Chapter 30



An Zhe lowered his eyes slightly. The feeling of being touched on the head by the judge was very strange. He felt that Lu Xun was in a very gentle state.

If it was because of what he said before, he felt very happy.

So he smiled at Lu Xun.

Then he saw Lu Xun's eyes became vicious, and the fingers that were touching his head moved down and pinched his face.

- An Zhe felt that this person was better when he was in a bad mood, at least he would not bully others casually.

Escape from Lu Xun: "I'm going to check the pot."

Lu Xun: "Hmm."

An Zhe returned to the kitchen and found that the water had indeed boiled. The bubbles were crowded and floated up, almost bursting the lid of the pot. It seemed that he had mastered enough cooking skills. He opened the transparent pot lid, and white steam rose up, and the bubbles quickly subsided. The bacon had been soaked in the boiling water, and the edges of the potato cubes had become round. A large amount of milk made the soup slightly white, and the fresh salty smell of the noodles was accompanied by a faint and long-lasting sweet fragrance, which was a taste that An Zhe liked very much.

He took the soup spoon beside him and used the bottom of the spoon to grind the soft potatoes. The small pieces gradually dissolved in the soup after being stirred and ground. The potato soup became more and more rich.

Lu Xun came to the kitchen at some point, leaning against the door frame and said lightly, "Do you need help?"

An Zhe certainly didn't expect the colonel to be familiar with the kitchen, so he said, "No."

But Lu Xun didn't leave either. He just looked at An Zhe there, then moved his eyes to the kitchen and looked around the small space.

Finally, Wang's eyes stopped at the silver faucet on the sink: "Leaking?"

An Zhe: "Yeah."

The faucet in the kitchen has been leaking since the first day Wang moved in. No matter how tightly it was tightened, water would drip down. The sound was not obvious during the day, but at night, when everything was quiet and even the lights of the twin towers in the distance were turned off, the sound of dripping water echoed throughout the room, sometimes disturbing Wang's sleep - disturbing sleep was secondary, the important thing was that if this continued, Wang might have to pay more for water.

But Lu Xun took off his coat and put it aside, rolled up the sleeves of his uniform shirt, and raised his hand to turn off the black water valve above the water pipe - that was a place that An Zhe was not tall enough to reach.

Then, 놛 turned off the faucet.

Anzhe watched 놛's actions silently. 놛 felt that Lu Xun had only two reasons for this action. One was to completely destroy 놛's faucet, and the other was to help 놛 fix it.

놛 rationally thought it was the former, but emotionally she was more willing to believe the latter.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Xun was cutting the faucet into pieces, and without even raising his head, he said, "Go."

놛's tone was so righteous as if 놛 was the 덿人 in this room.

The real 덿人 Anzhe put down the spoon, walked to the entrance and opened the door. It was a soldier in military uniform.

The man looked around the living room and said, "Colonel Lu asked you to come here."

He spoke loudly.

Then Lu Xun's quiet voice came from the kitchen: "Here."

The soldier walked to the door and saluted with his military boots: "Colonel Lu, I am a member of the logistics department. I neglected your ID card issue. It was our mistake--"

He paused suddenly, his eyes moved to the faucet parts in Lu Xun's hand, his expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and then he continued: "...For this, we express our sincere apologies and--" "

Nonsense." Lu Xun interrupted him coldly.

The soldier said, "... I have brought you a new ID card."

"Thank you." Lu Xun didn't even look at it. He put the two parts back together with his hands and said, "Put it down."

There were some potato peels piled up next to the sink, and a kitchen knife next to them.

There was water in the sink.

The colonel held the faucet parts in his hand.

The soldier held up the ID card, and for a moment, he didn't know where to put it.

An Zhe just whispered, "Give it to you."

After receiving the ID card, he sent the guest away.

At the door, the soldier glanced at the colonel in the kitchen again, then looked at An Zhe, and deliberately lowered his voice, but because his voice was loud, it was still loud after lowering it: "...What are you doing, Colonel?"

An Zhe: "Fixing the faucet."

"Can the judge fix the faucet?" The soldier looked at him suspiciously: "Then you and you are..."

An Zhe: "Now we are neighbors."

Soldier: "What about before?"

"Before..." An Zhe thought of the two of them sleeping in each other's bed, and said: "Let's be friends."

The soldier's mouth twitched unnaturally: "...Hehe."

He didn't seem to believe it.

It must be that Lu Xun is very reluctant to remove other people's faucets, An Zhe quietly sent the soldier away.

——놛Back in the kitchen, I saw that the faucet had been put back in its original position.

Lu Xun turned on the tap.

The faucet was not leaking.

"Wow." An Zhe said.

Looking at the faucet, he felt that the judge was not always arrogant and indifferent, and at the same time he felt that this person seemed to know everything.

He said, "You are amazing."

His voice was still so soft and coquettish. The aroma of the potato soup had completely steamed in the room, and the dense steam filled the whole room. Lu Xun said calmly, "You are not bad either."

After the potato soup was completely cooked, An Zhe divided it into two bowls and served them with two compressed cookies as snacks. Lu Xun seemed to be in a good mood, but An Zhe was not interested. He racked his brains to get some information about the lighthouse from Lu Xun, so he asked Lu Xun a few questions.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Wait for arrangements."

"Will you work in the Twin Towers?"

"No."

"Does the Lighthouse often contact the military?"

"Not often."

"The doctor is working in the lighthouse...are you familiar with him?"

"No." Lu Xun had a blank expression.

The obvious indifference made Anzhe give up the idea of ​​asking more questions, but stopping here seemed to make him more suspicious, so he continued to ask: "Today, that little girl..."

The next second, Lu Xun looked at him.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," he said lightly, "Don't talk while eating."

Anzhe shut up in disappointment.

Until the end of dinner, he didn't get anything about spores, but the judge's attitude towards him seemed to be much better.

Anzhe opened the door and sent Lu Xun back.

Lu Xun said: "Goodbye."

Anzhe also said: "Goodbye."

Then he saw Lu Xun stick the new ID card on the sensor, the green light came on, and the door lock opened smoothly.

Lu Xun pushed the door open.

Then, 놛 suddenly stopped moving, as if he was still.

This behavior was very rare for a colonel, so An Zhe quietly poked his head out and moved his gaze towards the room.

Upon seeing this, 놛 was also stunned.

The room was not empty.

There was a huge open suitcase next to the sofa facing the door, and an officer in a black uniform was sitting on the sofa. The officer had black hair and green eyes, and was looking coldly at the door.

Lu Xun, who was standing at the door, turned his head and looked at An Zhe with a gaze that was as clear as a glance.

An Zhe: "...It's not 놖."

It really wasn't 놛.

The doll of the Inquisitor has not been seen since it was captured. I thought this evil thing had been blown to pieces along with District 6. How did it end up in Lu Xun's house?

At this moment, Lu Xun's communicator rang. The person on the other end spoke in a loud voice. It was the logistics soldier who had delivered the card before: "Colonel, have you returned to your room? Is the new ID card working properly?"

"Thank you," Lu Xun said, "but I want to know, what's the matter with the doll in the living room?"

"Doll?" The soldier on the other end was puzzled at first, and then he suddenly realized: "When the courtroom was evacuated urgently before, important data and items were rescued. The soldiers in charge of the rescue saw this and thought it was important military equipment, so they brought it together. We didn't know what to do with it, so we put it in your room."

Lu Xun repeated: "Important military equipment?"

"It's like this. Although we are in the city, we also know that there are some reactionary organizations in the outer city that oppose the Tribunal. We judged that the simulated dolls might be props used by the Tribunal to lure enemies, not to mention that the cost of making them seems very..." The man kept talking.

Lu Xun said nothing.

The man finally realized that something was wrong: "Colonel, did you say something wrong?"

"No, thank you." Lu Xun hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he said to Anzhe, "Come here."

Anzhe felt desperate. He had not been convicted in the previous case, but was rescued from prison by a sudden worm attack. Now the stolen goods have appeared again. Will the judge bring up the old matter again and convict him?

He walked over.

Lu Xun roughly lifted the doll from the sofa, put it back into the suitcase, and pushed the suitcase towards Anzhe. Anzhe did not know what was going on and pressed the handle.

Lu Xun: "This is for you."

Anzhe: "..."
