Beijing, inside an unmarked courtyard...
The middle-aged team leader, who was commanding the operation from a distance, looked at the arrested white man on the screen. Picking up his headset, he asked, "Does he have anything from the warehouse?"
"No.
They are all special excavation tools. "
"What about the black man?
Why did you only catch one?
There should be another one. "
"Leader, we only found one.
The other one might still be in the tunnel.
But … "The police officer in front of the screen hesitated.
"But what?"
"Before the white man got out of the tunnel, we heard his companion's screams."
"Screams?" The middle-aged team leader subconsciously tightened his grip on his headset, his hair standing on end.
"Yes." The police officer nodded. He then glanced at the tunnel and asked in a low voice, "Leader, are we still going in?"
"No!" the middle-aged team leader said hurriedly. "No one is allowed to go in!
Retreat!
Only leave the necessary personnel behind. We'll decide after the interrogation. "
"Yes, sir." The police officer on the screen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After disconnecting the video call, Xiao Li, who stood beside the middle-aged team leader, hurriedly handed him a thick folder.
"Leader, the thermal photos of the target warehouse have just been sent over!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged team leader immediately grabbed the folder and tore it open. He then pulled out several photos and carefully observed them.
"Dog?
Where did the dog come from? "
"I … I don't know.
But according to the image analysis, it is indeed a dog. "Xiao Li pointed at the photo and said," This is the black agent's head.
His body seems to be stuck in the tunnel. "
"…" After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged team leader flipped through a few photos and asked, "Only these two?"
"No."
Xiao Li shook his head, his expression concealing his fear. "According to the analysis of the thermal photos, there should be another person inside.
B-But that person cannot be detected by heat, radiation, electronic scanning, or any other means. "
A chill ran down the middle-aged team leader's spine. "H-How is that possible?"
"If not for the abnormal distribution in the thermal photos, we wouldn't have discovered him at all …" Xiao Li said in a trembling voice. "He's like a ghost …"
…
At this time, inside the warehouse...
This ghost, Little Peach, was currently squatting on the ground, staring at the black man's head.
She couldn't appear in the thermal photos because she was a robot. The skin simulation system's temperature would change according to the surrounding temperature.
It will not actively heat it unless necessary.
She couldn't appear in X-ray and electronic scans because her dermat-like system had a "mirror guide" function that prevented electromagnetic radiation or electronic pulses from damaging the components in her body.
Therefore, separated by a thick wall, her form could not be detected by ordinary technology.
"You … who are you?!"
The black man gulped nervously as he stared at Little Peach.
"And who are you?" Little Peach asked.
"You … tell me who you are first."
Frowning, Little Peach picked up a small iron rod from the ground and poked the black man in the head. "Are you human?
Why did you leave your head here? "
"You … you … you're not a human?" The black man's expression was one of horror.
"You're the one who doesn't look like a human," Little Peach said as she poked the black man's ear with a small iron rod. "Are these real ears?"
"Don … Don't come in!"
"I'll just rub against you outside. I won't hurt you."
"Don't!
Ouch!
Oh my god!
It hurts! "
"Wow!
It's bleeding! "
Surprised, Little Peach said, "Those are real ears!"
"Ah!" The black man gritted his teeth in pain. "You bastard!
Let me go! "
"Wait here for a moment."
Standing up, Little Peach opened the Interstellar Portal and grabbed a small hammer from her bedroom. She then walked back and crouched before the black man.
"W-What are you trying to do?!" The black man was horrified.
"I'm trying to see if your teeth are real." After saying so, Little Peach struck the black man with the hammer.
Clang!
Amidst the violent vibrations of the ultrasonic waves, one of the black man's front teeth fell out, and he screamed, "Ah!"
"Really?!" Little Peach's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you really human?
Why are you still alive with only your head? "
"Gulp."
Swallowing a mouthful of blood, the black man glared at Little Peach fiercely. "My body is stuck down there!
It's not just my head!
Who are you?!
If you want to kill me, just do it! "
"I can't kill people."
"Then … Let me go!"
"You want to tell me who you are first?"
"I … I'm a plumber. Yes!
I'm an underground water plumber! "
Hiding the killing intent in his eyes, the black man awkwardly explained in Chinese, "I was repairing a water pipe and accidentally dug the wrong one. I'm sorry.
Let me go. "
"Oh?" Growing suspicious, Little Peach asked, "Really?"
"Really!"
While racking his brains, the black man nodded repeatedly. "I … Originally, I felt that something was wrong when I saw the cement layer. When I poked my head in, I discovered that I had indeed dug the wrong one.
I'm sorry. I'll compensate you. "
"Give me the money." Little Peach stretched out her fair hand.
Stunned by Little Peach's words, the black man immediately grew overjoyed. "You have money!
The money is in my pocket! If you send me back to the tunnel, I'll compensate you with all the money. "
"Really?" Little Peach's eyes glowed.
"Really!
I promise!
I swear! "
"Okay!"
Nodding excitedly, Little Peach stood up and lifted her left foot.
"Huh?
W-Wait a minute!
When I say send, I mean … "
Boom!
"× _ × …"
"I'm going in!"
Little Peach jumped in joy. Afterward, she leaned against the entrance of the tunnel and looked at the black man sliding deeper into the tunnel. She then shouted, "Hello?
Give me the money! "
Inside the tunnel: "…"
"Where's the money?"
"…"
"Are you trying to scam me?!"
"…"
"I'll help you!
Hurry up and pay up! "Little Peach's anger gradually grew." Hey!
You ran away? "
"…"
"You're lying!
Pay up! "
"…"
After sliding down the steep tunnel for several meters, the black man's eyes rolled back and he lay motionless at the bottom of the pit …
"I knew it!
You humans are so cunning! "
Boom!
Little Peach stomped her foot in dissatisfaction. Her stomp immediately created a hole in the cement floor.
"Not only am I not paying up, but I'm not even compensating you! How am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Chen?!
Crap! "Pouting, Little Peach blocked the tunnel entrance with the surrounding bricks and cement.
Afterward, she moved her heavy hibernation pod over and crushed it.
"I absolutely cannot let Mr. Chen know that the house is damaged. Otherwise, it will be bad for his health if he gets angry."
"So, I'm not lying. I'm doing this to ensure that my owner's health is not harmed. I'm doing this in accordance with the Three Laws of Robotics."
"Yes, that's it …"
Inside the tunnel …
Awakened by the tremors above, the black man opened his eyes in a daze. He then clutched his aching head, a blank look on his face.
"Who am I?"
"Where is this?"
"What am I doing?"
…
By the time Chen Yu returned home from school, it was already 7: 10 PM.
As soon as he entered the house, his three little sisters immediately pounced on him.
Chen Yike: "You're home too late!"
Chen Erke: "Dog!"
Chen Sanke: "You're home too late!
Dog! "
Scratching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, "Why do I get the feeling that you're swearing?"
"Big Brother!
Dog! "Grabbing Chen Yu's clothes, Chen Erke dragged him toward the bedroom door." The dog is starving. "
"Got it. I'll open the door now. Stop dragging."
Pulling out the key, Chen Yu looked around and asked, "Where's Mom?"
"Mom went to a party and didn't come back. She told us to cook for ourselves," Chen Yike said anxiously. "We can let Pikachu out to get some fresh air."
Creak …
Unlocking the door, Chen Yu pushed open the door and entered the house. He then grabbed the husky on the ground and tossed it into Chen Yike's arms. "Take it out to play. Don't disturb me."
Bang!
After saying so, Chen Yu locked the wooden door from the inside.
"Mr. Chen, you're back!
Hehehe! "Little Peach exited her invisibility state and smiled at Chen Yu with her arms behind her back.
"Mhm.
I'll be reviewing Xiaomi's mobile phone tonight. Get ready and show your status online in advance. "
"Understood!
Hehe … "
"Huh?" Frowning, Chen Yu asked, "Why are you smiling so awkwardly?"
"I'm not!"
"Did you cause trouble for me again?"
"Absolutely not!"
Patting her chest, Little Peach said, "I'm very happy. I sold another app today and earned over 100,000 yuan for you."
"Over 100,000 yuan?" Chen Yu was surprised. "What a show!"
