry, but she was immediately discouraged, because if something happened to the two passengers, the BOSS would definitely not give her a good fruit: "Okay. I will give you two hours of freedom. During the investigation, all the equipment will be returned to you, and I will accompany you all the way."

Jiang Xueming remained expressionless: "Thank you, sir."

Bu Meteor smiled hippie: "Thank you, Sir!"

privately—

——Jiang Xueming and Ah Xing were whispering.

"Officer Nanami has always been reluctant to show us her employee ID. When I cleaned her room just now, I couldn't find it, either in the dormitory or in the office. It seems that she hid her ID. strangeness."

"Girls have secrets?"

"I don't believe this kind of nonsense, so I rang the bell, hoping that Brother Seven would not see our dead bodies when he arrived at the scene. Be careful, Ah Xing."

"good"
