Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 9: Rietta's gig life (4)

At six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, Celluloid ended her day's work. Because Fran was hospitalized, she started to work on top of the shift after she came back from the technical department. She didn't come to replace her until the part-time work time was over. She carried it on her back and put it on the counter. The small bag inside, Cellulu beat her waist as she walked towards the elevator.

"It's been a long day, I'm exhausted." The elevator door opened, and Cellulu stepped into the crowded elevator. At this time, it was the busiest time in the department store, and the customers who came for dinner were crowded up and down. elevator.

Suddenly, she felt her bag move slightly, but Cellulu didn't care. After all, it was so crowded that bumps and bumps were inevitable.

Ding~~~~, the reminder sound of the elevator at the end, squeezed out of the elevator along with the flow of people, turned her neck to ease her fatigue, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, it was the brown-haired boy. Just like her, she just got out of the elevator.

Cellulu immediately greeted the other party in surprise.

"Ah, it's you again, what a coincidence, I met you again."

Cellulu found that every time she saw this young man, the other party always smiled, just like at this time, the young man had a bright smile even with a really surprised expression on his face.

"Ala, it's really a coincidence that it's you, Miss." The boy walked over to Cellulu and said with a smile.

"I haven't thanked you properly for the morning. Thanks to you for coming forward, otherwise it would really be endless." Cellulu bowed to the other party with a sincere expression.

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience." The young man waved his hand and smiled casually. It seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart.

After thanking her, she felt embarrassed that she didn't know what to say next. Although she had met this young man several times, and the other party had also made a move, this didn't change the fact that the two were strangers who didn't know each other at all. .

She hesitated there, although she wanted to invite the other person to a meal to express her gratitude, but suddenly inviting a stranger to dinner was not something that Celluloid did, and the two strangers were just nodding acquaintances. It seems a little too intimate.

Even though her introverted personality has changed a lot over a long period of time, it is impossible for her to become an extroverted personality. It is impossible for Cellulo to get to know a stranger.

Therefore, after a brief cold session, Cellulu embarrassedly thanked again. "Anyway, thank you anyway, Er, then, I won't bother you, goodbye."

Nodding to the boy, Cellulu turned and left as if fleeing.

The young man didn't leave her, smiled and nodded, watching her leave, but the moment she turned around, she showed a conspiracy-like smile.

I didn't ask the other person's name, and I didn't want to further develop the relationship. There are always such encounters in life. People who meet by chance will never meet again after one encounter, just like two lines that cross for a short time. It's just getting farther and farther. At this time, Cellulu thinks about the boy this way, but she doesn't know that she will have a deeper involvement with this boy in the future.

Back at the hotel, Celluloid fell on the bed. She still had a job to do at night. She didn't keep her energy up now. She would be sleepy at night and didn't have the strength to stand guard. Cellulo yawned in confusion and slowly fell asleep. .

----------------------------------

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, on the top floor of the Keqi company building, there were light footsteps in the corridor that should have been empty. A figure gradually approached in the darkness, walking towards the new product collection room at the end of the front. During the day, the brown-haired boy was wearing a red sleeveless waistcoat, white loose trousers, and flat-bottomed shoes. He walked easily in the corridor that should have been covered with infrared rays, but the surveillance cameras that were supposed to operate did not follow the boy. It moved and moved with it, just quietly glowing with cold light, without any response.

When he came to the door of the new product collection room, the teenager looked at the computer authentication machine in front of him, took out a black ID folder from his trousers pocket, and opened the ID folder in his hand towards the identification window.

With a beep, the three words Celluloid appeared on the screen, and at the same time came a mechanical computer-synthesized voice: Celluloid's identity verification passed, and the door opened silently as the synthetic voice fell.

The boy smiled contentedly and walked in. There was a passage inside. When he reached the door at the end, he opened the handle.

A guard inside the door was eating a late-night snack. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately got up vigilantly, picked up the pistol on the table, pointed at the strange boy in front of him, and asked loudly.

"Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night, let me see your ID card and ID card!"

"Ala~, it's so nerve-racking, that one doesn't match me~" the boy just replied with a teasing.

Hearing the young man say this, the guard immediately prepared to shoot, but in the blink of an eye, the young man in front of him disappeared, and the next second he was blacked out and didn't know anything.

"I'm sorry~ I have to invite you to that world for a late night snack." The boy looked at the corpse on the ground with a smile on his face, and said apologetically, and then he pressed the button on the guard's table. A button, and suddenly, the tightly sewed wall cracked silently.

Walking into the collection room, the teenager looked around. 50 mobile phones were placed in this space in an orderly manner. The moment he saw the mobile phone, a happy light flashed in the boy's eyes. He quickly picked up one of them, and his hand Li slapped the button frantically, and was playing with it, when suddenly there was a beeping sound from the phone, the boy took out his phone from his trousers pocket, looked at the screen, and connected the call.

"Hey~, why are you calling so late? I'm busy right now, what are you doing?" The relaxed and slightly smiling voice showed the familiarity of both parties.

"What are you busy with! Xia Ke, where are you? I have something to look for you." A rough roar came from the microphone, and the boy called Xia Ke immediately took the phone away from his ear and complained slightly to the microphone. said:

"Wojin, be quiet. I can hear you even if you don't yell. I'm in Rietta right now. Come over and talk about something." The knight is always helpless to this huge companion.

"Rieta? Is it that high-tech city? You seem to have been there before, and it's because of your precious mobile phone?" After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Putting away his mobile phone, the knight took away the one he liked the most after researching it roughly, and after destroying all the remaining mobile phones, he left the collection room with satisfaction.

"Ah! That one is no longer needed." Walking on the road, remembering the ID card, the knight took out his ID card, opened and closed his hand casually, and was about to throw it into the distance when he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye. In a place that made him feel disharmonious, the knight immediately spread out the ID booklet and scanned it carefully. In the next second, a strange expression appeared on his face.

They should correspond to each other, but two photos were printed on the two cards with the same information. The id card is printed on the girl that the knight has seen, and the name shows that it is Cellulo, but the national number and date of birth below are the same as those on the ID card, and the ID card is printed on a girl named Naka. Li's brunette middle-aged woman, according to the national number and date of birth on the ID card and ID card, should undoubtedly belong to the person named Nakali, but everything that happened today told the knight , everyone thought it was Celluloid, and there was no doubt about it.

"The name, appearance, and age are all wrong. How did she use this ID card to get into the ID card? Could it be that she is also a person who has the ability to read in the operating system? But I don't see that the other party has the ability to read. Could it be that I am wrong? Did she use it?"

Thinking back on the girl he saw, the knight denied his guess the next second. "But, no, that girl is obviously an ordinary person."

Thinking of the girl who is constantly losing vitality like all ordinary people, the knight pondered in confusion.

"Well~, that girl will come to work tomorrow anyway, so I'll be able to solve the mystery then." The knight who couldn't figure it out immediately stopped struggling. As long as the girl was caught tomorrow, he would naturally know how the other party did it. .

The knight who was smiling confidently at this moment didn't know that he didn't see that girl tomorrow.

------------------------------------

While the knight was busy committing crimes, at the same time, at the other end of the city, Celluloid was standing in the wind and directing traffic. Although it was summer, the night wind was still very cold at night. It was cold, and there were hardly any cars passing by at 3:00 in the middle of the night, so Cellulo was also very leisurely.

"Just be patient, it will be over in an hour." While cheering herself up, Cellulu jumped up and down on the spot, moving her body to keep herself warm.

Bah—, a strange sound like a gunshot suddenly came from her ear, Cellulu stopped jumping, and looked around carefully,

"Well? Wasn't the sound just now a gunshot?"

I listened carefully, but there was no sound.

"You heard it wrong." Just as Cellulu was about to feel relieved, suddenly,

呯呯---------, 呯------------, a few more times,

"It's really a gunshot." Cellulu was taken aback, now she could be sure that it was a gunshot, and it sounded intermittently, as if they were exchanging fire.

Scattered gunshots sounded from far to near. It seemed that the warring people were approaching Celluloid. After a while, although no one was seen, a messy footstep could be heard from far to near.

"It looks like something troublesome has happened. Let's avoid it. It's not good to be involved in some strange incident."

Frowning her brows, Cellulu just ran a few steps forward when she thought so, when there was a chaotic footstep not far behind.

"No, it's too slow." Cellulu, who had just thought so, was suddenly pulled backwards by a rude force, and with a spin, Cellulo, who had not yet reacted, found herself being pinched. The neck is imprisoned in front of a person, and there is a hard object on the temple,

Blinking her eyes, Cellulu couldn't understand the situation for a moment, and then she heard a hoarse and rough voice howling above her head.

"Don't come here, come again, and I'll kill her!" Cellulu felt her temples were pushed against the hard object and felt a little uncomfortable. She shook her head slightly, trying to stay away from the hard object.

"Don't move, do you want to die?" The person behind seemed dissatisfied with Cellulo's actions, and immediately gave a warning, and at the same time the gun was on the head again.

Yes, Celluloid now knows that the hard object is a gun, because at this time, a man running over in front of her out of breath also had a gun in his hand, and he was shouting loudly towards Celluloid. persuade.

"Don't be impulsive, don't hurt the hostages, as long as you put down the gun, I won't do anything to you, you know, you can't escape, it's better for you to be captured as soon as possible."

Hearing this kind of **** dialogue, and looking at this scene, Cellulu naturally clearly realized that she was very badly involved in the pursuit of the police to arrest the criminal, and that she was the unlucky innocent citizen who was taken hostage. .

"Stop being wordy, don't let me go, don't think I'm letting go of the hostages, back away, don't come here, I'll really shoot!" The prisoner at the back shouted emotionally, holding Cellulu back while holding him back. go with.

Cellulu was forced to back away uncomfortably, she knew that speaking out at this time was obviously not a wise choice, and she could only be saved if she cooperated.

The policeman in front also moved with it, which made the prisoner anxious, "Don't come here, didn't I tell you not to come here! Do you think I wouldn't dare to shoot?" Shot in the leg.

"Ah!" She couldn't help crying out in pain. At this moment, she almost had the urge to use her superpowers, but the next second, she still forcibly endured it. She didn't want to expose her abnormality unless she had to. .

Seeing that the prisoner was so ignorant of the hostages, the policeman didn't dare to act rashly. He stopped in place and shouted at the prisoner, "I won't go, let her go, I won't pursue her any more."

Slowly retreating like this, after retreating to a dark alley, the prisoner pushed Celluloid away from him, fired several shots in front of him, turned and fled into the back alley.

"Ah~~" Cellulu, who was pushed away, dragged her **** legs and staggered forward a few steps before being hit by a few bullets from behind. She shook, and in the next second, she was powerless. The supported body fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Ah, **** it!"

Seeing this, the policeman rushed over immediately, and after futilely firing several shots at the empty back alley, he immediately returned to Cellulu, crouched down, and shouted at Cellulu.

"Hey, are you alright? Cheer up, I'll call an ambulance right away." The policeman took out his mobile phone, but screamed in the next second.

"Ah! My phone is dead!"

He looked at Celluloid lying on the ground again and said anxiously.

"Hold on, I'm going to the phone booth to call an ambulance, come back right away, don't die!"

Standing up, the policeman ran away quickly.

Lying on the cold ground, Cellulu felt that her body was getting colder and colder. She knew that it was because of a large amount of blood loss. The body felt heavy, unable to move, and light, and the light seemed to be ready at any time. floating like.

Hu~~hu~~, only the sound of my own heavy breathing is left in my ears, which is particularly clear and loud,

The dark asphalt road in the field of vision and the red blood flowing from his body were gradually covered with white snowflakes. The snowflakes kept expanding. After the field of vision was filled with a white snowflake, the world suddenly turned pitch black. one slice.

Celluloid, who had not yet completely lost consciousness, thought vaguely in her heart before she was completely plunged into darkness.

"It's not good. It looks like I'm going to die. I can't go to work tomorrow. It's a pity that the salary is a waste of money today."

In the dark street in the middle of the night, the girl who fell alone in a pool of blood had stopped breathing, and the night wind blew bleakly over the girl, but the next second, the space around the girl suddenly distorted strangely. But has disappeared.

The policeman who came back from the phone call only saw blood flowing all over the place, but there was no sign of the girl anywhere. If it weren't for the realism that the still warm blood gave him, it would seem that everything was just an illusion.
