The morning scenes of honking cars, crowded buses, hurried office workers, and students jogging with backpacks on their backs are intertwined together, and a new day of intense and busy life has officially begun.
There was still time, so Wang Xuan found a small restaurant on the side of the road and had a pancake, a cup of sweet soy milk, and a bowl of salty tofu pudding. He felt that the dispute between the north and the south over sweet and salty food could be put to rest.
"Arrived early?" He found that he was the first one to arrive at the office. Liu Xue, who was young and dressy, arrived more than ten minutes later. Half an hour later, others appeared one after another.
There was nothing to do in the morning. Wang Xuan sent and received a few emails, simply processed two drawings, and then began to study Taoist Canon in a low-key manner.
Of course, he was also paying attention to his old colleague Chen Yongjie, who loved to call people to make arrangements for fishing whenever he had nothing to do.
Sure enough, there was a problem. Wang Xuan's heart was pounding.
Throughout the morning, an old colleague called me several times, asking about fishing, how there was a heavy storm last night, and how it was sunny and windy this morning.
In his opinion, his old colleague was full of slang!
Let’s not talk about fishing. He had experienced it personally in Daxinganling. The violent storm last night must have been referring to the matter of eradicating the Gray Blood Organization. As for the sunny and windy weather today, it should be referring to the fact that all forces should keep a low profile.
Then... Wang Xuan felt there was something wrong with everyone he looked at!
For example, the guy wearing black-framed glasses was talking on the phone to someone saying that he had been killing people all night and was still feeling sleepy.
The two older sisters who loved playing mahjong were also talking in a low voice, saying that feng shui changes with time, and luck is not a matter of momentary duration, and they will fight again next time when they become the banker.
There is also a colleague who is a bit sentimental and likes to write poetry when he has nothing to do. He wrote a poem early in the morning: "I use the sky as a curtain, hang a string of fireworks, and with a bang, it explodes so brilliantly, stunning the world."
Wang Xuan was horrified. Who are these people? !
Did they all take part in the operation last night, driving their warships to shoot down a batch of hostile spacecraft?
Finally, Wang Xuan felt something was wrong when he saw the little girl Liu Xue applying lipstick in front of a small mirror. She said the color of the lipstick was not right, and she liked the sad red, which was bloody and sad, and had a kind of tranquil and otherworldly beauty.
Listening to the fact that everyone in the room was speaking in jargon, Wang Xuan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. He sat there calmly, forcing himself to concentrate and study the Taoist Canon.
It was finally time for lunch. Colleagues were chatting and laughing, and took Wang Xuan, the newcomer, to a newly opened restaurant outside the design institute to try something new.
Wang Xuan ate without any appetite and was absent-minded. He wanted to ask them something, but was afraid of being too abrupt and direct.
After dinner, the old colleague was more steady and took the initiative to find Wang Xuan privately, but one sentence almost made him turn around and leave, because the old colleague asked him if he wanted to go fishing.
After a dangerous experience in Daxinganling, where he was almost locked onto by the Gray Blood Organization's space battleship, Wang Xuan never wanted to get involved in similar muddy waters again.
"Young man, you are still young, you still have passion, you still have youth that can bring tears to your eyes, you must cherish it."
Wang Xuan asked him with a wooden face if he wanted him to be bait again?
"What are you thinking? I'm just inviting you to go fishing in the abandoned machinery factory behind the design institute. There's a lake there that's neither too big nor too small. It's now overgrown with reeds and the wild fish are juicy."
Wang Xuan looked at him suspiciously. Was his old colleague vaguely admitting that he was the senior executive of the expedition organization?
"It's me." As if he knew what he was thinking, the old colleague admitted it directly and said, "Let's go. We just had lunch. Let's go fishing while chatting." He was fully prepared. In the trunk of his old Red Sun car, there were all kinds of fishing gear.
On the way, Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask, what are the identities of those colleagues in the office?
My old colleague Chen Yongjie was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you thinking? Do you really think that all the people in our retirement office are abnormal? They are just a group of normal men and women who love playing games, playing mahjong, reciting sad poems, dressing up and watching horror movies. The only abnormal ones are you and me."
Wang Xuan was speechless, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Finally, he said, "You are abnormal, I am normal!"
Chen Yongjie looked at him in surprise and said, "Is that normal? I heard that you slapped a beautiful woman's face and made it disappear. You killed five people in a few days."
"This is a rumor and slander. I have never killed anyone!" Wang Xuan quickly corrected himself. He abided by the law and only injured five people in self-defense.
"They are all about the same." The old colleague nodded.
Wang Xuan didn't want him to explain, so he wanted to ask him who he was and why he worked in such an inconspicuous place.
An old colleague took him to the lake in the abandoned machinery factory, spread out his fishing rod, and said, "I am Aoki's master. I travel between Xinxing and the old land. No matter where I go, I have to have an easy job to cover it up. Don't you like it here too?"
Wang Xuan understood immediately after hearing this. Qingmu had been prepared and on guard for this. He had sent Wang Xuan to be with his master when Wang Xuan had just graduated.
Even if Wang Xuan had not chosen to join the exploration organization in the first place, with such an old colleague around, he would probably have been tricked into joining sooner or later.
"You guys planned this!" Wang Xuan sighed, but what else could he say? His old colleagues had already revealed their identities and shown their sincerity.
"Don't worry about it. We made careful calculations and arrangements last time. The Gray Blood Organization's spaceships can't threaten you at all. If they dare to show their heads, they will be shot down. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that you practiced the Golden Body Technique, so I'll give you a gift."
An old colleague handed me a book. It looked quite old and had a stale feel.
Wang Xuan took it and opened it, reading it carefully again and again with a look of surprise. The book recorded various plants, minerals, strange creatures, etc.
