167 ? The ninth store

167 The Ninth Store

◎ "...You seem quite disappointed."◎

Lu Yao: "Why are you on the rooftop?"

Driver: "More than 100,000 people are defending their rights. The game company can't afford to pay for the loss of life. It might be easier if you die."

The road ahead was getting more and more crowded, with people everywhere, and it was difficult for the car to continue driving.

Lu Yao took Harold and Qiu Yu off the car halfway, and moved in the crowd for more than half an hour, and barely arrived at the bottom of the technology building.

Lu Yao looked up. The technology building had at least 70 floors. Looking down from the top floor, the heads of people were probably less noticeable than ants.

Harold: "There are four people up there, standing on the fence."

Qiuyu: "If they really fall down, the rescue measures down there won't be able to save them."

Downstairs, there were rescuers and security guards in bright blue uniforms, who drove the people away and placed air mattresses for rescue on the ground.

People shouted "jump down, jump down", and most of them had a suspended screen in front of them, showing the pale faces of four men by the fence.

Behind the four people, there were several rescuers waiting in a serious line, actively persuading them, and the situation was extremely tense.

Lu Yao stood in the crowd and felt an uncontrollable madness.

If a person falls down, it will be like a drop of water merging into the sea, without causing any waves.

The incident on Ghost Street will not end there.

Lu Yao also saw a familiar face among the four people.

Pei Qi, an employee who used to work in her store, said he would come to see her when they parted. Now he stood on the rooftop with a look of despair and fatigue in his eyes.

Lu Yao turned to Harold and Qiu Yu and said, "I'll go upstairs, you stay here and act according to circumstances."

To prevent the emotional crowd from rushing into the science and technology building, professional security personnel have sealed the main entrance of the building.

Lu Yao was stuck in the crowd and was in a dilemma.

On the rooftop, Pei Qi, He Baiheng and two other maintenance workers stood at the edge of the railing, their ears filled with the angry voices of players - jump down, jump down, jump down!

He Baiheng clutched his pants tightly with both hands, his expression full of pain, struggle and a hint of confusion.

Pei Qi stood not far from He Baiheng. He had just been discharged from the hospital and his body had not fully recovered. Sweat dripped down his pale face.

Dusk came from afar, and the evening breeze gently brushed across his face, bringing a burst of refreshing coolness. Pei Qi squinted his eyes, and his eyes were hazy for a while. He seemed to hear the sound of a flock of pigeons flapping their wings in the distance, and they seemed to be flying towards him.

Pei Qi fell forward.

The rescuer standing behind Pei Qi's face changed color and he ran forward.

He Baiheng turned his eyes slowly with a pale face, and it seemed that something pushed him gently from behind.

The next second, his ears were filled with the sound of wind, and he was like a heavy stone, sinking to the bottom.

Bang -

it was like a summer evening, a soda bottle was opened, and the sound of water pouring into the cup came.

"Harold - Prisoner Jade -"

Lu Yao leaned over and knelt beside the broken French window on the 15th floor, holding the Nine Treasures Wand with both hands.

The end of the wand handle was hooked on the back collar of Pei Qi's suit. Lu Yao held the wand with difficulty and dragged the man up.

Having wasted too much time downstairs, Lu Yao used some tricks to sneak into the technology building. He didn't expect that the security system inside the building was much stricter than outside. Even getting on the elevator required facial recognition, fingerprint confirmation, and iris scanning.

Helplessly, Lu Yao chose to take the stairs, and at the same time contacted Ren You with the ghost bracelet, asking him to tell her the situation outside.

Residents of Tomorrow City can track the situation outside the technology building in real time through live broadcast on the Internet.

When he heard someone falling, Lu Yao just reached the 15th floor and used magic to shatter the bulletproof glass on the outer layer of the building.

Under extremely tight time conditions, the body reacted faster than consciousness, and someone fell in front of him. Lu Yao stretched out his wand without thinking, and was about to draw a magic circle, but unexpectedly it just hooked Pei Qi.

This was worse than not catching it, because Lu Yaoteng did not use his ability, and at this time the height from the ground was only fifteen floors, Lu Yao was not sure that he could draw the formation in such a short time.

Fortunately, she was relatively calm, kneeling on the ground and carefully dragging the person back to the balcony.

When Pei Qi opened his eyes, his legs were still hanging outside the balcony. He opened his eyes and saw clearly that it was Lu Yao. His face was panicked, and his throat seemed to be blocked by a nest of ants, itchy but unable to make a sound.

He lay on the floor, breathing in and out violently, his arms and legs paralyzed and sweating.

Lu Yao dragged Pei Qi to a safer place inside, stood up and walked to the broken French window to look down. A huge bubble with a soft outer wall was slowly sinking with glass fragments.

The structure of the soap bubble is the same as the protective net at the entrance of the childhood cram school. It will explode only when it hits the ground, which can prevent innocent people from being injured by broken glass falling from the fifteenth floor.

A gust of wind came from below, and the huge wings blocked the night and the lights in the city, and the shadows shrouded it.

Harold's leather jacket reflected the light, and he was holding two people in his hands.

He folded his wings, jumped onto the balcony, and put the two frightened men next to Pei Qi, but looked at Lu Yao: "Don't blame me, you are more exaggerated than us."

Lu Yao sighed: "Where is Qiu Yu?"

"I'm here." The high heels made a light sound when they landed on the floor. Qiu Yu was holding a tall and thin man in her arms, and her black long skirt was rustling in the night wind.

Qiu Yu stood still, slowly folded her wings, half-knelt on the ground, put He Baiheng on the other side of Pei Qi, and looked up at Lu Yao: "It's very noisy downstairs, what should we do next?"

The incident happened too suddenly, and there were many people at the scene, and there were cameras everywhere.

Harold and Qiuyu were discussing setting up a barrier to cover up the situation. Suddenly, the glass on the 15th floor shattered. They heard Lu Yao shouting, looked up and saw a falling figure. They acted without thinking.

In the eyes of the dragons, humans are so fragile that they can't even take a single blow. They must be caught before they hit the ground.

But the two little dragons remembered Lu Yao's instructions and didn't completely transform into dragons. They only spread their wings.

However, even this caused a huge disturbance.

Lu Yao's ghost bracelet kept beeping, and new messages kept coming in.

Ren You: Shop owner, you guys are exaggerating too!!!

Cai Yuxing: You guys should find a place to hide. The Internet is full of videos, and the faces of the younger brother and the long-haired older sister have been photographed!

...

Lu Yao saw the video sent by Ren You on the ghost bracelet.

Not only Harold and Qiu Yu were photographed, but she was also photographed on the 15th floor.

I heard that someone has asked her if she is the owner of the DIY hut.

Lu Yao turned off the message notification on the bracelet and looked down at Pei Qi: "I didn't think you would be so cowardly."

Pei Qi supported himself on the floor with his hands, slowly sat up, and said hoarsely: "No, I didn't think of that."

Lu Yao frowned slightly.

Pei Qi sat with his legs bent, holding his still trembling right hand with his left hand, and tried to speak calmly: "He seems to be here."

The two employees beside Pei Qi curled up on the floor, crying with their heads in their hands, still in shock.

He Baiheng's condition was slightly better, and he sat up slowly. He carefully glanced at Qiu Yu standing beside Lu Yao, and then his eyes moved to Lu Yao, his face changed suddenly.

People who have never entered the Ghost Street would find it difficult to recognize Lu Yao just by his appearance, but He Baiheng had been observing the game interface for several days at the time, and the short-haired girl with a golden earring on her left ear, and then slightly connected it with the previous scene, and the boss's slightly familiar tone, made him think of the character in the game.

Lu Yao glanced at He Baiheng, then squatted down to talk to Pei Qi.

"What do you mean?"

Pei Qi rubbed his brows tiredly: "I have convinced the creative team that we will do our best to bear all the losses of this accident and will also do our best to compensate. But in the afternoon, a parade suddenly appeared downstairs of the company, and the comments on the Internet were out of control. At that time, I was talking to employees in the office, and my mind suddenly became fuzzy. When I came to my senses, I was already standing on the rooftop."

He Baiheng came to his senses: "It was the same for me. My mind started to be confused in the afternoon . I was groggy and woke up on the rooftop."

Lu Yao tilted his head to look at Pei Qi and He Baiheng for a few seconds, raised his hand and pointed at his ear: "Do you wear this all the time?"

Pei Qi touched the communicator on his ear: "It's more convenient this way." Lu

Yao couldn't help shaking his head: "You are so careless. Have you ever thought about how the people in Ghost Street got in? Young people are fine, even old people like Grandma Xu are in the game."

Pei Qi stared slightly, full of innocence.

Lu Yao leaned over and reached out to take off Pei Qi's communicator.

Pei Qi's face changed suddenly, he lowered his head for a few seconds, raised his head again, and looked at Lu Yao strangely: "Why are you here?"

Qiu Yu imitated Lu Yao's movements and quickly took off He Baiheng's communicator.

Harold squatted impatiently and took off the communicator of the employee who was still crying.

The world suddenly became quiet.

Pei Qi stared at Lu Yao for a while, then suddenly leaned over and grabbed Lu Yao's wrist. Lu Yao

was confused: "What are you doing?"

The skin under his palm was soft and slightly cool, and after holding it for a few seconds, it slowly warmed up .

Pei Qi: "...It's really not a robot."

Lu Yao: "...You seem quite disappointed."

Pei Qi wanted to say something, but Harold interrupted: "Someone is coming."

The office on the 15th floor is currently vacant and no one is using it.

The rescue workers downstairs and upstairs have recovered from the shock and inexplicable situation and are rushing to the 15th floor.

Lu Yao turned and walked towards the broken window: "Which floor is the mastermind on?"

Pei Qi was silent for a while before speaking: "The sixty-sixth floor, but you can't get in. This is not Ghost Street, things can't be as smooth as opening the logout program."

The sixty-sixth floor has the most advanced security system in Tomorrow City. It is not a place that can be broken through simply by force.

The night wind poured in through the broken window. Lu Yao walked to the window, turned his back and waved to Pei Qi: "Don't wear the communicator if you have nothing to do. If things go well, I'll come to you again. By the way, I brought your bracelet with me."

The silver bracelet drew a faint arc of light in the night. Pei Qi caught it, raised his eyes and looked at the window. The three figures were no longer there.

He Baiheng looked out the window: "What do they want to do with Qi Mingxing?"
