"Awesome!"
In the evening, Huai Shi scrutinized the notice posted outside the waiting room, and was dumbfounded. "Even the luxury train will be late?"
"It's just late, it's not an explosion. There are bound to be things that no one wants to happen."
Crow, who was on his shoulder, said calmly, "Besides, if the train really had to leave on time, it would have left yesterday. How can you make it in time to buy a ticket today? "
"To be honest, I have a hunch that this lousy train will really explode."
Huai Shi rubbed the space between his eyebrows, pushed the door open, and entered. Then, he felt the strange atmosphere in the exclusive waiting hall of The Star.
It was completely different from what he had expected. There was no warm atmosphere, no relaxed chatter, and no scene of a family of three traveling together happily.
There was only coldness and solemnity as they guarded against each other.
"What's going on?"
Huai Shi's face twitched, and he froze at the door.
.
.
Twelve hours ago, after unhappily deciding on this impromptu "sweet" trip, Huai Shi took out his mobile phone and applied for leave on the internal application of the Astronomical Society.
At the same time, he also saw his poor attendance rate … If his salary could be deducted, then his salary for the next year would be deducted.
However, Huai Shi didn't care.
Who asked him to have so much Pure Gold in his pocket? He was rich!
To his surprise, the leave was approved very quickly. This time, the Jinling administration was exceptionally generous. Even though Huai Shi had casually filled in the excuse of a border trip, they still gave him a full ten days.
Could it be that they had considered the fact that Huai Shi had just risked his life to complete a big task, and thus specially gave him a leave of absence?
Thinking about it this way, the Astronomical Society was not as heartless as he thought. Occasionally, they would sympathize with the low-level employees.
However, not long after, Chai Fei, who was far away in Jinling, sent him the coordinates of a restaurant on WeChat.
She also attached a smiling emoji and asked him.
"Can you ask the kind-hearted person who approved your leave for a sponsored partnership?"
The corners of Huai Shi's mouth twitched.
Then, can you please return my gratitude to the organization just now?
Most of Huai Shi's impression of the Jinling branch came from Ai Qing, who claimed to be her best friend, but Ai Qing never acknowledged her as her best friend.
The main reason was that this big sister's skill in skiving was simply too high, and from the bottom of their hearts, they respected her as the strongest.
Not only could he slack off, but he could also bring others along with him. It was just like running a dungeon … He was just short of starting a slacking training class and becoming the little helper of every group to slack off.
Most importantly, he was easy to talk to!
As long as he treated her to a meal, all the procedures would be easily settled!
The restaurant she sent was not expensive per person, but the heat from the pictures made Huai Shi's eyes twitch wildly.
Alright.
Chai Fei wasn't even afraid, so why was he worried for her?
After the takeout was sold, he successfully received an increase in Chai Fei's favorability towards him. He also received an occasional tip: The end of the year is the month of statistics, and the accountants in the bureau will have to work overtime for a long time.
And before that, please remember to quickly spend this year's budget …
Thus, Huai Shi unceremoniously used public funds to book the rest of the trip. His movements were skillful and fast, without the slightest hesitation.
It was not until after the booking that he noticed the strange gaze of Crow next to him.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm just wondering …" Crow shook his head and sighed, "Where did the refreshing and upright young man go?"
"Let me think, he was probably angered to death by a Crow?" Huai Shi rolled his eyes and looked at her, "We are also looking for the criminal, do you have any clues?"
"I don't see him, maybe you're looking in the wrong place?"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes."
…
Thus, the night passed without a word.
The next day, Huai Shi got up early in the morning, picked up his luggage, and began his day-long journey … First, he took a train to the train station, then the high-speed train to Jinling, then he took a special underground line in Jinling to the nearest public border 'Stone City'.
Yes, it was the place where Huai Shi decided to run away with his boss.
As a large open border, Stone City's internal development was quite advanced, and there were many things in the Discovery Realm. At the same time, the location was also within the range of the big secret, so safety and order were guaranteed.
After years of continuous immigration, the population had successfully exceeded 300,000, and could almost be regarded as a peripheral town of Jinling.
Although a small number of ordinary people who came to the border would have a period of time when they were not acclimatized. But after so many years, no matter what the situation was, there were already measures and plans to deal with it. Nothing major would happen, and they would be able to adapt in about a week.
Therefore, the streets were full of people coming and going, and it looked very lively.
It was not much different from the Discovery Realm.
The most obvious difference … was the Endless Sea that was always gray and gloomy above his head, right?
Huai Shi stood at the entrance and looked up at the distant waves and sails above his head.
The absurd illusion of heaven and earth being upside down made him feel a little light-headed.
No matter how many times he saw it, he could not adapt.
"Will it really not collapse?"
Huai Shi could not help but scratch his chin. He was full of worry.
"Although it's a bit of groundless fear, you may not have figured out that this is no longer the Discovery Realm … In the framework here, the phenomenon of gravity is just a set of values, do you understand?"
"…"
"Yes, even if you can see the endless sea above your head, this is just the relative position shown in the passage frame.
It does exist there, as a medium formed by the change of depth between all the borders of the Asian region, but this is just a phenomenon. Even if it collapses one day, it will not hit this border. Even if it does, as long as the gravity value is adjusted, it can be easily bounced away. “
Crow explained, "Moreover, the benefits of its existence outweigh the disadvantages. Thanks to the existence of this thing, there are routes and flights between the various borders.
Just like the underground highways in Europe, the sky zipline in America, and the huge land city of the Russian Federation that can be used in the iron rain … "
Seeing that Huai Shi was still puzzled, she could not help but shake her head, "You can just treat it as a background setting, just like the dynamic maps in the game. Don't think too much about it."
Huai Shi suddenly realized, "You should have said so earlier!"
"No, I just didn't expect my contractor to be so uncultured …"
Crow sighed.
She deeply felt that her life as a bird was not easy.
.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, there was no chance to experience the customs of the border in detail.
After taking a quick look, Huai Shi took a taxi to the ride point mentioned on the card, which was a very old-looking station.
The journey was unimpeded, and there was not even a ticket checker.
According to Crow's analysis, even the station itself was a projection of the border, like a mirage, existing between reality and illusion.
If one didn't have a ticket, they wouldn't even be able to see the station, let alone enter.
After Huai Shi entered the station, the first thing he saw was the super unprofessional late notice.
Although Huai Shi was able to get on the train because of it, as a distinguished customer who spent money, it was inevitable that he would be unhappy to see this notice.
Too unprofessional!
"You have to think positively." Crow whispered in his ear, "It's better than a limited event, right?"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
"Are these things all limited and free of charge?"
"Of course, the operating company also needs to earn money! Well, it's better to say that Aeon Investment is not short of money, and this kind of thing happens occasionally.
Let the vast majority of passengers who used to lie on the roof also feel the charm of the luxury train, and there are guest books that can never be seen anywhere else, and enjoy an unprecedented ride experience.
Although there will be a lot of 'average' comments in the review section, it will make people feel that the faster the better, the harder it is. You can't help it … "
"I don't understand what you are talking about at all!"
Huai Shi sighed and glanced at the strange atmosphere in the waiting room, "And … what is this situation?"
In the waiting room, it was solemn and cold.
There was no soft atmosphere, and there was not even the slightest bit of cheerfulness when people went out for a trip.
When Huai Shi pushed the door open and entered, the people sitting on the chairs suddenly looked over, their calm expressions faintly containing vigilance.
After seeing that the newcomer was just an 'unarmed' teenager, most of them withdrew their gaze.
The remaining small group of people looked at his face, as if they had seen it somewhere before. Soon, some of them withdrew their gaze as if they had been electrocuted, and a few of them became more and more vigilant.
It was as if they regarded Huai Shi as a potential enemy.
… Most of the people who were traveling with him hated him as soon as he entered the door?
Huai Shi was confused.
What the hell was going on?
"Are you not aware of how famous you are?"
Crow shook his head, "For someone like you who has an organization, a unit, insurance, and a fixed annual leave every year, a double year-end salary, and an extra year-end bonus. You are also a lackey of the Astronomy Society who has been on TV before. Everyone has the right to punish you, okay?"
After Huai Shi heard this, he felt that this group of people's hatred was f * cking reasonable.
He wanted to hit himself a little.
"Anyway, find a seat first." Crow withdrew his gaze, "In a few minutes, the bus will be here. I will explain it to you when we get on the bus."
Huai Shi looked around.
He found that most of the luxurious waiting room, which was decorated and displayed like a café, was already full of people, and Huai Shi did not want to sit with those who were hostile to him.
There was only one seat next to the table in the corner, but there was another person sitting there, his back facing Huai Shi. He could only see a bowl of noodles in front of him, and an old briefcase under the chair.
He was wearing a gray suit that was not very high-end.
He was also the only person who did not turn around when he heard Huai Shi push the door open.
He was completely focused on eating his noodles.
It was as if he was enjoying something delicious …
Huai Shi walked over and asked softly, "Can I sit here?"
"Hmm?"
The man who was eating the noodles slowly raised his head, causing Huai Shi to suck in a breath of cold air.
He was shocked.
The greasy feeling that hit him in the face, the listless and numb breath, the pale face that seemed to be ready to die on the street at any time, and the eye-catching dark circles under his eyes …
How many overtime hours did he work?!
He clearly did not look old, only thirty years old, but the roots of his hair were already showing signs of gray.
Big Brother, where did you come from, you bastard from?
After seeing Huai Shi, the other party seemed to be stunned for a moment.
The man in the gray suit looked at the young man in front of him, and then looked at Crow on his shoulder. Soon, he politely pulled out a chair.
"Both of you, please sit."
Even when he spoke, there was a lingering tiredness in his voice.
Then he lowered his head and continued to eat his noodles.
He ate attentively and sweetly, slowly tasting it, as if there was a peerless delicacy in front of him that could be eaten for twenty-four hours!
