"Leah is your leader? This is probably the most shocking news I've heard today. It's even more shocking than Black Nest conquering all of Europe, "Zhang Heng said.
"That's because you don't know her well. Like her brother, she's a born fighter. After Edward's death, she became the most determined anti-CTOS activist. She united many people with her charisma and unyielding spirit."
"Where are they now?"
Little Boy sighed, "We're fighting a war we can't win."
"It's hard to believe that you would say something so discouraging," Zhang Heng said. "I know you. You never give up easily."
"I'm just stating the facts. Besides, this war has been going on for twelve years. I'm tired, too." Little Boy finished the milk in her glass in one gulp.
"Then why do you still risk getting caught by destroying the cameras on the street?"
"It's just to send a message to those who still have doubts about CTOS that there are still people in this city who are fighting back. Also, Z's second trial is about to begin. Black Nest has appointed three judges, and the jury is also their people. We have no chance of winning, but we have to do something."
"One last question. How do I find Leah?" Zhang Heng also drank his glass of milk.
"I don't know. Black Nest has been hunting her, so her whereabouts are a secret even in 01. If you want to get close to her from me, you'd better give up. I don't know where she is, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." Little Boy put away the two empty glasses on the table.
"I've answered all your questions and bought you a glass of milk. You're welcome. We're even now. If there's nothing else, you can leave my place."
Little Boy ignored Zhang Heng after she finished speaking. She turned around and walked to the sink. When she finished washing the two glasses in her hands, Zhang Heng was still sitting in the same place.
"What's wrong? Do you need me to open the door for you?"
"I don't have any identification on me."
"Oh, I sympathize with your tragic experience, but you can go to the police first. Then, bring the proof of loss, a copy, or an electronic version to your country's embassy."
"I don't have a copy, nor do I have an electronic version. In fact, I doubt whether my country still keeps my identity information." "As I said, this world is different from the one I'm familiar with. There are no traces of my activities here."
"Ha, is it your theory of parallel universes again? I have to admit, you're pretty good at the continuity of your nonsense."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"If, and I'm saying if, what you said is true, then you'll be in big trouble. Without any identity information, we won't be able to find your country. Maybe you'll be locked up until you die of old age. Anyway, no one cares if you live or die."
"In that case, I can only try to avoid dealing with the police and not get locked up." Zhang Heng got up. "Thank you for your consulting services. It's nice to see you again."
After that, he walked to the door. Just as his fingers were about to touch the doorknob, the little boy's voice came from behind him again.
"Wait."
The little boy's expression seemed to be a little conflicted. After a while, he sighed and said, "Do you have money on you?"
"No, but I can borrow some cash from a 'kind' passerby," Zhang Heng said. "Although this is not in line with my usual style of doing things, survival is always the first priority, isn't it?"
"Do you know the operating rules of CTOS? Do you know the distribution of cameras in this city? Do you know who can be friends and who can be enemies?" The little boy frowned. "Even if you commit a crime, you're just a rookie in the criminal world. It won't take long for the police to catch you."
"I don't think so. Believe me, it's definitely not easy to catch me," Zhang Heng said and opened the door.
"What if I'm willing to offer you a job?"
"Huh?" Zhang Heng stopped.
"And a place to stay," the little boy added. "You don't have an ID, so you can't stay in a hotel. I can take you in, but you can only sleep on the sofa, and you must listen to me. Do whatever I ask you to do. Of course, I won't ask for too much. On the other hand, I will teach you how to survive in CTOS, how to avoid cameras, anti-tracking … Also, you will be responsible for feeding the baby crocodile every day."
"… Did you really name your cat a baby crocodile?"
"You just need to tell me if you agree or not," the little boy said with a straight face.
"I also want to learn your communication skills," Zhang Heng said.
"If your performance meets my requirements, I can consider it."
"If that's the case, I don't think I can find a reason to refuse." Zhang Heng closed the door. "Can I ask why you suddenly changed your mind and are willing to let me stay?"
"A word of advice. Mind your own business and don't ask so many questions." The little boy turned and walked into her bedroom. She took out a quilt and laid it on the sofa. "I only have two sets of quilts. This one is a little thinner, but you're in good health. You shouldn't freeze to death. I'll go get you some daily necessities tomorrow. Make do with it tonight."
"Where's the pillow?"
"Are you asking for a mile after taking an inch?"
"I prefer to call this a basic human need."
"There's no extra pillow. Do you want the baby crocodile's cat cushion?"
Zhang Heng glanced at the British Shorthair. The British Shorthair seemed to have sensed something, and it glared at him as if saying, Why don't you try?!
"I don't think it will agree to this proposal."
"You're so troublesome. I have old clothes that I don't want. I'll give them to you," Little Boy said.
"Thank you."
After Little Boy finished laying the sofa, she found a pair of slippers, a towel, and a toothbrush for washing. "Don't use my cup for brushing your teeth. Before I buy you a new cup, rinse your mouth directly at the faucet. When you pee, be sure to lift the toilet lid. The water heater is a very old model. Let it preheat before taking a shower. In winter, you have to shower within twenty minutes, or the water will be cold. If you lose too much hair, it will clog the floor drain, so you have to clean it in time. You can eat the food in the fridge, but you have to put it on the tab and deduct it from your salary. We'll split the utility bills.
Do you have any questions? "" Uh, if I live here, will there be a problem if your boyfriend sees me? "
"I don't fall in love."
"But if it's twelve years, you should be 29 years old now."
Little Boy's body swayed, and she turned off the lights in the living room. "Go to bed early. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow."
