Twenty-seven's ears twitched slightly, and then he raised his eyelids.
Soon, there was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock at the door, and the door opened, and it turned out to be Ruan Qing.
She threw off her shoes and came in hastily, then went to the sofa, opened the storage box for clothes and dug through it.
Twenty-seven: "...What are you looking for?"
Ruan Qing almost had his head stuck in his head: "Zhao Hao has a black T-shirt with no print, but there is a metal plate on the left hem!"
Twenty-seven pointed to the balcony: "That one?"
Ruan Qing looked up and saw the T-shirt hanging on the balcony through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
She stood up straight: "He also has a black hat with several letters on it..."
Twenty-seven pointed: "That one?"
Ruan Qing turned around and saw that the hat was hanging on the hanger in the entrance hall. She rushed too quickly and didn't see it.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Twenty-seven pursed her lips but said nothing.
"It's been a week since you met me. We're not strangers anymore. There are some things we haven't said yet. Let's just explain them clearly today." Ruan Qing crossed his arms and took on the posture of a business negotiation. "I asked you before. What do you do, you just tell me that you are a coolie. I think that you come from an old world to a new world, which is equivalent to starting from scratch. The past is not important, but the future is important. There is no need to do it. Go back. So, I never asked you again."
Ruan Qing said, "Just wait."
She gave him money to spend, and he cooked for her. She glanced at his waist, and he had seen her big white legs. To Ruan Qing, the two of them were already very familiar. For twenty-seven, although there is no marriage contract, it is already an intimacy that surpasses others.
There are times on the surveillance video, showing that Nana Qi will go out after she falls asleep in the past few days. She didn't notice it at all.
Ruan Qing stared at him and asked, "Why are you going out at night?"
He really wanted to marry Ruan Qing. Although the three matchmakers and six beauties in front of him could not come up with it, he should show some sincerity and be honest.
She said nothing, opened her phone, clicked on the video, and poked the tip of Twenty-Seven's nose: "Is it you?"
Sure enough, Ruan Qing took out the long knife that she had hidden on the top of the wardrobe and slapped it on the coffee table.
Twenty-seven has traveled through time for a full week. During these seven days, he and Ruan Qing have been facing each other day and night, living in the same room.
She pointed to the long knife on the coffee table: "You claim to be a coolie. But when I met you, you were dressed in night clothes, with your face covered and holding a knife, and there was blood on the knife. You, a 'coolie', I You can guess that they are the kind of coolies who fight and kill, right?"
Twenty-seven felt that this was not wrong, so he nodded: "Yes."
Twenty-seven already had a bad premonition, but felt that it was impossible and Ruan Qing would not be able to find out.
This person still looked like nothing had happened, and Ruan Qing felt that the veins in his forehead were beating.
That's why Twenty-seven hesitated to speak.
Ruan Qing asked: "Then tell me the truth and don't fool me. What do you do?"
"But now, I think it's still necessary to find out."
No, if he goes out to watch it at night, he must have watched it during the day. On the premise that he has watched it during the day, he still wants to go there at night.
Twenty-seven paused, unable to deny it, so he had to admit: "Yes."
It's just that the profession he is engaged in is really a side branch, and he is also attracting attention in the world. Ruan Qing has made it clear that he is an upright and good citizen. If he really says it, can she accept it
Ruan Qing calmly sat on the corner of the coffee table, crossed his legs, and said with great momentum, "Come on, come on, sit down, let's talk."
He looked carefully and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Twenty-seven heard the sound of stools rubbing against the ground from inside, and he probably guessed what she was doing.
Ruan Qing didn't answer him. She rubbed her forehead, spun around in circles, and came back to face Twenty-Seven: "So it's you?"
She turned and entered the bedroom.
Okay, everything is correct.
What's wrong with this? Or...what habit
Or, what occupational disease
"The profession of fighting and killing... If it is an official, a royal guard, an imperial guard, a six-door, a escort agency, a nursing home, etc., there is nothing that cannot be said, right?" Ruan Qing clapped his fingers one by one, "But if you don't say it, it means it is not the case. These are decent professions, but you are a villain, right?"
Who goes to see it at night
Ruan Qing rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.
Since he got a mobile phone, he has also learned to take photos and videos. The photo album on my mobile phone contains quite a few things I took in my spare time. But this perspective doesn’t look like it was taken from a residential building.
Ruan Qing had already begun to guess: "An illegal thief?"
He asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
Twenty-seven sat down on the sofa with his eyes and nose in mind.
"Where was this taken from?" he asked Ruan Qing with a frown.
He knew it was him just by looking at it. He took Ruan Qing's cell phone and looked at it carefully. He now knew that the cell phone could take photos and videos, but he was very careful because there was no one around at that time.
Twenty-seven pupils shrank suddenly.
Twenty-seven thought about his words: "I went out to take a look at the surroundings..."
Twenty-seven hurriedly denied: "No."
She is a clear-minded person. In fact, by now, it is time to tell her the truth.
Ruan Qing: "Snitch?"
Twenty-seven said: "Pitty theft cannot be brought to light."
Ruan Qing held his chin and looked at the heroic face of Nian Qi, and hesitated a little: "...Flower picker?"
If he was being hunted for this, he deserved it.
Twenty-seven didn't expect Ruan Qing to be so imaginative. She choked for a moment and said helplessly: "Don't make blind guesses."
He quickly puffed up his chest and solemnly promised: "I have never done anything like that, deceiving people in a dark room."
Ruan Qing pursed her lips and nodded, expressing her belief in him. When she was dressed more clearly, Nian Qi would always try to avoid looking at her, like a veteran cadre.
He has good looks and figure. If he didn't act so feudal, Ruan Qing would have wanted to seduce him.
I didn't dare, just because I was afraid of scaring this old antique.
But in fact, Ruan Qing was just testing the above. She actually had a guess about what Twenty-Seven was doing in ancient times. "A killer, right?" She looked directly at him and revealed the guess she had been holding back for a long time.
Twenty-seven froze.
He looked away from each other, and after a moment, he looked back again: "Did you know earlier?"
"Aha!" Ruan Qing folded his hands on his knees, straightened his back, and admitted.
Twenty-seven couldn't figure it out: "How did you know?"
"There are too many elements!" Ruan Qing complained, "Night-walking clothes, a mask, a long knife, blood on the knife, and the fact that you don't have any relatives means you are most likely an orphan, and your name is still twenty-seven."
Twenty-seven was puzzled: "What's wrong with calling twenty-seven?"
Ruan Qing rolled his eyes: "Twenty-seven is twenty-seven. This is not a name, but a number. It was so easy to guess. I thought at the time that this was a killer."
Twenty-seven is very incomprehensible.
Yes, his name is indeed a serial number, but how did Ruan Qing, a good citizen who had no involvement in the world, guess his identity based on this
After all, Twenty-Seven has only been in this world for a short time, and he still doesn’t understand how serious the information asymmetry between him and Ruan Qing is.
The Palace of Hell collects orphans and trains them to become killers. They don't give names, only numbers, because many people will never live to the day when they can wash their hands in a golden basin and give themselves a normal name and a normal life.
This is a secret, unknown and cruel life.
How could anyone outside the Palace of Hell be able to guess the whole picture just by relying on a number like "Twenty-seven"
But to Ruan Qing, all these elements in Twenty-Seven, put together, are simply popular settings that have been written badly in countless novels.
On Twenty-Seven's face, he wished he had kill written on the left cheek and hands written on the right.
Ruan Qing just didn't know the specific details yet, so she had to ask clearly: "Is it the kind that is done as a business and gets paid to kill people for others? Or is it the kind that is raised by an organization and has nothing to do at ordinary times? , the kind that will be sent out when something happens, and you will kill whoever you are told to kill?"
The latter one mentioned by Ruan Qing is also familiar to Nian Qi. The people who were chasing him before time travel were not the same kind. But what does it mean to "have nothing to do at ordinary times, but are sent out to kill people when something happens"
Ruan Qing stared at him with piercing eyes.
Twenty-seven said frankly: "The former one."
Ruan Qing: "Wow~"
Twenty-seven has learned so much these days, and suddenly realized why Ruan Qing was so careless when talking about "killer" and "killing", and even got a little excited -
Because those are too far away from her.
Because of the peace and prosperity in the prosperous times, the life of licking blood and brushing against death was to Ruan Qing, like a drama on TV or an electronic phone book on his mobile phone.
So a few days ago, when he was trying to solicit business on the street, those people looked at him as "sick."
Because things that Twenty-seven often came into contact with in the past, such as murder, revenge, and revenge, are too far away for these future people.
This is a world where killers are doomed to unemployment.
Twenty-seven was filled with emotion and unspeakable sadness, and couldn't help but lose consciousness for a moment.
Suddenly Ruan Qing's hand waved in front of his eyes, bringing him back to his senses: "Come on, change your clothes and follow me downstairs."
Twenty-seven: "?"
Although she didn't know what Ruan Qing wanted to do, Twenty-Seven obediently went to the bathroom, changed clothes, and followed Ruan Qing out.
While waiting for the elevator, Ruan Qing said, "It's my fault too. You have too many things to learn, so I missed this."
Twenty-seven asked: "What is it?"
Just as the elevator door opened, it was empty. Ruan Qing walked in, followed by Twenty-Seven.
Ruan Qing pointed upward: "That one."
Twenty-seven had seen that thing in the corner on top of the elevator several times, but never knew what it was. But there were many things in the world that he didn't know, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Ruan Qing told him: "Camera."
Having learned this name, Twenty-Seven thought about it for a moment, took out his mobile phone and pointed at the front and back ones: "Isn't this also called a camera?"
"Yes, because they are the same thing." Ruan Qing said.
If this thing is also called a camera, doesn't that mean... Twenty-seven suddenly raised his head and stared at that thing. If you think of the camera as an eye, from that angle you can have an unobstructed view of the entire elevator car.
Soon they reached the first floor, and Ruan Qing took him out. When passing by the lobby, he didn't say anything and just pointed to a certain location on the ceiling of the lobby!
Twenty-seven's eyes followed, and there was a shape there that was different from the one in the elevator.
After walking out of the building, Ruan Qing pointed his finger at the light pole outside the building again!
Along the way, Ruan Qing's finger pointed left and right, pointing all the way.
When they reached the fence of the community, Ruan Qing pointed upward. As if he felt that the momentum was not enough, he made a "please look" gesture with both hands.
Twenty-seven looked up—
There are cameras at intervals on the fence. No matter day or night, quietly and silently, staring at everything.
And twenty-seven clearly remembered that he had seen things with similar shapes in many places outside the community, in every nook and cranny that he could not remember.
The man from ancient times was sweating coldly. He felt that although the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him from behind.
In this world, there is nowhere to hide.
Ruan Qing also took him to the property company to take a look at the monitoring room. He saw small "TVs" all over the wall, and many of the "TVs" contained familiar places. Look carefully, they are all somewhere in the community.
There was also a security guard sitting there watching.
"Actually, the security guard didn't see you at all. You were too fast. But do you know why you were discovered?" Ruan Qing told him, "Did you see something on the fence every other section? It's different from the camera." Same. That's a far-infrared monitoring device."
"Our eyes can't see it, but it can detect moving things." "You jump back and forth from the wall, and it detects it, and it alerts you. It alerted several times, and the security team checked the surveillance video. Once it slowed down, Let’s find out this video.”
The cold sweat on Twenty-seven's forehead became even thicker.
The dragnet set up by the cameras is already shocking, but I didn’t expect that there are even more unimaginable things monitoring your whereabouts.
The on-site education was very effective. Ruan Qing was very satisfied, raised his fingers and turned to go home.
Twenty-seven quickly followed.
Back home, the ancient gold medal killer listened to the instructions honestly.
"It's not all your fault this time. It's also my fault. I should have reminded you of this earlier." Ruan Qing first conducted self-examination and self-criticism.
Then he put his hands on his hips and started to get angry, "That's right, I have a good plan. I thought that after I finish the project at hand, I will take a vacation to sort out your affairs, study with you, and drive." You go out and take a look around. I didn't expect there were people there, so I waited for them to fall asleep in the middle of the night and went out quietly."
Twenty-seven eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
