"How do you know I'm in State University?" Xu Le asked with his head lowered. Li Wei didn't notice the heavy heart of his companions, and said with a smile: "You entered the repair shop, and now many people know about it, I think that although this matter will not be any trouble, after all, it is your hard work. Something, I will always let you know."

no trouble? Really? Xu Le asked himself a question in his heart, but could not find any answer. The electric shock baton used some military-style craftsmanship. If the police station really wanted to investigate, would they find him and Uncle Feng's body, so as to find out his identity as a deserter

He should be angry that Li Wei lost the electric baton, because it was something he had repeatedly told before, but at this time, seeing Li Wei's satisfied and tired face, Xu Le's heart softened, and he didn't say anything. Said that for the past month, Li Wei's orphans have been scrambling for territory, and they are probably tired.

There should be a lot of weapons that have been exiled from the military to the black market. The electric shock baton is hidden in the scroll crystal screen. Although it is ingenious, it will not attract too much attention. Xu Le comforted himself like this in his heart, patted Li Wei's shoulder, and said seriously: "You can pretend that you have never seen that thing, but... It's the same sentence I said before, don't keep thinking about fighting and killing, in the future Always looking for a decent job.”

"What serious work is there in Donglin now? Didn't you see what the students who marched on the streets were arguing about? The unemployment rate has reached 30%, and this is not counting the elders who were resettled after the bankruptcy of the Crystal Mining Consortium." Li Wei stroked his curly blond hair and said stubbornly, "I want to stand out, but I don't want to live on welfare for the rest of my life."

"Parade?" Xu Le was taken aback. There have always been very few people interested in politics in Donglin District. The last time on Bell Tower Street was already a big event. Why are there still students who didn't study hard, but to go to the parade.

"Many people went to see the fun. It is said that it was organized by the Veterans Association." Li Wei took the heavy book from his hand and walked towards the street, explaining: "It seems to be the election of the capital star circle. What is the problem, the opposition party thinks it's unfair and organizes a federal march."

"Oh." Xu Le was worried and responded casually.

He and Li Wei, the orphans, knew nothing about politics, kept them at a distance, didn't want to touch, and were not interested. Although there is indeed injustice in the federal society, for example, the upper class headed by the Seven Great Families always has everything better than ordinary people, and those dark oppressions are always hidden under the light coat of law and justice... However, What does this have to do with them? They have grown up in injustice in their life, they have long been used to it, and it is difficult to be passionate.

Back at the repair shop on the fourth block of Panglan Avenue, Xu Le hesitantly told his boss Feng Yu about the news that the electric shock baton was intercepted by the police. To his surprise, Uncle Feng Yu was not worried at all, as if he felt that his identity as a military mechanic who defected would never be exposed.

This is indeed the case. In the next ten days, apart from being shocked by this federal parade, nothing new happened in Donglin Region. The gang battles used military-style weapons. This is just a small thing that can happen anytime and anywhere in the federal society. No big person will have the leisure to cast his eyes on this small repair shop.

However, Xu Le was still cautious. He always felt that there was an uneasy feeling. He always felt that the electric shock baton that fell into the hands of the police station would cause him some kind of trouble, but he didn't know whether the trouble was big or small. So he began to take the initiative to strengthen the practice of that set of movements, often returning to the mines to be company with those wild cats, constantly dancing stiff dances.

One day, Feng Yu sarcastically looked at the sweating man and said, "Don't you always think that personal power is useless in the face of metal machinery?"

Xu Le closed his eyes and felt the trembling of every muscle in his body, as well as the trend of those tremors becoming more and more obvious, trying to find the true effect of this tremor, trembling his voice, gritted his teeth and replied, "Until now, I have not changed. Thoughts, but the problem is, if the police really come to arrest us, you don't have the money to configure mecha... Of course, even if there is, I won't use it. Besides making myself stronger, what else can I do? Method?"

"Are you still worried about that stun stick?" Feng Yu frowned, not understanding why this child was so cautious by nature, he suddenly smiled and said, "Don't forget the chip on the back of your neck, in the first charter. Under the brilliance, if the police really want to arrest you, where can you escape? Are you going to be a refugee in Bermuda, or a traitor to the empire?"

A network of electronic surveillance throughout federal society could, in theory, control the occurrence of any crime. Xu Le did not panic after hearing this, and said seriously: "The gang is still there, you are a fugitive from the army and you are still alive, I believe you must have a solution."

"It's such a big breath. If someone in this world can remove the chip in his body without disturbing the federal surveillance network, then he will definitely win the Nebula Award." Feng Yu's smile was a little mocking, "You turned sixteen last week. Birthday, how to be cautious, but it is more than half-old man like me, it is really absurd."

Xu Le retorted: "Don't forget your mouth full of rotten teeth. You paid such a heavy price for a new dental record and not be arrested by the government and the military region, yet you are so embarrassed to mock me for being cautious."

Feng Yu shook his head helplessly without refuting.

The days were quieter day by day, and even Xu Le began to think that he was too timid. The two people in the repair shop didn't know that in this city, there was another person who fell into some kind of distress like them. That person is Bao Longtao, deputy chief of the Second Police Division, whose influence in the police department has been greatly diminished since embarrassing the governor's office a few months ago.

"If you want a piece of evidence, you have to make a report, and it takes two months to approve the report." Deputy Director Bao looked at the metal shaft in the vacuum bag on the table and laughed at himself. With his position, If it was placed in the past, where would it be necessary to have such trouble.

As soon as he thought of this, his hatred for those orphans became stronger. If it wasn't for the incident at Bell Tower Street, the report he requested would have been approved long ago, and the family in the capital star circle would not be against him. Not listening for so long. However, these days, he never dared to take revenge on the orphans, because he didn't know whether the face covered by the hat that night was a real federal agent.

Wearing gloves and taking out the metal shaft from the bag, Deputy Commissioner Bao squinted and looked at the delicate electric current generator inside, secretly wondering if it had anything to do with the electric shock baton held by the federal agent. Although a lot of this kind of military weapons have been dumped on the black market, the prices are extremely expensive, and those orphans should not have the financial resources.

After thinking silently for a long time, Deputy Director Bao decided to investigate this matter. Of course, he did not dare to investigate in person, but aimed at this electric baton. He wanted to confirm whether a federal agent had really entered Hexi Prefecture. .

In the capital star circle, Deputy Director Bao has several comrades in research institutions, who should be able to help with this. After filling in the recipient's address on the envelope of the official mail, Deputy Director Bao instructed the secretary to take out the evidence and send it to the Identification Section of the Seventeenth Research Institute of Shanglin District.

The lost deputy director just instinctively wanted to figure out this matter, but he did not expect that his small action would have a huge impact on the future of the Federation.
