Chapter 141141 Maintenance Service
Tu Lanxun felt half relieved by this assurance. Wen Chong was a man of his word and wouldn't joke about such a thing. However, the complex emotions in Wen Chong's eyes kept the other half of her heart from settling.
It was more like helplessness, or a sigh condensed in the eyes.
Was making this promise to her out of helplessness? Tu Lanxun grew slightly wary. What kind of helplessness? A helpless compromise or a helpless deception? The former was bad, the latter even worse.
"Okay, Xiaokunshan is in place." Wen Chong stood up and interrupted Tu Lanxun's thoughts.
Zheng Liefeng, who had been summoned by the omen, was already at Xingfuquan Road. He had a more serious personality than his brother Zheng Dongyang, but he also smiled and saluted the two. "Director Wen, Consultant Tu."
Wen Chong greeted him, and Tu Lanxun was nearly hit by a camera screen carried by two reckless officers. He fell backward, his back bent back and then straightened out of the air at an angle that would have frightened Newton. Zheng Liefeng hurried over to help him, saying in surprise, "Advisor Tu, have you practiced martial arts? I've heard you're a master at fighting and scoring."
Tu Lanxun tugged at his sleeves, hiding his arms, which showed little sign of training, and laughed, "Just a little bit, just a little bit of skill."
Her expression remained natural as she spoke, but she felt a strange mixture of cold and warmth on her back. Just as she was about to fall, a cold hand in a black leather glove silently supported her.
Or rather, he hugged her, then immediately pulled away and disappeared.
N sneered invisibly in his ear: "Three-legged Cat, this nickname suits Mikhail very well. He is from the same family."
Tu Lanxun didn't know how to respond, so he simply rushed upstairs with Wen. The camera screen was moved and followed behind him. It flashed twice, revealing the faces of Zheng Dongyang and Lu Lianbing.
They should be in Xiaokun Mountain. The air there seemed pleasant. Winter hadn't brought many insects, but the birdsong was still pleasant. Lu Lianbing waved excitedly at them. "Director Wen! Lanlan! We're next to that red space!"
Zheng Dongyang also saw his brother and smiled: "What should we do now?"
Wen Chong fixed his gaze on Tu Lanxun and said, "You were the one who came up with this idea. You take the lead."
After hearing this decision, Tu Lanxun became wary. Was she being trained to become the Director of the Tourism Management Bureau? Training her in leadership and control?
She doesn't want a secret positioning device implanted in her brain and soul!
"Lianbing, move the camera back a bit," Tu Lanxun said carefully, "so that we can all see the entire ten-meter area around you. Make room for the space marked in red."
The camera was quickly adjusted, revealing a patchwork of slanting tree shadows nestled against a dark, blue sky. Like the backdrop of an old film from the last century, it evoked a subtle, twisting feeling in one's heart. Only a tape-marked cross was stuck to the ground half a meter in front of Lu Lianbing's toes.
At first glance, it looks like a marking point to remind the actors to move, but if you think about it carefully, isn’t that another world in front!
Tu Lanxun also adjusted her own camera to ensure the red space on the Xingfuquan Road balcony was captured. Then she stepped back and patted Zheng Liefeng. "Officer Zheng, please take your place." She glanced at the screen again and repeated, "Both Officers Zheng, please take your place. Thank you."
Zheng Liefeng and Zheng Dongyang looked at each other through the screen and stood cooperatively, but nothing happened.
Except for Wen Chong, everyone present looked at Tu Lanxun and asked: What next?
Tu Lanxun said directly: "Now you are facing the hidden red space. Raise your hands and try to push the door."
This scene was a bit funny. The two handsome twin police officers Zheng were performing nonsensical performances without props. At this time, the tacit understanding between the twins was revealed. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the angles of Zheng Liefeng and Zheng Dongyang's arm raising and pushing movements looked almost the same.
It's just that their hands passed through the air without pushing anything invisible to the naked eye.
The atmosphere was somewhat disappointing. No one questioned Tu Lanxun for a moment, but everyone felt that the plan might have failed.
Wen Chong took back the command and asked Zheng Liefeng and Zheng Dongyang to change several styles, such as changing from pushing the door to knocking, and changing from right hand to left hand, but it was of no use.
"How about taking blood?" Zheng Dongyang was still his cheerful self, grinning broadly on the other side of the screen, as lovable as a human-shaped Samoyed. "I've read in martial arts novels that there's a secret to gaining entry through a drop of blood. If it's going to work for twins, we need to let the space sense the same blood from both of us, and our palm prints and fingerprints are different."
His words had the effect of waking people up from their dreams, but also made people feel that they were extremely unreliable.
Do Kris and Dong Yijian have to cut their palms every time they enter the secret space?
Wen Chong wasn't afraid to try; only she had the authority to approve such a proposal. The twin officers nodded in agreement. Wen Chong was about to find a sterilized knife for Zheng Liefeng when Tu Lanxun suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't think it's blood." Tu Lanxun stopped the officer who was delivering the knife and said, "What if this attempt goes wrong and backfires?"
Yes, they are walking around here now, but they have not touched any taboos. For example, it is okay for a person to pass through the air and secret space. After all, Xiaokun Mountain is not deserted, and Dong Yijian occasionally comes to live in Xingfuquan Road Apartment.
But blood...
If there was some nasty detection mechanism hidden here, wouldn't it be immediately known that someone was trying to break in?
And I really don't think the blood is the problem with Tu Lanxun. Kris's taste is not that fantasy.
What will they use?
As "gods" who are "transcendent" of human identity, Tu Lanxun does not think they would use mortal body fluids or facial structures as signals.
"It's the soul." Tu Lanxun suddenly said, "Try the soul."
Soul is the core project of Tianguo Group, and it is also the most conscious difference between brothers Kris and Dong Yijian. Their approach to soul is ahead of the world, even ahead of the Tourism Administration in the early days.
Anyone can raise their hand to push the door open, and even a more ruthless mortal can cut open the skin and draw blood, but what's wrong with taking off a living person's flesh hand like taking off a glove and using the hand of the soul to open this invisible door?
This is in line with Kris brother’s aesthetic and self-pursuit!
Tu Lanxun shared this idea with Wen Chong and the others. Sure enough, this vague idea was instantly realized by Wen Chong. Wen Chong directly arranged, "Bring a set of maintenance clothes. Xiao Lu, the same for you."
Tu Lanxun originally thought that the maintenance suit was a full-coverage outer garment similar to a space suit or a biochemical protective suit, but someone brought a mess of white thread, which was much thinner than the restraints used to tie up the morning glory that day. It was simply a fishnet suit made up of a hardened version of long hoodie straps, shining with metallic luster.
"It looks like a poorly designed stage costume, the kind that could be included in funny news." She heard a very young police officer say from behind.
Wen Chong picked up the white fishing net and shook it, and it instantly took the shape of a human. It turned out that this thing was also a one-piece wear for people. Zheng Liefeng took it with a wry smile.
The two brothers wore the same clothes despite being thousands of miles apart. Tu Lanxun finally understood what was going on and wondered, "Is this clothing meant to help people leave their bodies?"
"Yes." Wen Chong nodded. "Maintenance suit, also called Erxiang suit."
Zheng Liefeng, like a fashionista performing performance art, was trapped in this flexible white human-shaped cage. He took two steps forward, moving quite smoothly. "What should I do now?"
Wen Chong said something that made people's hearts tremble, "Turn on the power."
In Tu Lanxun's eyes, the maintenance suit now looked a bit like a 20th-century torture device. The police officer behind him plugged in the power as instructed, and the Zheng brothers inside and outside the screen "lit up" at the same time.
The maintenance suit lit up first. The dim white fluorescence was not dazzling. The light gradually permeated the box, illuminating the bodies of the two brothers. It became difficult to tell whether it was the maintenance suit that was glowing, or Zheng Liefeng and Zheng Dongyang.
Tu Lanxun's eyes froze, and she couldn't even make out Zheng Liefeng's outline. Strange, was she suffering from low blood pressure? Why did Zheng Liefeng have two outlines, one dark and the other glowing white?
She realized belatedly that she saw Zheng Liefeng's body and soul at the same time.
So that thing is called maintenance service and two-image service.
Its function is to maintain the dual form of the human body and soul.
Wen Chong saw Tu Lanxun standing beside her and smiled. "The core technology of this thing came from a foreign country—the Tianguo Group. Initially, our domestic research could only temporarily extract the soul, which was quite troublesome. It wasn't until recently that this technology was passed down to us, and we have achieved this improvement."
"improve?"
"Do you know what the Heavenly Kingdom Group used the Soul Dual Image technology for in the beginning?"
"Let's do an experiment."
"Yes, for experiments." Wen Chong stared at Tu Lanxun Le. "Their researchers need to clearly see the changes in the expressions of both the mortal body and the soul when conducting human experiments."
Would it be different? Tu Lanxun wanted to ask, but quickly swallowed it back. The Tianguo Group was doing this perverted thing because they wanted to know if there was a difference between the state of the human body and the state of the soul. They wanted to know what kind of stimulation, even pain, could cause the soul to separate from the body and cause a mismatched reaction.
She seems to know a little too much about the Heavenly Kingdom Group, which is dangerous...
Tu Lanxun couldn't help but think of the experimental site she had cleaned in the basement at Junxi Manor, and the red blood that splattered all over the ceiling.
"Will the Tourism Administration conduct similar experiments?" Tu Lanxun consciously asked a suicidal question.
Wen Chong paused, his expression unconcealed and unambiguous, and replied cautiously, "We have volunteers. But we will prioritize theory and do our utmost to protect the health and safety of the volunteers. We also provide generous compensation."
Tu Lanxun looked at the other person's serious eyes and knew that he could not ask any more questions. The price of continuing to satisfy his curiosity would be knowing too many secrets, and eventually he would not be able to become the editor-in-chief of the Tourism Administration.
"So that's how it is..."
"When the day comes that I can no longer work, maybe I will become a volunteer."
"ah?"
"Director Wen, we're ready!"
Wen Chong naturally turned around and announced, "Begin."
On the other side, Zheng Liefeng and Zheng Dongyang, wearing maintenance suits, stood in the planned positions. They maintained the duality of body and soul at the same time, raised their hands towards the air, and pretended to push the door.
As everyone watched, breathless and tense, two luminous ripples in the air appeared on and off the screen, simultaneously emanating from the Zheng brothers' palms and radiating outward...
