80. Give gifts
Su Liu also felt that after being busy for so long, it would be a good idea to relax a bit.
"You've already bought the tickets. If I refuse, wouldn't it seem like I'm being ungrateful?"
Yan Ziyan smiled and said, "It's settled then."
The next afternoon, the two set off for Skyline City.
The school bus is going to the space station and will stop at the station along the way.
After getting in the car, Su Liu couldn't help but think of the time when he first came to Maha.
If the girl sitting next to her hadn't died, would she have become a healer as she wished and given her younger siblings a better life?
"Liu Liu?"
Yan Ziyan's call brought Su Liu back from his memories.
Su Liu turned his head and smiled: "What did you just say?"
"Why did you get distracted as soon as you got in the car? I just talked for a long time and you ignored me," Yan Ziyan complained, and then said, "After the concert, let's stay in the hotel for one night, continue shopping tomorrow, and go back to school in the evening, okay?"
Su Liu thought about it and felt that there was nothing urgent that required him to return to school.
"Shopping is fine, but I don't have any extra money for shopping. Just don't think I'm a spoiler."
"Don't worry, you don't have spare money but I do. Whether you like lipstick or bag, I will buy it for you." Yan Ziyan said generously.
Su Liu lacked nothing. Her material desires were ridiculously low. This was probably because she had been suppressed in an orphanage for too long and had been forced to lose interest in those colorful things.
However, there are also things to buy.
She lowered her head to fasten her seat belt and said, "What do you think is a good gift for a man?"
Yan Ziyan's lazy sleepy eyes immediately widened: "A guy? Great, Su Liu, you're dating behind our backs!"
Su Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "You think too much. He is a male elder who takes good care of me. I always receive his favors, and I feel bad if I don't return the favor."
Elder?
You can tell he's very old just by listening to it.
Yan Ziyan suddenly lost interest and said casually, "Then give me a belt."
"Leather? Belt?" Su Liu looked puzzled.
Yan Ziyan imagined a bald middle-aged man with a beer belly and said with a wicked smile, "Remind him to lose weight, otherwise he won't be able to fasten his belt."
Su Liu blinked, and the figure of Huo Jie appeared in his mind.
She has a slender figure, perfect waist-back-hip ratio, and even her muscles are well-proportioned to textbook standards. She really doesn't need to lose weight.
"Anything else?"
"Then a comb. Does he have hair?"
"Yes, it's very lush. But isn't it a bit strange to give it as a comb?"
"That might be a little strange, so is he a mutant?"
"That's true." And very powerful.
"Then give her some accessories, like watches, rings, earrings, etc., which can be modified to store weapons."
“No.”
"Still not? Oh, is it because he is not worthy?"
"It's my wallet that's not worth it."
The two discussed all the way until the school bus arrived at the station.
As soon as he got off the car, Su Liu saw the military scanning and checking his luggage one by one, and also checking his passes, residence permits, etc.
The last time she entered the city, it wasn't so strict.
"What happened?" She felt intuitively that this was not without reason.
Yan Ziyan was also puzzled: "Is it because of the winter vacation and the large number of migrant workers that the inspections are stricter?"
Su Liu frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
Because they were being searched and inspected, the line was very long and moved at a snail's pace.
It was half an hour later when it was Su Liu's turn to be checked.
The man in military uniform checked the pass first, then looked at Su Liu in surprise: "Purification Master?" So young?
Seeing this, Su Liu simply took out the military badge and showed it to the man, then asked in a low voice: "Did something big happen?"
The man glanced around and replied in a voice that was inaudible to others: "We have received a crime warning. There will be a suicide attack in the city at 8 o'clock tonight."
The five familiar characters suddenly flooded into Su Liu's mind, reminding her of her experience on the school bus when she came to Maha.
Her face turned pale and she subconsciously clenched her fingers.
"Could it be a prank?"
The man gave a wry smile, "We also hope it's a prank. We'd rather it be in vain."
Su Liu wanted to ask more about the details, but the person behind her started to urge her and complained why it took her so long to check.
To avoid arousing suspicion from others, the man pretended to check and let Su Liu pass.
Su Liu waited outside the station for a while before Yan Ziyan came out after finishing the inspection.
"What did he say to you?" Yan Ziyan noticed that Su Liu's face looked particularly ugly.
Su Liu shook his head and simply said, "Let's go to the concert first."
The concert was held in the central square of the city and could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.
When the two arrived, fans who came to support the singer had already lined up in a long queue outside, each holding a banner and shouting slogans, or busy taking photos with the singer's stand. The atmosphere at the scene was warm and lively.
Yan Ziyan was also very excited. She stayed up all night to get tickets for the concert.
I did well in the final exam, so it’s a good time to reward myself.
As soon as she arrived at the scene, Yan Ziyan went to meet with the like-minded people she met online.
Su Liu just came to join in the fun, and just followed Yan Ziyan slowly, like a serious knight.
Su Liu couldn't relax because he was worried.
She was deeply worried. Every time someone came towards her, she would observe and guess in her mind whether this person might launch a suicide attack.
A few months ago, just after arriving in Maha, Su Liu searched on the optical computer.
The so-called suicide attack is when the suicide person is actively or passively injected with eggs of alien animals or plants.
Unlike directly injecting the strange factor fusion fluid, the eggs need to grow and hatch in the host body, and can only "break out of the ground" after reaching a certain size.
This is a relatively short process. Only after they have acquired certain abilities can they completely occupy the host's body and cause great damage to the surroundings.
The eggs are hidden and migratory. They will parasitize in the host's brain nerves, capillaries, skin hair follicles, etc., and can avoid instrument detection and migrate around.
With existing detection methods, it is impossible to detect abnormalities immediately in the early stages of egg implantation.
So in the past two years, suicide attacks have become more frequent and the casualties they caused have become more and more serious.
There were tens of thousands of people in the central square where the concert was held. Is there any place more suitable for an attack?
Not only Su Liu thought so, the military obviously thought so too.
As he walked, Su Liu observed that there were at least hundreds of military psychics nearby.
There were also people openly checking passes and carefully examining every suspicious person.
Basically, every thirty meters, there is a special team of four or five people patrolling.
Because security has become increasingly tight in recent years and it was a large-scale event, the participants did not take it seriously and were still immersed in the upcoming carnival.
Knowing what he might encounter, Su Liu became a little suspicious and felt that there was something wrong with everyone he saw.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Ziyan, who was extremely excited, dragged Su Liu to her seat.
"The atmosphere in Sky City is fantastic. It's worth all the hard work I put into scrambling for tickets." Yan Ziyan smiled and took out a glow stick. After handing it to Su Liu, she said, "I know you're not interested, but you're just here to keep me company. Wait a minute, wave this glow stick as a symbol of love for me."
Su Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he put away the light stick. He said, "If I didn't know how much you were looking forward to this concert, I would have asked the military to drag you back."
Yan Ziyan was talking to the person next to her. She turned around amid the deafening music and asked loudly, "What did you say?"
"I said, just focus on the concert."
And I will protect you.
