Chapter 271 Collection Point at the Doorstep
Hu Li came to the living room with a bowl in his hand, squatted next to Yu Sheng, and began to eat the rice in the bowl while curiously looking at Irene, who was sitting in a circle with her knees hugged. After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "My benefactor, what's wrong with Irene?"
"I'm shocked," Yu Sheng sighed. "I just learned that there is a kind of stone in the world that is useless and can only be used to deal with me. I feel that I am unlucky."
"Oh," Hu Li didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded while holding the bowl, then moved over and patted one of the Irenes on the shoulder with his tail, "The teacher in the school said that talented people are always envied by God..."
Irene, who was squatting in the autism circle, raised her head, and the three bodies said in unison: "What do you mean?"
Hu Li is an honest girl: "I don't know, but the teacher said that if you meet someone who is particularly unlucky, you should comfort them like this - although after comforting them, they may still be unlucky."
The three Irenes sighed in unison. Two of them lay down on the sofa and continued to live in despair. The remaining one got up and ran to Yu Sheng: "Ah - Yu Sheng, I feel like the world is against me!"
Yu Sheng nodded: "Yes, I can see it."
"You're right!" Irene almost burst into tears on the spot, "No, why? That thing shook me to my knees at the time, and I thought it had detected some incredible characteristics... So it's not defending against anything but me?! Have I ever offended Ankaela?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yu Sheng rolled his eyes, then thought for a moment and felt the need to comfort the little doll. "But you should be more open-minded. What if those crystals are actually targeting the 'Alice doll'? When we contact Alice's cabin, let your sisters try it too."
There was no basis for what Yu Sheng said, but Irene believed it in the blink of an eye. The little puppet's face was visibly happy: "Hey, what you said makes sense! It must be that we puppets are too powerful. We naturally suppress the Dark Angels as "outsiders". That's why they are targeting us now that Ankaela is gone..."
Apart from anything else, this little thing's optimism is quite admirable.
As they were talking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the window, interrupting the conversation between Yu Sheng and the little doll.
The fox, who was eating, instantly pricked up his ears.
Yu Sheng also raised his head and looked towards the living room window with a bit of surprise on his face - the area around No. 66 Wutong Road has always been very quiet. Except for the people from the Secret Service and Fairy Tale, it is difficult for ordinary people to even get within a few dozen meters of the house. Where did this noise come from?
With some doubts flashing through his mind, Yu Sheng had already stood up and walked to the window, followed by Irene, who pulled up his clothes and squeezed under his arms to the windowsill. Then came Fox, who was still holding the bowl. The three heads, two big and one small, looked out together and saw a group of people busy at the intersection closest to No. 66 Wutong Road.
That place is almost at the edge of the "no man's land" in front of Yu Sheng's house. There are several shops with rental and sale signs hanging all year round and empty houses where no one lives. Yu Sheng has always suspected that even those empty houses are part of the "abnormal area" of Wutong Road 66. Later, he specifically asked the street and found out that it was not - it was because it was too remote that it could not be rented out...
But now one of the shops has obviously been rented out. Yu Sheng saw a truck parked at the intersection. Several strong young men were skillfully unloading the truck and moving shelves, counters, computers and other things into it.
Yu Sheng was amazed and said, "...Oh my god, is this place finally going to be prosperous?"
"How is that possible! You know the peculiarity of your house," Irene pressed her whole body against the window, leaning on the glass to look out while muttering, "No one cares about this place, even dogs would avoid it..."
Yu Sheng: "Although what you said is true, the way you said it is really annoying."
"My benefactor, should I go and say hello?" Hu Li finally finished his meal and asked casually while wiping his mouth with his tail, "Although we are quite far away, we are still new 'neighbors'?"
"We're not neighbors, but we can definitely go see what they do," Yu Sheng nodded, "I'll go over and say hello."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Li stuffed the bowl into his tail and said, "My benefactor, I'll go with you!"
Then Irene also jumped from the windowsill into Hu Li's arms: "I'll go too! I'll pretend to be dead now!"
Before he finished speaking, the little puppet's hands and feet drooped down, and the light in its eyes instantly disappeared - a very skilled move.
Hu Li also took off his ears and tucked his tail in with a "bang", no slower than Irene.
Yu Sheng looked at the two followers helplessly and sighed: "Okay, let's go together."
After changing into some clothes for going out, Yu Sheng led Hu Li (and Irene who was pretending to be dead) out of the house. Not long after, they arrived in front of the store. As a result, he just looked around curiously, and his eyes were instantly attracted by a sign on the truck next to him -
The black background, red stripes, and diamond-shaped mark look like a vertical warning eye.
Secret Service insignia.
Just as he was stunned, Yu Sheng heard a familiar voice: "Teacher Yu!"
He looked up at the direction of the voice and saw Ren Wenwen, dressed in a black suit and looking like an office elite, standing in front of him with a bright smile.
Several young men who were busy moving shelves around also raised their heads at the sound. Two of them were the Secret Service agents who had helped in the valley not long ago...
Yu Sheng: “……?”
Seeing that the people at the scene were familiar faces, Irene stopped pretending to be dead and lifted her head up from Hu Li's arms: "What? It's you? What are you doing here?!"
Yu Sheng also looked at Ren Wenwen with a questioning look on his face, and saw the latter smilingly raised her hand and pointed at a sign that had not been hung up in front of the store door yet -
"Xingchen MRT Wutong Road collection point".
Yu Sheng's expression changed subtly: "...Express delivery station?"
Ren Wenwen laughed and said, "Didn't you tell the Secret Service Bureau that it was inconvenient to receive express delivery and takeout at No. 66 Wutong Road? So we decided to set up a collection point as close to your home as possible. Don't be fooled by this inconspicuous storefront. From the site selection to the supporting personnel, the bureau has repeatedly verified and tested it many times.
"This location is the edge of the 'shielded area' near your home. It is also the maximum distance that ordinary humans can get close to No. 66 Wutong Road without cognitive interference. It is considered a prime spot for setting up a collection point. In the future, two Secret Service agents will be stationed here. It is equivalent to a special 'station' of the Secret Service. I will be directly responsible for the liaison work of this station. In the future, you can also write the reception address of the 'hotel' here. It will be convenient for you to accept detective commissions in the future. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the client cannot find your home..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Ren Wenwen spoke very seriously, and Yu Sheng listened with an expression of "Ah? Ah, oh, ah?" throughout the whole process. From beginning to end, he had an atmosphere of being unable to react suddenly. But if you have to say it, it was not sudden at all. After all, he had mentioned this matter to Baili Qing a long time ago, but he was too busy recently and almost forgot about it...
Ren Wenwen seemed to notice the subtlety in Yu Sheng's expression. She lowered her head apologetically after she finished speaking. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The main reason is that although it's such a small station, there are quite a lot of departments involved. In addition, considering the possible need in the future, we have also connected the 'Xingchen MRT' channel. This has to go through the approval process of the Council again. Although each link is handled specially, it is still troublesome to go through all the processes again."
Yu Sheng only reacted at this time. Looking at the apologetic clerk, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I was just too busy recently and forgot about it, so I was a little surprised... Wait, what is the Xingchen MRT channel? I wanted to ask when I saw the sign just now..."
"Oh, that's a shopping and delivery platform that the Border Area Council directly invests in," Ren Wenwen said, pulling out a QR code from her side, "Scan this to download an app..."
Yu Sheng suddenly felt that the man in front of him didn't look like a Secret Service agent, but rather a salesperson in a shopping mall who would chase you to follow the official account, register as a member, and apply for a stored-value card...
Ren Wenwen didn't notice the subtle change in Yu Sheng's expression, and was still introducing it with great interest: "This platform is not accessible to ordinary people. It implements a whitelist system. The main reason is that many of the things on it are restricted in circulation in the border area, or require very strict purchasing qualifications. Of course, you don't have to worry too much. You have been on the whitelist for a long time. Our director personally signed it for you. You can just register directly. Of course, if it really involves restricted products, you can't buy them. A warning will pop up when placing an order. In addition, it doesn't matter if you don't use this app. Xingchen MRT also undertakes ordinary logistics and express delivery within the border area, which is also very convenient for you to use..."
Yu Sheng didn't notice what Ren Wenwen muttered at the end. After downloading the app, he clicked on the page to take a look, then closed it silently. He clicked on it again to take a few more looks, and finally closed it silently.
He probably knew what this thing was.
The homepage of this thing recommends selling "Balgomo Delicious Alien Cans". Clicking on the product details, the first line teaches users several practical fighting techniques after opening the alien cans...
He felt that he might not be able to use this hardcore thing for the time being...
And then, he heard Ren Wenwen change the subject again: "By the way, Teacher Yu, I saw your newly published novel!"
To be honest, Yu Sheng was really shocked.
The main reason was that the weirdness of this girl when she was shipping CP really left a deep impression on him.
But soon, Yu Sheng remembered that he had changed the hero's mount to an alpaca last time, and he immediately relaxed. He exhaled slightly and smiled, "How do you feel?"
"It's a bit... exciting," Ren Wenwen thought for a moment, her face serious, with a sense of mission, "To be honest, it's quite difficult, but I'm trying..."
Yu Sheng: “…”
He stood there in a daze for a long time, and then his brain suddenly came to his senses - and then he felt that it would be better if he had not come to his senses at all.
No, girl, what are you working hard for? ! (End of this chapter)
