Pendulum Rider

The last day of the annual leave coincides with Saturday, and because I am engaged in flexible work, sometimes I may not be able to rest on Saturday.

At the same time, this day is also the last day for me to go to collect evidence with Shang Locke, and the time is arranged in the afternoon.Just as it was early in the morning, when I was still drowsily asleep, subconsciously, I woke up instantly when I thought of going to meet the boss of the Red and Blue Gang in the afternoon. Before I went to meet the big shot, I was a little uneasy.

I still put on the plain coat from yesterday, and then stood in front of the mirror and combed my hair for a long time. A few strands of hair were curled up from sleep, so I took out the straightening iron, plugged it in, and ironed it carefully. parts.Finally, I checked the instrument in the mirror to see if it was OK, and then went to the kitchen to have breakfast. After breakfast, I began to fidget, thinking about how to speak when I saw Boss Wei in the afternoon, or that I just need to sit As a decoration next to it, and all the conversations are left to Shang Locke?But I gotta say something, right?

Right now it feels like I'm about to take a big exam this afternoon, but I'm unprepared and anxious.It felt like I hadn't done anything all morning, and it was meal time. When I was eating at noon, I was also absent-minded and didn't know what to eat.Judging by my sluggish reaction, my parents thought I was in love.

After lunch, I went to the mirror to check the appearance again, and then walked out of the house.After I walked downstairs with some difficulty, I saw a raging car driving towards me from a distance. I don't know who was driving today, and I suddenly looked forward to seeing Xiong Xiong.

After the car approached, through the glass, I only saw the figure of Shang Locke.The car stopped in front of me, Shang Locke still got out of the car first, opened the co-pilot's door for me, and returned to the driver's seat after I took a seat.

"Actually, you don't have to open the door for me every time."

"Personal habits, don't mind."

"personal habit?"

"Yes."

Shang Locke didn't answer me in detail. After he put on his seat belt, he drove the car with full concentration, and I didn't continue to ask him the question just now.

Today, I was not in the mood to look at the scenery outside the window. I stared ahead and practiced repeatedly in my mind the greeting I would say when I saw Boss Wei.

When I recovered from the small theater in my mind, I found that Shang Luoke drove the car into a certain residential area, and the area was full of ordinary six-story buildings.After getting out of the car, I followed Shang Locke and walked towards a certain residential building. Like the community where I live, the residential building does not have an elevator.

"Get ready to go up to the sixth floor." After speaking, Shang Locke walked in front first, and climbed up the stairs without panting.

Since my family lives on the fourth floor, it is not too difficult to add two more floors. After I climbed to the sixth floor, I found that Shanglock had already rang the doorbell, and the door was wide open and was waiting for me.

I stepped into the house and closed the door casually, only to see a seemingly ordinary old man pointing to the slippers in front of me and saying, "Just wear these."

So, when I bent down to change my slippers, the old man's feet left my sight. When I looked up, I saw two figures sitting on the sofa in the living room, and they were greeting each other.

I walked towards the sofa, when I didn't know where to sit, the old man looked up at me, he should be Boss Wei, right?When I was nervous, I completely forgot the greeting I had just prepared.

"Sit down." Boss Wei pointed to another single-seater sofa next to Locke.

I sat down a little cautiously, and then looked awkwardly at Shang Locke beside me.

After noticing my gaze, Shang Luoke said, "Mr. Wei, let me introduce you. This is my assistant Luo Yaxin."

"No need to introduce, I know this girl." Boss Wei turned to me and asked, "Have you ever had a blind date with my godson Wu Haozhe?"

"Yes." I feel that my voice sounds different from usual at this moment. Is it because of being overly nervous?

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Ordinary tea is fine."

"Then sit down for a while." Boss Wei stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

I asked Locke softly, "Is that Boss Wei?"

"Looks like an ordinary old man, doesn't he?" Shang Luoke saw through my thoughts at a glance, "He is the boss Wei of the Red and Blue Gang, and he is quite easy-going. You should relax."

When Boss Wei was still in the kitchen, I did relax physically, but when he was walking towards us with a teacup, I inadvertently adjusted my sitting posture, raised my chest and retracted my abdomen, and put my hands on my thighs. Just like elementary school students were asked to sit upright by the teacher when they were in class.

After seeing my sitting posture, Boss Wei let out a hearty laugh.

"If I had a granddaughter, she would probably be around your age. You don't have to be so cautious, and I'm not a big shot."

"Okay, okay." I tried my best to adjust my sitting posture to a relaxed state, but no matter how I sat, it was uncomfortable.

"So, Mr. Wei, can we start now?" Shang Luoke's small notebook had already been spread out, and he asked while turning the pen in his hand.

"Yes." Boss Wei also sat down.

"So, the first question, do you know the prince?"

"I seem to have heard of it."

"So can I ask about Sasori?"

"He is the leader of the special team, so what do you want to ask? I will tell you everything you want to know to the extent that I can provide information, but if it involves some important secrets, I will not say of."

"Is he your subordinate's child?"

"Yes."

"Can you reveal his real name?"

"This involves some confidentiality, so it cannot be disclosed."

"Do you have a jewelry store?"

"There is indeed one. In fact, some female employees of our gang have too much free time, so they started a side job. They put the trophies brought back by other members and sold them online."

"What booty?"

"After defeating the blood race, when some blood races were wiped out, the accessories they wore would fall off, and even if they didn't pick them up, they would be picked up by others, so they brought back all kinds of accessories, which the blood races often wear Although the accessories smell a bit bloody, they unexpectedly have the effect of warding off evil spirits. After other blood clans smell the bloody smell on the accessories, they will think that the wearer is the blood slave of that blood clan, so they will not attack them."

"Can you disclose the number of members of the Red and Blue Gang?"

"It's not easy to say."

"Is this also part of the secret?"

"It can't be regarded as a secret. After all, the associations in each region will regularly count the number of people. Our line of work is also a high-risk occupation. If you fail, you will take your own life."

"Really?" The corner of Shang Locke's mouth raised slightly, as if he had expected the other party's answer, so he continued to ask, "Then can you tell me the death toll of the Red and Blue Gang last year and this year?"

"Half what you have to say."

"What does this mean?"

"The pendulum who has been assisting me in my work has died. Although he is an important cadre of the Red and Blue Gang, he is not a human being, but everyone usually treats him as a human being."

"Then what happened to his body?"

"Sent it to his son."

"Can a pendulum give birth to the next generation?"

"There are many ways to create a new pendulum. For example, if you separate a part of your body, that part will not be controlled by the original pendulum. For example, when the pendulum is damaged, you can separate your own pendulum. The power is transferred to other objects to continue to 'survive'. Of course, if some pendulums have high enough spiritual power, they can use human females or males to give birth to the next generation."

"Then which kind is the son of the pendulum you just mentioned?"

"The last one is that the child's mother was originally my subordinate, but she left the gang after she became pregnant."

"Well, let me ask you weakly, isn't that child's mother a nurse?" I mustered up the courage to intervene.

"It is indeed a medical staff."

"Is that child's name Lu Haikong?"

Boss Wei looked at me and nodded his head, and then said: "He used to often mention you to me, he said you are incredible."

"Me? Incredible?" Is that really talking about me?I can't help but have such questions in my mind.

"Because you are the only opposite sex recognized by Lin Xiwu."

"Maybe it's because I've often fed him since I was a child? That's why he trusts me more."

"There are too many people feeding him."

"You two, let's not talk about this for now, can I continue to ask questions?" Shang Locke interrupted our conversation.

"go ahead."

"Since you mentioned Lu Haikong, let me ask, is Lu Haikong also a member of the Red and Blue Gang?"

"That's it."

"Did he go to Japan to study for other reasons related to the Red and Blue Gang?"

"you can say it this way."

"I know you won't tell me the reason, so let's change the question. Do all your members have their own code names?"

"Only people in special teams have code names, and they can be regarded as secrets among secrets."

"Then do they have any privileges?"

Boss Wei smiled slightly and asked, "For example?"

"For example, you can enter and exit customs freely, even if you use the name A when you leave China, but you use the name B when you return to China?"

"Unfortunately, they do not have this kind of privilege. The privilege we have is that it is faster to apply for a visa to go abroad. Basically, we will suddenly go on a business trip abroad tomorrow. Now the visa can be issued immediately, and the date of stay is also short. Longer."

"Presumably, as the boss, you also have certain privileges?"

"There are indeed privileges, but you don't have to know. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Once you join the Red and Blue Gang, can you not disclose the work you have done to your family?"

"Most of the members are those who followed me from the beginning. Many of them have children or even grandchildren. If their family members are more capable, they will also work for the Red and Blue Gang. If they are members who joined later, For example, those born in the 80s and 90s mostly hide their existence, and even their family members can’t find where they are. If they are engaged in medical work, they can occasionally get family leave. As for other positions, it is best not to see their family members. See, as I said just now, after all, our business is very dangerous, and we don’t know when we will die. It’s better not to let family members know about this kind of work. No matter how much we use our privileges to block news from the media, they will still spread it privately. If our work becomes known to everyone, not only us, but other countries will be particularly troubled. In this society that advocates believing in science and not being superstitious, Once this unscientific thing is exposed, you will also know the consequences? Most people will become panic, because there are actually creatures like vampires around them."

"So, is my brother actually in your gang? I've been looking for him for a long time but I haven't found any clues about him."

When Shang Luoke asked this question, I turned to him with surprised eyes. Could it be that this time to collect evidence from Boss Wei is not about the prince, but about his brother?After all, the prince has hardly been mentioned since just now.

"Your guess is reasonable, maybe he's in our gang." Boss Wei replied somewhat ambiguously.

"Then I'll ask you to take care of him." Shang Locke regarded the other party's words as an affirmative answer.

"Please ask the wrong person. No one in our gang is currently taking care of any newcomers. Everyone is very busy. I also squeezed out a little time to accept your visit."

"Anyway, the Red and Blue Gang is the only clue."

"Then do you have anything else to ask?" For some reason, Boss Wei looked at me.

"Brother Lu, is Lu Haikong still alive?" Under the gaze of Boss Wei, I suddenly thought of a question, which is what I want to know the most.

"He's dead." Boss Wei replied firmly.

I also thought that if Boss Wei answered "still alive", I still have a lot of questions in my mind, but I didn't expect him to answer so simply, so I closed my mouth and waited for Shang Luoke to ask his questions .

Unexpectedly, Shang Locke said: "I have no problem. If there is any problem, I will investigate it myself. As long as I confirm that my brother is here with you, I will feel a lot easier."

"I just didn't make it clear that your brother is with us."

"But I know he should be here with you. Maybe he thinks your gang is more free, so he doesn't want to go home because of his wild life."

"Actually, Xing Xing didn't go home because of us. No matter how dangerous the work he was doing, it would not endanger his life. He could go home every day." Boss Wei suddenly told the truth. Just now he gave an ambiguous answer, but now he admits it outright, what kind of plan does he have?

"Really, I just need to know that he is still alive, then we will leave." Shang Locke took a sip of the tea on the table, then put it down, and was about to get up and leave.

I also took a symbolic sip from the teacup, then stood up and bid farewell to Boss Wei.

I followed behind Shang Locke and came to the door.Just when Shang Luoke's hand was about to touch the doorknob, Boss Wei's voice sounded behind us: "Jia Lingyue, you are also a rare talent, do you want to consider using it for us?"

Shang Luoke didn't turn his head, and replied very simply: "I don't like working under others, and working freely is more suitable for me."

"Our organization is already very free. Female employees do side jobs and sell things when they go to work. I won't blame them."

Shang Locke opened the door and said, "What I want is not this kind of freedom."

Hearing this, Boss Wei laughed boldly, and the laughter echoed in the corridor, before the echo dissipated, he continued, "Then just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

"Goodbye."

"Be careful on your way."
