Yu Sheng found that his initial judgment was a bit wrong.
Although Irene does not take up much space, it will still be crowded after getting in the car - it has nothing to do with the people and a lot to do with the car. This especially makes it very miraculous for Xu Jiali to stuff herself behind the steering wheel.
.
How could such a strong man nearly two meters tall choose such a car!
Yu Sheng and Hu Li were nestled in the back seat (the passenger seat had piled up two large cardboard boxes and there was no room for anyone to sit), listening to the engine shuddering at the front of the car and starting to rev. When the car finally drove out of the block, he felt really Unable to bear it anymore, she asked Xu Jiali in the driver's seat: "Is this your side job after get off work?"
"That's right," Xu Jiali said cheerfully, "I have nothing to do anyway. When I'm not on a business trip, I like to drive around the city after work to earn some pocket money."
Yu Sheng had a strange expression. He glanced at the trembling car and the strong man nestled in the front seat. He thought to himself that this was a senior deep diver from the Secret Service. After work, he actually drove an online ride-hailing service to earn extra money——
Moreover, it is such an old car that is almost the same age as me. How can the standard of living of Secret Service employees be so dire?
He felt that something was wrong, but he was too embarrassed to ask, and he felt so uncomfortable inside.
Fortunately, there was a thick-skinned person at the scene - in front of acquaintances, the little doll no longer had to "disguise".
Irene's eyes widened and regained their luster, she moved from Hu Hu's arms to the middle of the back seat, and asked, "Your car is quite 'personalized' - doesn't your Secret Service usually pay wages?"
"
"That's not true," Xu Jiali smiled and shook her head, "I have feelings for this car. This is the first car I bought after going to work. Although it was an old car when I bought it, I have been driving it for so many years.
It’s all I have, and I would be really reluctant to change it.”
Having said this, he reached out and patted the gear handle next to him, tilted his head slightly and said: "And don't think it's old, this old guy never makes mistakes, and the chain hasn't dropped in so many years - right old guy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Sheng heard a dull and powerful roar from the engine at the front of the car, and then the car whistle beeped twice very quickly and briskly. Things happened so quickly that at first he even
Didn't realize anything was wrong.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that he realized that Xu Jiali didn't do any unnecessary operations at all, nor did she sound the horn - it was the car that really "responded" to the driver's communication!
"Your car..." Yu Sheng sat up straight in an instant and looked at Xu Jiali in disbelief, "Did I respond to you just now?"
At this moment, he came up with all kinds of ideas. For example, the seemingly old broken car was carefully modified by elite agents in private. An electronic brain was actually stuffed into the rusty car shell. The noise when it started was actually
The movements simulated by artificial intelligence can soar into the sky at any time as long as the situation requires it. When the four wheels are lifted, it can be an eight-unit air-to-air missile, and the exhaust pipe can be launched...
But Xu Jiali just smiled and said casually and naturally: "Nothing, it's a machine spirit." Yu Sheng: "...?"
The situation was even more outrageous than what he imagined.
Xu Jiali was still talking: "So many people in the bureau are envious of me. High-tech equipment is easy to get, and you can get it as much as you want, but machine souls are hard to come by. There are only a few souls in the team."
The equipment is provided like a treasure when not on a mission - our captain wanted to buy my car several times, until the last time my old guy got angry and made him run around the parking lot three times, he didn't
I dare to mention it. Hey, why don't you talk?"
Yu Sheng was still stunned at this time.
But from Xu Jiali's tone, he judged that the other party seemed to regard this as some kind of common sense - at least, it was the "common sense" known in the Secret Service system. So he had to hide his surprise.
, it was replaced by a slightly subtle sigh: "...You are... quite powerful."
"Right, so now many people in the bureau are following my example. They don't want to replace their old cars, mobile phones, etc., so they just use them. They just hope that like me, they can bring out the soul of the old items."
Yu Sheng: "..
God TM, the soul of the machine is created! In this world, if the machine is coiled for a long time, the patina will appear, and if the machine is coiled for a long time, the soul of the machine will grow, right?
Xu Jiali, who was concentrating on driving, did not notice the subtle expression change on Yu Sheng's face in the back seat. He just asked casually after being quiet for a moment: "You guys are going out so late. I think this address seems to be too."
There are no pedestrian streets or shopping malls. Should we go to the night market?
As he spoke, he glanced at the little doll sitting between Yu Sheng and Hu Li through the rearview mirror: "And the doll lady is also following her - the way she goes out is quite creative."
Just as Yu Sheng was about to speak, Irene had already spoken first: "Let's go out to work!"
Then she turned her head and glanced at Yu Sheng belatedly: "...Can you tell me outside?"
Yu Sheng was very indifferent: "Let's talk, it's not a secret operation, and it's official on the other side."
"Working?" Xu Jiali reacted instantly. After a brief silence, his tone became serious, "Do you need help?" "No," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "It's not a big project."
Xu Jiali hummed, but after a few seconds she couldn't help but ask again: "Is it legal? Don't blame me for saying this..."Little Red Riding Hood introduced me."
"That should be no problem. The Fairy Tale organization has a good reputation and has always followed the rules."
Sentence - This place at the junction is a mixed bag. No matter how many spies the Secret Service has, there are always corners that cannot be seen. Be careful of being deceived and be wary of temptations. If you think someone or something is suspicious, don't hesitate to report it directly - reporting is
virtue."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Sheng always felt that there was a strange solemnity in the other person's tone when he said the words "reporting is a virtue".
"Don't worry, we understand," Erin waved her hand impatiently, urging, "Can you drive faster? Why do I feel like your car is so hard to run..."
"It does seem to be a little nervous today and can't let go when running," Xu Jiali scratched her hair, "it even turned off the engine once when it was approaching your street. It's not like this normally."
Yu Sheng felt someone next to him tugging on his sleeve. He turned his head and saw Hu Li looking directly at him. "My dear friend, do you want me to tie a tail to the back of the car and push it?"
Yu Sheng rejected Miss Fox's idea without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, if a rocket-propelled subsonic Xiali is running on the street in the middle of the night, why not just run a rocket-propelled Fox! At least fewer people may believe the latter because it is too outrageous, but if the former
Alarming the border authorities, Xu Jiali's driver's license may be gone...
In any case, although it took almost a quarter longer than a normal taxi ride, Yu Sheng and his party successfully arrived near the location that Little Red Riding Hood sent to locate. Yu Sheng glanced out of the car window and saw that there were few street lights ahead.
, a large building is silhouetted at the end of the road.
"We can just get off the car here. It's difficult to turn around on the path going forward."
"Okay," Xu Jiali waved her hand, "Get out of the car and take your belongings with you - if you encounter a situation, call me." Yu Sheng and his party left.
On the street with dim street lights, Xu Jiali watched the two figures (Irene was too small and was blocked by Hu Hu) moving away. After a while, he breathed softly, let go of the steering wheel, and turned to
He leaned back in the seat, which was a little cramped for him.
The car started on its own and slowly moved to a place out of the way on the side of the road. Then the engine hummed softly and made a whirring sound. Xu Jiali glanced at the dashboard with the corner of her eye, with a smile on her lips: "
Old man, are you scared?"
The engine hummed twice.
Xu Jiali stretched out her body, which was very limited for the current driving space, and reached out to press on the steering wheel. "Don't say anything. You've worked hard today. Fill up on the 97th."
...
Yu Sheng looked back.
There were faint lights moving in the distance, turning and disappearing on the other side of the road. Irene's voice came into his mind: "Do you think it's a coincidence?"
"It doesn't matter." Yu Sheng waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter?"
"Anyway, it's not a taxi ride - it just depends on whether you will see Li Lin driving a ride-hailing service near our house by chance. I hope his car can be bigger," Yu Sheng said cheerfully.
He said, "When we meet him a few more times, I won't have to pay the fare at all. The bureau will definitely reimburse him anyway."
"..You have such a free and easy attitude." Irene sighed sincerely.
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, he just reached out and pressed Irene's hair, then raised his head and looked into the distance.
Chapter completed!
