The water in the bathtub was still hot, Li Yu held the bathtub to take a few deep breaths, then tilted his head back and covered his eyes with tired hands.

came back.

Tired.

After his own death in the last world, I don't know how it was, but I vaguely remember that when he was about to breathe, he was hugged tightly by a man.

Li Yu moved his hand away and stared at the ceiling, "Did he fall asleep again?"

1551 said, "After you died, he turned into dirt."

Li Yu's nose was sore and he was speechless. After a while, he rubbed his red eyes and stepped out of the bathtub.

There was thunder and lightning outside the window, and the big raindrops kept knocking on the glass, making the whole city unable to sleep.

Li Yu sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his hair. Because he had just experienced the crossing, his cerebral cortex was in a state of excitement.

Throwing the towel aside, he asked the system to take out the work diary, sat at the desk in front of the small lamp, and started rushing to work.

One stroke at a time, Li Yu wrote very carefully. As before, the harmonious places were directly replaced by code words.

When people are serious, time always flies fast.

Before knew it, it was ten o'clock, the excitement passed, and according to the regimen, it was time to sleep.

Li Yu wrote the last period, closed the book, and closed the cap.

He stretched and lay down on the bed, his upper and lower eyelids were fiery.

In the dimness, heard a buzzing vibration, and Qingming, the only one in the drowsiness, told Li Yu that there was a call.

The young man on the bed irritably turned over and covered his head with a quilt, "1551, who called?"

1551 said, "Unfamiliar number."

Li Yu suddenly woke up, "Mr. Zhuang?"

He also won't know why he thought of this person, it can only be attributed to intuition.

1551 said yes, "Hang up or answer?"

Li Yu said no, "I'll do it myself."

Reluctantly left the embrace of the bed, he reached for the phone, slid his fingertips, and put the receiver to his ear, "Mr. Zhuang?"

The person on the opposite side of the receiver was very nice, and Li Yu's voice was filled with indistinct warmth and joy.

The man choked his breath, cleared his throat, and said sorry in a low voice, "I made a mistake."

Li Yu, "..."

This is embarrassing, hang up, it seems impolite, don't hang up, you know what to say.

Li Yu was silent, waiting for the other party to hang up first.

The wall clock on the wall diligently walked in circles, and half a minute passed in an instant, and there was no sign of hanging up on the other end.

Li Yu couldn't help yawning and was heard.

Mr. Zhuang said, "I won't disturb your rest."

Li Yu said yes, "Goodbye, Mr. Zhuang."

He neatly removed the phone from his ear, and a second before his thumb touched the screen, he vaguely heard a good night from the receiver.

A night without dreams, when the morning light wakes up the earth, and when the whistle begins to sound in the street, the alarm clock rang.

Li Yu stretched out a hand with difficulty and pressed it off, and continued to sleep. Five minutes later, the alarm clock rang again, and the hand stretched out again to interrupt the noisy alarm.

After another five minutes, the alarm clock was no longer soft light music, but a passionate march.

The drowsiness that was repeatedly destroyed, finally fled in a hurry and hid.

Li Yu got out of bed and went to the bathroom with his eyes closed. He bent down, unscrewed the cold water and poured two hands on his face, feeling refreshed immediately.

1551 went online, "You don't have to wake up so early, the minister wants suppliers today, and I don't have time to see you."

Li Yu's action of squeezing toothpaste stopped, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

1551 said, "What's wrong with getting up early, you can take the opportunity to clean up."

Li Yu thought about it, and it was true that he hadn't cleaned up for a long time. He accelerated the washing speed and went to the kitchen to cook a bag of instant noodles.

In order to reward himself for his recent hard work, he deliberately fried an egg and two pieces of bacon.

Remembering that there seemed to be something else at home, Li Yu opened the refrigerator and pulled out a small piece of cheese from the corner that he didn't know when.

Cover the cheese slices on the noodles, spread the eggs and bacon, and serve.

1551 was pleased, "The last task was not done in vain."

According to the information it received, the host used to be a disabled person in the kitchen. He only stuffed white rice, cooked white porridge, and fried potatoes until it was mushy. The rest of the time, he was either ordering takeout or instant noodles.

Li Yu sucked and slipped the cheese instant noodles, so delicious that he almost cried.

He closed his eyes in enjoyment, chewed it carefully, swallowed it, and when he was about to take a second bite, the phone rang.

Pick it up and take a look, it's from the Administration.

Li Yu wiped his mouth and connected, "Minister."

Without any greetings, the minister said directly, "Come to the unit, the supplier of the traversal equipment arrives, and the TC staff will explain the upgraded equipment in an hour. Everyone must be there."

Li Yu hung up the phone, not wanting to complain.

Except for the minister, the front desk, and the psychiatrist in the entire department, he is the only staff member who performs tasks, and everyone from there.

The minister is really hypocritical.

Thinking of these things, Li Yu felt cheated.

The words "Villain Control Center" also sounded outrageous. Those who didn't know it thought it was a very powerful department. As a result, he was the only one in the whole group.

But on second thought, if he hadn't been hired at the beginning, it would have been impossible to meet the target.

Everything in the world has a causal relationship.

At the end of the short-lived sensibility, Li Yu ate the noodles in three or two times, drank the soup, and burped.

It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, just past the noon rush hour, and it took Li Yu less than half an hour to get from home to get off work.

Taking the elevator upstairs, the front desk of the department is doing makeup.

The girl put on lipstick and slapped powder on her face a few more times. She caught a glimpse of the young man approaching from her. She quickly put away the powder box and said with a smile, "Come on, the minister is busy, let you go back to your office and wait."

Li Yu didn't go to the office, but went to the psychological evaluation room.

The doctor was still the same doctor. When he saw the young man, he didn't ask anything, just took out the form for him to fill out.

Li Yu buried his head and turned in the papers in fifteen minutes.

Similar to the previous two evaluation results, my mental state is very good.

The doctor admired from the bottom of his heart, "With such a strong psychological quality as you, in the entire Central City, there is no second one."

Li Yu couldn't help being a little proud, "Really?"

The doctor couldn't help but learn from the scriptures, "Little boy, how do you maintain a good attitude, tell the doctor's uncle."

After thousands of years of human reproduction, the life expectancy of ordinary people can reach 300 years. As for people with special abilities, their strong genes and spiritual power determine that their lifespan will only be longer.

Correspondingly, the rate of human aging has also slowed down a lot.

In front of this, if it is not good, really have to call uncle.

Li Yu pursed his lips and decided not to struggle with the title, "Born."

Doctor,"……"

The doctor put down the pen, put his hands on his chest, and looked at the young man carefully. To be honest, he couldn't find the slightest arrogance.

It is estimated that, as the young man himself said, it was born.

Li Yu looked back at each other with wide eyes, "Is there any problem?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head, "No, you are so good, keep this mentality."

Li Yu nodded, "Can I go?"

"Of course." The doctor made a gesture of invitation.

It took 20 minutes at the psychiatrist, and before the minister called, Li Yu had to go back the same way, through the long corridor, to his office.

The office is as clean as the last time left, it should be cleaned.

Li Yu walked into the inner room and lay down on the cot, "1551, what is the minister doing?"

"Grooming."

"... teasing me?"

"No." 1551 said solemnly, "He is playing mousse, do you want to see it?"

"Thank you, no need." Li Yu decisively refused.

It can be seen that the Minister attaches great importance to equipment suppliers.

After shaking his toes twice, Li Yu couldn't help but ask again, "Is the supplier of the traversal equipment changed?"

"No, it's still the previous TC company, but the equipment has been upgraded. It not only needs a spiritual link, but also implants things in the body."

Li Yu, "It won't affect the body, right?"

1551, "I don't know much, you can wait and ask their docent."

"Oh, good." Li Yu put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes for a nap.

After a while, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the office.

The minister is visiting the departmental environment with people from TC company.

Among the staff, the most striking was the man who fell at the end.

The man was well-built and tall, wearing an ordinary suit with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Since the TC staff entered the Administration Building, the man has not said a word, and always wears a mask. The attitude of the staff with him is even more strange. He occasionally asks a question or two, and he is cautious and careful.

After the minister took the people around in a circle, he entered the conference room.

Seeing that Li Yu was not there, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he hadn't notified the young man in advance to come to the conference room.

The minister stood at the door and said to the front desk who was temporarily acting as an assistant, "Hurry up and call someone, hurry up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that someone was approaching. He turned around and saw that it was the man wearing a mask.

The man squinted slightly and asked, "If the staff is busy, we can wait for a while."

The minister glanced at the others in the conference room, quiet as a chicken.

He waved his hand hastily, "No, no, he'll be here soon."

The man nodded, his voice cold, "Can the conference room next door be used?"

"Yes." The Minister wondered, "Do you want to change a room?"

Another person got up and walked over and explained, "No, it's just that the technical explanation requires a relatively quiet environment. If all of us are in the conference room, it may affect the thinking of the explainer."

The minister suddenly realized that it is worthy of being a big company, and a mere technical explanation is so particular.

He made a gesture of invitation, "This way."

Most of the people in the conference room stood up and followed the man to the small conference room next door.

The small conference room is special, mainly to listen to the content of the meeting next door, so the two conference rooms are separated by a single-sided glass.

After entering the conference room, the minister instructed the front desk to bring tea, so he quietly stayed by the side.

This supplier has a high status in the Authority, and everything from time travel to human detection, large and small, is ordered from their home.

First, the price is fair, second, the service is in place. Third, and most importantly, all the equipment technologies provided by TC are specially developed for the needs of the Administration.

In some ways, the Authority and TC are a strategic partnership.

In the large conference room in front, Li Yu came in a hurry, and because he was not fully awake, people were a little confused.

The technician turned on the optical brain on his wrist and projected the PPT on the glass wall.

Li Yu was embarrassed to sit down and took out a small notebook and pretended to write notes.

As I was writing, I suddenly felt something was not right. I suddenly raised my head and looked straight ahead, "1551, why do I feel like someone is looking at me."

1551 did not respond.

Li Yu had no choice but to seek the answer himself, he first looked around.

Apart from the lecturer, there are three other TC staff members near him, all sitting on the same side as him, and everyone is very busy writing meeting minutes, thinking about technical points, and one is typing on the computer.

Obviously, the sight that caught his attention did not come from any of the three.

Moving his eyes, Li Yu set his eyes on the interpreter.

He was tall in life, wearing black-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt and jeans, typical of a technical man.

He always maintained a high-level talk, and only occasionally cast a glance in Li Yu's direction.

Not this person either.

Li Yu frowned, the sight just now was more aggressive, like a cheetah hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity, and it might jump out from a corner he couldn't see at any time, knocking people down, tearing them down, and swallowing them.

Between doubts, that feeling came again.

Someone was really looking at him, probably behind the glass.

"1551, is the opposite side of single-sided glass?"

Li Yu waited, waited, and the system still didn't make a sound. He tentatively asked, "Dead?"

1551, "As long as I don't format it, I can live a thousand years."

Li Yu pursed his lips, "So you just pretended not to be there?"

1551 changed the topic, "The small conference room next door is someone from TC company, they are listening."

The conference table was oval, and it was inevitable that someone would sit across from him and just look over.

Li Yu relaxed his vigilance, regained his senses, and found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the lecturer at all. After three minutes, the lecture was over.

Li Yu, "..."

The interpreter smiled, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Li Yu bit the bullet and said no.

The interpreter turned off his brain, took the documents on the table, and went straight out. The other three also buried themselves in packing their things, and went out one after another. They were in the corridor with the people in the next conference room, just blocking the door.

Li Yu wanted to wait for the people to leave before leaving, propped his chin, and looked out.

The minister was attentive and ready, with crow's feet laughing at the corners of his eyes, "It's still early, it's better to rest and have a cup of afternoon tea before leaving."

"We appreciate the kindness of Minister Chen, but we have important meetings later, so it is inconvenient to stay longer."

They are all busy people, and the minister expressed his understanding and saw off the guests in person.

The three who blocked the door left, Li Yu got up, and found that there was a straggler outside the door, who was standing there watching him.

Rounding up, he can be regarded as the little bearer of the Administration. Li Yu took the initiative to ask, "Do you need any help?"

The man pointed at his throat and shook his head.

Seeing that he was wearing a mask, and then contacting the action, Li Yu understood that it was a cold, and the smoke in his throat was uncomfortable.

Li Yu pointed to the front and took the man to the pantry.

After looking around, he couldn't find a disposable paper cup. He rinsed his thermos cup, filled it with warm water and handed it over.

The man didn't dislike it either. He turned his back and took off his mask and took a sip, but he didn't return the cup immediately, but held it tightly with both hands.

Just then, there was a rush of running in the corridor.

The minister came with a TC staff member, and when they saw the two people in the pantry, the TC staff were obviously relieved, "It can be considered that they have found you."

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but turned his voice in an emergency, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you downstairs."

Li Yu felt distressed when he saw the man holding the cup and didn't let go, but said on his face, "If you don't dislike it, you can take the cup with you. You can drink water on the way."

The man's dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Thank you."

His voice was hoarse and low, and through this nasal sound, it was indeed like a cold.

Li Yu shook his head, and out of the corner of his light caught a glimpse of the minister giving him a thumbs up.

The minister cleared his throat, "Little Li, go see the two of you."

The two did not refuse, and walked out one after the other. Li Yu took the person to the elevator and said goodbye politely.

The elevator door slowly closed, and when he turned to return, he caught a glimpse of a red ear through the gap in the metal door.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then swept back, the elevator had already descended, and only saw a stupid face exactly like him on the door.

The minister sent off the distinguished guest, in a good mood, and made a cup of Tieguanyin for himself.

Before the tea was cold, a knock was heard on the door.

The minister said and came in, took a slow sip of the strong tea, and looked at the young man, "Since you are here, by the way, tell me your experience on this task, and show me the work diary as well."

Li Yu said, "The task is not easy to do, we must continue to work hard."

The corner of the minister's mouth twitched, and when someone else dared to be so perfunctory, he slapped him earlier, but this one wasn't right in front of him, so he adjusted his expression, "Just know, give me the diary, and I'll learn more about it."

Li Yu handed over the diary with obedient hands, went to wait in the corridor, and then let the system invade the minister's computer.

The chubby leader didn't touch his diary, but focused on checking the red-headed file inside.

Waiting for the minute hand to move for half an hour, the minister came out and returned the diary.

"The records are very detailed, which is good."

"Thank you, Minister." Li Yu was not stupid enough to break it, and buried his diary into his backpack.

The minister pressed the young man's shoulder and instructed carefully, "At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, come to the unit and inject the chip into you."

Li Yu nodded, put on his schoolbag and went home.

The next morning, he arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he entered the Administration Building, he saw many strangers in white coats coming in and out.

He walked into the elevator, pressed the floor button, and found that several white lab coats were going to the same place as him.

Li Yu swallowed, vaguely guessing something.

When they got to the department floor, the people in white coats went out first, and they went straight forward. It was obvious that this group of people had come up at least once before nine o'clock.

When passing by the front desk, the girl stopped Li Yu, "The minister asked you to go directly to the control room."

The brainwave shuttle connector is mainly stored in the shuttle control room. Li Yu guessed that after the equipment is upgraded, it should be re-connected with his mental power.

Sure enough, as soon as the minister saw him, he waved and said, "Come on, I'll be waiting for you."

Establishing a spiritual link is also one of the procedures when applying for a job.

Li Yu lay down skillfully, letting the white coats stick the sensor to his forehead.

The moment he pressed the switch, Li Yu clearly felt his body was light and his soul was about to fly.

Only thirty seconds before and after, all right.

The minister personally helped the person down and took them to another instrument. The white coats moved their positions and took out a mechanical arm from a silver metal box.

The robotic arm is equipped with AI and is a small medical device newly launched by TC in recent years.

Li Yu's palms were spread out and placed on the cushion.

A finger of the robotic arm popped out, and a needle as thin as a silver thread extended from the fingertip.

The needle pierces the skin without pain or itching.

In the blink of an eye, the needle was pulled out, and Li Yu was freed.

The white coat stepped forward and explained, "The injection is a nano-chip, mainly to detect the condition of your body and soul, as well as the positioning. The material of the chip is similar to that of human cells and will not cause any side effects."

Li Yu snorted dryly, "Why do you dig into the ring finger of your left hand?"

It gives people an inexplicable sense of ritual, strange swish.

The white coat said softly, "There is no reason, just randomly selected."

The other party said so seriously, Li Yu would be embarrassed to force him again, and he would appear to be an unprofessional.

The minister patted the young man on the shoulder boldly, "Go back and have a good rest, ready to cross at any time."

Li Yu's mood suddenly became complicated. When he reached the corridor, he wondered, "Minister, is there no other way to cross? I almost drowned in the bathtub last time."

The minister shook his head, "You can only follow the circumstances."

Li Yu was shocked, can this kind of thing happen? ? ?

As if he didn't see the expression of Bao Bao's subordinates, the minister said deeply, "Everyone has his own way of crossing, which is beyond our control."

He paused and comforted him honestly, "The time flow in the central city is very different from that in the small world. Generally speaking, there will be no problems."

Li Yu, "In case."

"There is no case." The minister said solemnly, "If there is an accident, the chip in your finger will be fed back to the bureau in time, and I will send someone to rescue you."

Li Yu was relieved. It seems that this equipment upgrade is mainly aimed at the safety of the staff.

Suddenly remembering something, the minister reminded, "We have associations with other departments on Wednesday. Let's go climbing the mountain, you can join us too."

Since preparing for the exam, Li Yu has never had a good rest, and it is not bad to relax.

Wednesday morning was pleasant and sunny.

Li Yu stuffed the snacks he bought the day before into his backpack and took a luxury taxi.

When they arrived downstairs in the management bureau, the bus had just arrived, and the minister was handing a cigarette to the driver, chatting with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the young man had arrived, he hurriedly approached and greeted people to get on the bus.

Li Yu came to the last row and sat down by the window, plugging in his headphones.

At the time of a song, people from other departments arrived one after another. When they saw the strange young people, everyone didn't feel surprised or embarrassed at all, and they came forward to say hello.

Li Yu responded with a smile, and finally set off when his facial muscles were about to freeze.

The car passed through the bustling and lively neighborhoods and drove onto the highway.

The people in the car were in high spirits, and a department leader stood up and proposed to sing. At this time, there is no shortage of people to cater to them enthusiastically.

Singing and rhythmic applause gradually sounded in the dull car. These voices hovered in Li Yu's ears. Coupled with the slight shaking of the car while driving, his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

With a sharp turn, he leaned, and with a thud, his head hit the car window.

The pain followed, Li Yu tried to open his eyes, but found that the cheerful voices around him were getting farther and farther, until they disappeared and were replaced by rough crows.

Li Yu, "..."

Come, come, come again.
