Chapter 43 The Next Target



Xie Xuan goes out in the morning and comes home in the evening. In just a few hours, she feels as tired as if she has spent several days.

But as soon as she walked out of the elevator, Xie Xuan saw a figure lying stealthily on the ground in front of her door, not knowing what he was doing.

Although the people on the ground couldn't see her face clearly, they could see from the back that she was wearing a very ordinary gray T-shirt and sweatpants. She was a little plump, with hair just past her shoulders tied in a low ponytail. The ends of her hair seemed to be dry and split due to lack of care.

He looked harmless, just like any other worker Xie Xuan would meet on the light rail.

Xie Xuan walked forward and found that the woman was lying on the ground, trying hard to dig something out.

Xie Xuan looked carefully and found that there seemed to be a piece of paper stuffed under her door, with only a corner sticking out.

Xie Xuan didn't remember there was any paper at the door before she left. In the wasteland era, no one would have the luxury of using paper flyers for advertising.

"Is this paper yours?"

The woman lying on the ground stood up suddenly as if she was startled. Because she had been lying on the ground for a long time, her fleshy face was now red.

It seemed that she stood up too quickly. After she stood up, she held on to the wall for a while before she said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I accidentally fell just now and the paper in my hand flew over."

"It's okay, I'll open the door and you can take it."

The woman said gratefully, "Thank you. I live in room 909 next door. My name is Yang Jiayue."

"My name is Xie Xuan." Xie Xuan opened the door, bent down to pick up the paper on the ground, and when she handed it back to Yang Jiayue, she inadvertently glanced at the words on it.

This is an unsigned letter that describes the location of the brake system of new energy vehicles and how to operate it to make the brake system look like it has malfunctioned on its own.

Xie Xuan took a quick glance and felt that the content of the letter was incoherent and had no cause or effect. It was more like an operating manual than a letter.

Just as Yang Jiayue took the letter, Xie Xuan suddenly clenched her fingers and did not let go.

She remembered where she had seen a letter similar to this one before, in the memories of the parasite in the area she had just left.

"Is this letter yours?"

Yang Jiayue hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Actually, it's not mine. It belongs to a colleague of mine. She didn't feel comfortable taking the letter home, so she gave it to me for safekeeping."

Xie Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

If what Xie Xuan saw in the memories of the parasites was true, then the person who sent the letter was instigating these bullied people to seek revenge in the most extreme way.

And the recipient of this letter is the next target.

"Has your colleague read this letter? Was there a small blue reagent bottle sent to her together with the letter?" Xie Xuan asked.

Yang Jiayue was stunned. "How did you know?"

Xie Xuan: "She might be in danger. Can you contact her now?"

Yang Jiayue said in panic, "Really? I'll send her a message right now."

Yang Jiayue quickly opened the terminal to find Wang Qin's contact information. After dialing the number, it took a long time before the call was connected.

"Yang Jiayue, what's wrong?" The voice on the other end sounded a little tired.

Yang Jiayue and Xie Xuan looked at each other, "Um, are you okay?"

"Me? I, of course I'm fine. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Wang Qin seemed a little nervous.

"No, I just noticed you looked a little under the weather when you left, so I asked if you had made it home."

There seemed to be someone else next to Wang Qin. After a few seconds, Wang Qin said, "I'm home. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Yang Jiayue: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

After the call ended, Yang Jiayue turned to look at Xie Xuan, "She sounds fine."

Xie Xuan still had some doubts in her heart, but nothing had happened yet, and she couldn't rashly say that Wang Qin would become a parasite.

And judging from the memories of the parasites in the previous field, the final decision on whether to implement this revenge plan still depends on the recipient's own wishes.

Xie Xuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and returned the letter to Yang Jiayue. "Sorry, maybe I'm overthinking it. I'm giving it back to you."

"It's okay." Yang Jiayue took the letter and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just waved her hand. "Then I'll go home first. If there's a chance in the future, we can visit each other or something."

Xie Xuan nodded, watched Yang Jiayue take out the key, open the door of Room 909 and walk in, then turned and went into her own home.

Xie Xuan's own clothes were torn to pieces in the field, and when she came back she was wearing a T-shirt from the Ecological Bureau.

It was said that they were going to be distributed for free at the Ecological Bureau’s annual celebration next month, which is similar to the annual meeting.

As for why the annual meeting was chosen to be held at the end of September, it is because mid-September is the end of the rainy season every year. In order to reward the employees who have been busy for nearly three months, the Ecological Bureau specially prepared many benefits for the celebration.

Although Xie Xuan was not very familiar with the current District 6, he knew very well that the Ecological Bureau was the best-funded department in District 13 of the Confederation.

As a unit that covers scientific research, security, medical care, etc., the status of the Ecological Bureau in the Confederation can even be said to be second only to the administrative unit.

However, Xie Xuan was only interested in the lottery activities with a 100% winning rate that had been held in previous years. It was said that the smallest prize was one thousand Confederation coins, and the largest prize was a full one hundred thousand Confederation coins.

While taking a shower, Xie Xuan imagined herself walking up to the podium and taking a photo with the grand prize of 100,000 Confederation coins, which was limited to one person per branch.

More than ten minutes later, Xie Xuan walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and woke up from her fantasy.

Judging from her luck that always led to unexpected results every time she went on a mission, she could probably only get a participation prize of one thousand Confederation coins.

Xie Xuan changed her clothes and was about to go to Taikang Hospital, but when she reached the door of her house, she stopped, opened the terminal, and began to search for news about tracking some time ago.

But nothing was found.

This is also expected. If Xie Xuan was a tabloid reporter, she would not be willing to spend time on such follow-up news that has no explosive points.

Hundreds of infections, large and small, occur every day in the streets under the jurisdiction of the 45th Branch of the Ecological Bureau. People may be more interested in the color of the fungi growing in the new infection in the neighboring community than in an ordinary woman who was groped on the light rail.

After thinking about it, Xie Xuan still felt a little concerned about the memories he saw in the field.

But she couldn't find any relevant information on the Internet, and the only insider she could think of was Ding Qiaoyun.

Although it is already dinner time, Ding Qiaoyun is probably still working overtime at the Ecological Bureau.

Xie Xuan sent a message, but it fell on deaf ears.
