MTL - Night Hacker-Chapter 14 mask
Chapter 14 Mask
The fish pond at night is much more lively than during the day. It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Vanderbilt closed the glass door and hung a sign of "closed business". When the last customer in the store left, the business for the day officially ended.
The alleys outside the store are still noisy, and the sound of people coming and going continues. This is a place that never sleeps.
"Sometimes, we also do business late at night, the kind that we only do late at night."
Fan Debao supervises Gu He to clean up the bar while teaching the rules here, "But not today."
Gu He suddenly thought about it, late night business? Is it illegal activity...
He entertained a lot of guests of all kinds today, and he has more knowledge about Liuguang City, Kabukicho District, and Shouhui Street. The biggest feeling is this word: illegal.
The city seems to have law and order, but in reality, from high to low, no one takes it seriously.
Gu He really felt a little bit self-pity. He, a first-class good citizen, had a good chat with a female client and received a red envelope. How could he become a Yakuza?
But he looked at Lao Fan's fierce appearance, and didn't dare to ask the other party more about the Yakuza Gang, so he should wait until the other party wanted to say something.
Otherwise who knows if there will be a situation like "You know too much, so I have to kill you"?
"Finish the bar, wash the dishes, go to bed early, and open at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
Vanderbilt took off his apron, took off the chief chef and changed back to his middle-aged sportswear, and said:
"I want to go to Li Cai's side, so I won't be watching you. But don't say I didn't remind you, although there are no surveillance cameras in the store, I know exactly whether you have fished or done bad things."
Gu He had noticed it during the day, and there was indeed no surveillance in the living room.
Miss Sakai said, if a place like a fish pond is built with a camera or something, who will come to patronize it.
By the way, Ms. Sakai hasn't decided what kind of nose she wants, but she's determined to use it as a personal feature.
"Be more conspicuous yourself." After Vanderbilt said, he went to the Li Cai club.
The laughter of singing and dancing faintly came through the metal door.
When the metal door closed, Gu He was alone in the izakaya again.
This is a good opportunity to fish, just considering that you still have to do the work yourself, and the limelight…
Gu He roughly washed the bowls and cups in the kitchen before returning to the bar tiredly to sit down, drink some wolfberry water for himself, and prepare to take a breath before taking a bath.
In the evening, Miss Caiyin brought some clothes for him to change.
From coats to panties, everything is new and tasteful.
Miss Ayane is really kind to him, but as the saying goes, all the gifts from fate...
Gu He's thoughts and eyes diverged a bit, looking at the quiet surroundings.
The TV was off, the landline didn't ring, and the old computer in the kitchen, in his opinion, was too much for Lao Fan, and he strictly instructed him not to touch it, and it was best not to watch it.
The curtains are fiery red, and the paintings on the walls are of various contents, including artistic texts and religious symbols.
The streets and alleys outside the store are very noisy, the electric swishing sound of neon lights due to failure, the rustling sound of door curtains and lanterns being blown by the night wind, the sound of homeless people rummaging for food from garbage heaps and cursing at stray cats. Unknown noises in dark corners...
Gu He came back to his senses, and still went to look at the console in his mind. The current program progress bar is indigo blue at the second gear, 21%.
The page "Heroes with a Thousand Faces" is in the database, and there is also a "Contact 1".
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a squeak, and there was a sound of the door opening.
Gu He followed the voice and looked towards the small aisle, but there was no one, and neither the metal door nor the fire door was opened.
Misheard? He turned his head back in doubt, a shock, and the person was directly stupid.
A figure was sitting on the chair next to him. Through the dim light, Gu He could clearly see the face of the figure. The young man had a surprised expression. This is him, what his body looks like now.
He looked at the figure as if he was looking in a mirror.
"You..." He opened his lips, his trembling hand accidentally knocked over the thermos cup beside him, and the wolfberry water flowed into a pool.
What the hell, hallucination? But in the reflection of the water at the bar, there is also this figure. Is this also part of the hallucination?
"You..." The man also moved his lips, almost the same tone, almost the same movement.
Gu He stood up suddenly and stepped back; the same was true of the man, getting up and stepping back, strange and inexplicable.
In the cold sweat on his head, he suddenly noticed that the man's facial bones and muscles were a little unstable and twisted, and it was vaguely different, it seemed to be a woman, and it was vaguely familiar.
But he looked real, and he looked exactly like him.
Is this a human being or a ghost, or is it an illusion? This is a sub-personality! ?
Gu He didn't dare to act lightly, feeling that the other party was learning from him, imitating him, even in the smallest of every move.
"What are you?" He tried to stabilize his blood pressure.
"What are you?" the man also asked, his voice only half a beat slower than his.
Gu He has quietly retreated to the edge of the sofa, or this is an illusion caused by a sub-personality...
She couldn't wait to be fed, jumped out of the subconscious to do things, learn from him, devour him.
Or, this is haunted, there are ghosts in the fish pond!
Between picking up the thermos cup and fighting against the opponent or running away, Gu He decisively chose the latter.
Taking advantage of the other party's lack of time, he rushed out of the store with a single stride, but suddenly remembered that he could not leave the fish pond at will, otherwise the consequences would be serious, he hurriedly turned his head, and rushed to the metal door of the small aisle.
"Old Fan! Miss Caiyin! Help!"
He kept flapping the metal door anxiously, bang bang bang.
But on the other side of the metal door, music and dancing continued, and no one seemed to be able to hear the movement here.
The sound of footsteps approached, Gu He watched the ghostly figure approaching, and couldn't help screaming: "Don't come here..."
The ghost stopped, with a look of horror on his face, and his waving hand seemed to be slamming on the door, "Don't come here."
…
"Miss Sakai will scare Xiao He stupid like this?" Kumiko Ayane asked Fan Debao worriedly.
A J-level program of the actor occupation department, "mask", by acting as another person, changing the face and body for a period of time.
One of the effects of is to confuse others, especially the imitators.
The purpose of this training is to improve Gu He's tolerance for fear and weirdness, and to make his nerves adapt.
"He should be thankful that it was only Sakai Sanshou."
Vanderbilt looked at it coldly, "Just such a crappy, three-speed talented one-programmer intermediate, who can't mix with ordinary and extraordinary, can only be used for testing and training newcomers, not for real.
"I said she couldn't do it at the beginning, but she is a proof that your eyes are wrong."
"Ms. Sakai has worked hard..." Kumiko Ayane sighed, "She's just a little timid and inferior. I'm also a native dog, I understand, but as long as I overcome this, I still believe that she has great potential."
"Being an extraordinary person can't make her confident, how can it be done? Moreover, hard work is the most useless quality in this world."
Fan Debao disliked Sakai Huaqing, and disliked Gu Helai:
"Look at that kid, he's about to collapse with fright, he doesn't even have the guts and tenacity, how can he be a puppet? How can he cooperate with other people, those **** who are really troublesome and make trouble? Don't be played by them? "
"Hey, I hope Xiaohe can pass this level of training, he is really a good person."
"You just spoil him. I'll see one day, this kid will be chopped up by you too."
"No, Xiaohe is different from a guy like Bat who needs to apologize to his death. I don't think he will."
