race
After hearing the black-clad referee's instructions, the uncle and the burly man's brains went blank.
The young man with dreadlocks looked confused. "I feel like I've seen this before..."
The black-clad referee retreated into the haze and did not participate in the search for RN99.
"There are still people in the audience. Could they be hiding under a seat?" Si Lan looked at the shadowy audience.
Chen Zhanqin scratched his head. "It's okay if it's hidden in the seat, but I'm afraid it's hidden on a certain abnormal group member. The clue won't hide the nickname of a group member, right?"
"Asking each one of them one by one is too time-consuming and dangerous. It seems like the style of the field of ghost stories." Zhang Liandong looked around and felt that something was missing.
Feng Yan said something shocking: "Where is Captain Lu?"
"Huh?" Chen Zhanqin looked around and vaguely found a figure running in the opposite direction through the haze. "Sister is over there!"
Si Lan and Weekend were calm and relaxed as they watched everyone catch up with Lu Miao.
They had just finished the race and were exhausted and panting. Their running speed was much slower than usual.
Si Lan and Weekend looked at each other.
"Aren't you going to chase her?" Si Lan asked.
Weekend said lightly: "Aren't you chasing after me too?"
Si Lan didn't answer and walked towards the west gate.
Teammate in one second, competitor in the next, Lu Miao took the lead and ran to the audience seats at the west gate, climbed up the guardrail and jumped over.
At this moment, she realized how much better her physical condition had become and she was not out of breath as much.
The alternation of yin and yang can refer to dawn or dusk.
Exactly one east and one west.
There were still some unusual members in the east audience seats, looking for them to take great risks, just like the style of playing word traps in the field of weird stories.
And it just so happened that Wang Keke, who was keen on following the anime, had whispered something in her ear about the devil's hour, which was the evening when yin and yang alternated.
Then, in order to scare her, He Ping'an found ghost stories from the island country and sent them to her, including a weird nursery rhyme - the original version of the clue: "Cage Cage Cage".
She always adds some weird new lore, thanks to two unique team members.
So she boldly speculated that RN99 was hiding in the audience seats at the west gate.
Lu Miao landed on the ground and half-knelt, glancing at the seats in the audience in front of him.
In an instant, she turned around and saw the medicine box under the parapet.
RN99.
This is what was written on the front of the medicine box.
She picked it up and ran, her eyes glancing at the people running towards her.
The west gate was at a corner of the court, and she had to run as fast as she could to get to it faster than them.
Seeing her turn and run towards the west gate, Chen Zhanqin and the others also ran towards the west gate.
"Sister! Let's share it with everyone!"
"Captain Lu, it's hard to get fat by eating alone!"
"Captain Lu, I can pay for one!"
…
Lu Miao, who turned a deaf ear to the enemy, rushed to the west gate, but met Si Lan standing in front of the gate.
She stopped cautiously.
Si Lan helped her open the door.
"Run." He said calmly.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. She could only believe that Si Lan had no intention of competing, so she ran through the west gate.
Si Lan followed behind her.
Lu Miao called Lu Xingyang while running.
I was about to run to the main hall's gate, but Weekend, who loved to cut corners, blocked my way.
"Want to fight?" she said coldly.
Weekend waved his hands repeatedly. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in RN99."
"Why stop me?"
"I want to make a deal with you. If your team is willing to take me in, I can let me go."
"What if I say no?"
Weekend was confident: "If you are confident that you can defeat me before they catch up, you can refuse."
The corridor echoed with the sound of messy running.
Time is running out.
"Leave your contact information."
The weekend was a joy, and he stepped aside to make way.
Lu Miao angrily ran past him, out of the main hall door and headed straight for the main entrance of the gymnasium.
Unfortunately, she was not the only one who contacted her superiors. There was a police car and a mysterious black jeep parked outside the main entrance.
The black jeep is definitely not Lu Xingyang's car.
There were two police officers standing in front of the police car.
Weekend suddenly knocked the deer seedlings aside and ran in front of the police officer.
Because it was a smoggy day and the person in front of him was wearing visual glasses and a filtering mask, the police officer was not sure of his identity for a moment.
"Uncle policeman, how much are you willing to pay for RN99?" Weekend looked around furtively.
"Do you have RN99?" the police officer asked suspiciously.
The smog was so thick that the police officer couldn't see anyone other than him running out, and he was extremely anxious.
They were supposed to intercept women.
"Hmph, is the car next to it also a buyer? If you don't want it, I'll go ask them."
"etc!"
Lu Miao saw Weekend's intention and looked hurriedly where Lu Xingyang's car was parked.
Wow, he actually parked his car diagonally opposite, very low-key.
She ran across the road, only to see two soldiers in military uniforms run out from the other side of the mysterious jeep.
She sped up and the passenger seat of the car rolled down the window, revealing a head of red hair.
Two soldiers came running over quickly.
Suddenly, a tall man crossed the road and blocked the two soldiers.
"Get out of the way!" the soldier shouted.
Si Lan turned his head, his deep black eyes like the mysterious seabed. "Sorry."
He slowly moved aside, each step no more than five centimeters, causing the two soldiers to be so anxious that they wanted to draw their guns.
"Take it back!" Lu Miao stuffed the medicine box into Lu Xingyang's hand.
The latter didn't have time to close the car window and stepped on the accelerator to leave.
In this three-way contest, the government has the upper hand.
Seeing this, the two soldiers got back into the jeep and chased Lu Xingyang.
The police officer was furious: "How dare you lie to us!"
Weekend shrugged: "Did I mention RN99 is on me?"
Twelve white foam boxes appeared in the open space in front of the main entrance of the gymnasium.
The next person who ran out was panting and almost needed oxygen.
"Why aren't you out of breath?" Song Zhen was surprised that Lu Miao didn't show any signs of fatigue.
She joked: "Because my physique is better?"
Chen Zhanqin had already accepted the reality of losing to Lu Miao, and looked at her two foam boxes with interest. "Sister, you got another extra reward. Your heart-shaped sticky note looks like the kind used for confession."
Lu Miao got goosebumps. "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible."
Si Lan looked at it. "Does the heart shape represent a confession?"
Chen Zhanqin interrupted: "Of course. The heart shape is the shape of love, the shape of the heart. Isn't giving your heart to someone a confession?"
Si Lan seemed to be thinking about something.
"Captain Lu, we are convinced that we lost to you." Zhang Lian smiled. "I hope we can have another chance to work together to solve the mystery of ghost stories."
"Cooperation is fine, but competition is not."
She is not very good at sports competitions, but she still has a chance of winning in fighting competitions.
Zhang Lian laughed heartily. "Squad Leader Feng and I are going back to be criticized. See you again if there's a chance!"
The two men picked up their respective foam boxes and walked towards their parked car.
The young man with dreadlocks, the middle-aged man and the burly man said goodbye to everyone and left with their rewards.
"Captain Lu, this is my cell phone number." Weekend handed her the note with a smile in his eyes. "I believe you are a person who keeps your promises."
Si Lan next to him glanced sideways.
Lu Miao took the note, glanced at it briefly, and wrote down his email address for him. "Send me your resume before noon tomorrow. Your identity is mysterious and your personal information is very limited. I can't guarantee that the department is willing to hire you."
"I accept the probation period."
She didn't understand. "Since you've investigated my team, you must know that we must hand in the rewards we receive and are forbidden to resell them privately. Can you accept that?"
Weekend snaps his fingers. "Totally no problem!"
"You are not being hunted by many enemies and are looking for government protection, right?"
This time, the weekend remained silent.
"Hmph, you guessed right. This matter will be included in our consideration. After you submit your resume, wait for the news."
“Is this a common rejection tactic used by HR?”
"Why should I spend time reading your resume if I'm going to say no? Make your strengths clear."
"OK."
Weekend happily picked up the reward and left.
After a while, a few embarrassed people ran out of the gymnasium, and their rewards appeared out of thin air on the ground.
Only Si Lan and Lu Miao had not left.
Si Lan suggested: "I'll help you load it into the car."
"No, three boxes are too heavy."
But he picked up three boxes of rewards without saying a word and walked briskly.
Lu Miao admired him. "Does the place where you were hit still hurt?"
“It’s not a big problem.”
Not a big deal? She raised her eyebrows. "Being hit will leave bruises. Remember to apply medicinal wine when you go back."
Si Lan chuckled. "Okay, thanks for the reminder."
There was also someone in front of him holding a box, and the back looked familiar. Lu Miao thought for a moment and quickly chased after him.
The girl wearing an eye patch looked sideways warily and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Lu Miao.
"It's past eleven at night now. It's not safe for you to walk at night with the reward. I'll take you home."
The girl was flattered: "No need, I, I can take a taxi."
"Aren't you afraid that the driver will take you to a secluded place and rob you?"
"I……"
"Come on, I'll take you home."
She was indeed scared, so she had to follow Lu Miao and Si Lan to the open-air parking lot outside Nanjiang Botanical Garden.
It was difficult to tie the three boxes of supplies to the rear of the motorcycle, so Si Lan suggested putting them in the back of his motorcycle first. "I am willing to be your escort and take you home."
The embarrassed girl with the eyepatch blushed.
Lu Miao was straightforward: "Okay, thank you for your help."
So, the girl wearing the eye mask got on the motorcycle and put her arms around Lu Miao's waist.
Si Lan's black car was driving diagonally behind the motorcycle.
The girl lived in an old neighborhood. Occasionally, there were people with evil spirits wandering outside the neighborhood, looking at the two cars entering the neighborhood.
The car was parked downstairs of an old apartment building.
"Thank you for sending me home." The girl hugged her own foam box.
Lu Miao stopped her as she was about to go upstairs. "Excuse me, do you have an eye disease?"
She was startled and lowered her head sadly. "Yes, it's congenital cataract. I just had surgery on my right eye last year, and I can hardly see with my left eye."
Lu Miao sighed secretly. "The surgery plus the follow-up treatment will cost a lot of medical expenses, right?"
She bowed her head without saying a word.
"If there is a high-paying job that allows you to investigate ghost stories, but you have to hand in the rewards you get, would you be willing to do it?"
The girl was stunned.
Si Lan was also surprised.
Lu Miao showed her his ID, which stated that he belonged to the "Weird Story Investigation Department." "We are affiliated with the government and are civil servants. The monthly salary is 20,000 plus performance bonus. If the quarterly points reach the highest in the department, you can get a quarterly bonus of 20,000, and food, accommodation and transportation are provided."
"I don't understand..." She hugged the foam box tightly and stared at the deer seedlings. "Why did you invite me? I'm disabled and I don't have any special strengths. I don't need your sympathy."
Lu Miao smiled.
The team needs this resilience.
"In the seating charts I drew five times before, you didn't sit in the seat I found you in. I don't believe you changed seats because of social anxiety. You were able to survive because of your own ability, and this trait is enough for me to invite you."
The girl bit her lip awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"May I have your name?"
"Yu Xiaowan."
She nodded. "It's almost midnight. Go upstairs and get some rest. Call me when you're done thinking about it. Here's my cell phone number."
The girl took the note and went upstairs with her head down.
"It's late. I'll help you carry the reward back to the office." Si Lan said with a smile, his eyes curved.
Lu Miao laughed dumbly: "Driving while tired is very dangerous, you should go home."
He didn't force her, and helped her carry the two boxes of rewards to the back of the motorcycle, stacked them neatly and tied them tightly. "Be careful on the road, there are criminals wandering outside."
"Got it." She put on her helmet and didn't start the motorcycle immediately. "Thank you for helping me tow the military."
"Aren't friends supposed to help each other?" His dark eyes reflected the white lights of the car, like bright stars falling into the deep sea. "Good night, Lu Miao."
"Good night, Si Lan."
The locomotive roared away.
After moving the extra rewards into the refrigerator in the dormitory, she moved another box back to the unit to turn it in.
Tonight, Old Huang behind the submission window was particularly excited. "Xiaolu, another mission?"
"Obviously." Lu Miao handed over the foam box. "What good thing happened? You look very happy."
"Haha, of course workers are happy to see their leaders anxious and worried."
She was not interested, but Lao Huang was very excited.
"You didn't see it. Boss Han, Xiao Lu and Xiao Tu from your department hurried off to attend a meeting. Even the eighth floor investigation department, the mayor, the secretary and other important people attended the meeting. It was so grand. Something big must have happened."
"It's not our turn to worry about big things."
"Not really."
"?"
Old Huang smiled awkwardly: "Actually, Xiao Lu told me to let you go to the large conference room on the eighth floor as soon as you come back."
Lu Miao: "...Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You have to understand how lonely it is for workers who work the night shift."
She held her forehead. "Can I go up now?"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
The elevator went down slowly, but she was not in a hurry and waited patiently for it to come down.
On the other side, Si Lan returned to his residence, put away the foam box, and took a comfortable hot bath.
He blew dry every strand of hair, then walked to the exquisite CD storage rack and selected a movie to learn about the magnificent civilization of mankind.
The slender fingers swept across the neatly arranged DVDs and finally stopped on a DVD of a romance movie.
