Doomsday Wonderland

The food made by the chef brings with it the emotion and temperature of the person who cooked it - at least that's what Wu Lun believes.

The hot noodle soup she cooked at the place where He Huan stayed that night tasted slightly bitter; even the soup and noodles were absent-minded and superficial, and the food lacked the warm and sincere energy.

After being sent home by Lin Sanjiu, Wu Lun watched TV for a while in the room. After watching it for twenty minutes, he realized that he was watching a TV shopping channel. It was unspeakably uncomfortable; sometimes she stood up to drink water, and sometimes she walked around the room in circles. She remembered that when she was a child, she secretly took five yuan from her mother's wallet. Although the amount was not large, the burning feeling of shame when she was discovered burned for more than ten years, and it made her restless even today. ——Until a loud knock on the door jolted her out of her wits.

The knocks on the door are also different: some knock a few times with their knuckles, waiting for a response from the door; some bang with their fists, ordering a response from the door.

The knock on the door now belongs to the latter - the Xiao Leng who had a heart-to-heart talk with her walked in on his own as soon as the door opened.

It is already very late now. Wu Lun is a single girl and is very reluctant to be in the same room with a man who is almost a stranger. She left the door ajar and asked, "Um, what's the matter?"

"You guys got together again tonight, what happened?" Xiao Leng looked around and sat down on her small sofa.

Wu Lun stood, like reporting his thoughts to the teacher when he was in school, and whispered: "They...arrested some people, as if to force them to advertise."

Xiao Leng nodded, seemingly not surprised. "Did you tell me where it was?"

"This... only said it was in a factory area on the outskirts, but in such a large area... I don't know the specifics."

Xiao Leng frowned, looked at her, and said, "Now you know how bad these people are."

Being forcibly taken away by strangers and not knowing when you can go home is indeed a terrible thing. Wu Lun has experienced this. She thought about it and felt that there was something she couldn't understand: "If you are so evil, why do you want me... I'm just a common person..."

"You made the mistake of shielding a criminal, and you should be punished with meritorious service. If you are not punished according to the law, you should go in."

Wu Lun nodded hurriedly. "Then you will go rescue people, right? When will you go?"

"This is something we are considering." Probably because she had a good attitude, Xiao Leng added: "Didn't she say that she would let him go in the end anyway? Then let her advertise, which is convenient for us to catch them all."

After sending him away, Wu Lun quickly closed the door and locked it. She was going to wash up and go to bed, not thinking about it anymore. However, when she was brushing her teeth in front of the mirror, she was suddenly startled.

Didn't she say that Lin Sanjiu would let him go in the end?

Lin Sanjiu had said that everyone would be released after the commercial ended... But she forgot to mention, how did Xiao Leng know? There is no way that the apartment where He Huan lives also has cameras and monitors installed - wait, He Huan...?

She put down her toothbrush blankly and stared at the pool for a while, lost in thought.

She has always disliked He Huan because he always gave her the feeling that she could calculate everything... If the possibility of being monitored was ruled out, then the only person who would tell Xiao Leng about the conversation would be Are you happy?

Then isn't Lin Sanjiu... in danger?

Strangely enough, when she was ordered to monitor Lin Sanjiu, she was not so worried about her. But as soon as she found out that there were others who were also monitoring her, and might even be controlling and influencing her every move, she immediately took over. Lin Sanjiu became scared.

Now think about it, wasn't it He Huan's idea to arrest people? If He Huan was sent there, after Lin Sanjiu is brought to justice, arresting people will naturally be her crime - isn't this a bit wrong no matter how you think about it?

Wu Lun finished brushing his teeth and tossed and turned on the bed. No matter how much he thought, he felt that he couldn't convince himself. Lin Sanjiu is a good person and feels like a good friend, but she stole the museum... Even though she said those things originally belonged to the evolved people, stealing the exhibits is stealing the exhibits, and this may indeed deserve punishment. It's just...she summoned her companions to go together. What kind of law did she break? For safety reasons, shouldn't evolutionaries be encouraged to leave early? The companions she summoned just wanted to leave, so why did they have to be caught in one fell swoop?

He even used the identity of He Huan's evolved person to lurk beside her... The more Wu Lun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he took out his mobile phone from under the pillow.

She opened the text message, found the number used by Lin Sanjiu, and watched the cursor jump for a while.

……say what? How to say? Should I say it?

"I think it's better for you to be careful about who is summoned," she typed this sentence, hesitated for a few seconds, and then deleted it word by word.

The chirping of cicadas complained against the night from the window. On the road far outside the community, car horns honked from time to time.

"He Huan came to you on his own initiative, don't you think it's a coincidence?" He deleted it again.

"I think before you trust He Huan, you should first..." What came first, I don't know, I can't think of it, so I deleted it.

Wu Lun made a sound like a trapped animal from his throat and buried his face in the pillow.

After trying seven or eight messages and deleting them one by one, she gave up. It's too late now. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about anything. Let her be an ostrich for one night. Maybe she'll be fine in the morning...

Just when she was about to fall asleep, the same knock on the door woke her up like a storm - this time, the knock on the door was so strong that it seemed to break the door panel, accompanied by a man's voice on the door. Outside shouted: "Open the door! Hurry!"

Wu Lun hurriedly put on his clothes and looked out of the peephole, and saw at least two or three men. She took a deep breath, calmed down a little, then opened the door and asked in a low voice: "What, what's going on..."

"Why are you asking?" Xiao Leng snorted and looked around. His alert look was as if he had stepped into enemy-occupied territory. "Don't you know what you did?"

Wu Lun's hands and feet felt cold, and her heart sank - she really felt that she had done nothing extraordinary, but now she was really scared.

"We studied it and decided that you should not meet her again in the future." Xiao Leng waved his hand and said, "Go pack your luggage and come with us."

"Go, where are you going?" Wu Lun's scalp exploded when he heard that he was going to follow. "I, I don't want to leave..."

"It doesn't matter what you said. You knew you were scared, so why did you remind her?" The middle-aged man who stayed in the hospital with her all night suddenly sneered and said, "Can I do it without taking you away? ?You almost exposed our entire operation!"

Wu Lun's first reaction after understanding it was that he might have accidentally sent a message. But that's impossible. She clearly didn't, and the other party also said it was "almost" - she vaguely knew that phone calls and text messages might be monitored, but could unspoken words and unsent messages also be heard and seen? ?

"Go pack your things quickly!" Xiao Leng shouted.

The bald man was right on at least one point: she really didn't have to say whether she would stay or go.

Wu Lun watched her body move - her feet were spinning around, her hands were stuffing various things into the box, her body was light and limp. But her mind retreated deep into her body, just like a snail that retreats into its shell when frightened, as if it could protect itself.

After the things were put away and the note was written, Wu Lun finally felt a little relieved and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you...going to send me back to my hometown? But I still have a job. it's here……"

Xiao Leng was too lazy to pay attention to her. The middle-aged man with thinning hair said over and over again, "It's really terrible to torment us in the middle of the night." This made Wu Lun dare not ask even after a few questions. He carried large and small bags on his back and took advantage of When she left the house in the middle of the night - she was pulled back to the white building from the last time. This time she signed a lot of words and printed a lot of fingerprints, but she didn't even see the contents of the document clearly. She sat in the room until morning, when the sparse head poked in and called her: "Let's go!"

This "gone" certainly doesn't mean that she can go back to her small apartment.

After a night of tossing, Wu Lun, who was already in a daze, and Baldding got on the long-distance bus at 7:30 in the morning. After more than ten hours of running around, they wandered all the way back to their hometown. Work has been dismissed with a text message a long time ago, and I have resigned. This month’s salary has not been paid, and I can’t go back to collect it.

"We took better care of you," said the bald man, "and even asked me to take you home. This is to protect you, do you know?"

Wu Lun was indeed protected. After she returned home, the neighborhood committee often came to care about her, and people she didn't know sat in front of her house. The phone was still left to her as it was, but she took out the phone card, cut it into pieces with scissors, and flushed it into the toilet.

She never wanted to use her phone again.
