Alien Hotel

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 on the bus - it has nothing to do with the people and a lot to do with the car. This makes it especially miraculous that Xu Jiali can 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, so 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?"

"Yes," Xu Jiali said cheerfully, "I am idle anyway. When I am not traveling, 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. He even drove an online ride-hailing service to earn extra money after work. And it's such an old car that's almost the same age as me, so the standard of living of Secret Service employees is so dire?

He felt something was wrong no matter what, 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 continue "pretending".

Erin's eyes widened and regained their luster, she rubbed herself from Hu Hu's arms to the middle of the back seat, stuck her head 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 that I have. It’s really hard for me 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, followed by the car whistle's "didi" sound twice very quickly and briskly. It happened so quickly that he didn't even realize anything was wrong at first.

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 and 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 movement simulated by artificial intelligence allows this thing to fly into the air at any time if the situation requires it. When the four wheels are lifted up, it can turn into an eight-unit air-to-air missile, and it can be launched out of the exhaust pipe...

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: "That's why 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." equipment, and provided it like a treasure when not on missions - Our captain wanted to buy my car several times, but it wasn’t until the last time that my old guy got angry and made him run around the parking lot three times that he refused. I dare to mention it. Hey, why don’t you speak?”

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 within the Secret Service system. So he had no choice but to hide his astonishment, and replaced it with a 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, hoping to be able to bring out the soul of old items like me."

Yu Sheng: "..

The soul of the divine TM machine is created! Co-authored in this world, if you drive around for a long time, you will develop a patina, and if you drive on a car for a long time, your soul 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. After being quiet for a moment, he asked seemingly casually: "You guys are going out so late. I think this address seems to be too." There are no pedestrian streets or shopping malls... How about going 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 it to me."

"That should be fine. The "Fairy Tale" organization has a good reputation and has always been very disciplined," Xu Jiali was relieved, but she still gave a few more instructions, "I know you have set up a 'hotel', so I'll say a few more words - the border area is a mixed bag, and no matter how many spies the Secret Service has, there are always corners that you can't see. Be careful not to be fooled, be wary of temptation, and if you think someone or something is suspicious, don't hesitate, just report it directly - reporting is a virtue."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Sheng always feels that when the other party said the words "reporting is a virtue", there is a strange solemnity in his tone.

"Don't worry, we understand," Irene waved her hand impatiently, urging, "Can you drive faster? Why do I feel like your car is struggling to run...”

“It seems to be a little nervous today, and it can't run freely,” Xu Jiali scratched her hair, “It even stalled once when it approached your street just now. It's not like this usually.”

Yu Sheng felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned his head and saw Hu Li looking straight at him. “My benefactor, do you want me to tie a tail to the back of the car and push it? "

Yu Sheng rejected the fox girl's idea without thinking.

Just kidding, a rocket-propelled subsonic Xiali running on the street in the middle of the night, it would be better to just run a rocket-propelled fox! After all, the latter might be believed by fewer people because it is too outrageous. If the former alarms the authorities at the border, Xu Jiali's driver's license might be lost...

Anyway, although it took almost a quarter of the time longer than a normal taxi, Yu Sheng and his party still arrived at the location sent by Little Red Riding Hood. Yu Sheng glanced out of the car window and saw that there were few street lights ahead, and a large building was dim at the end of the road.

"We can get off here. It's not easy to turn around on the small road ahead."

"Okay," Xu Jiali waved her hand, "get off the car and take your belongings with you - if you really encounter a situation, call me. "Yu Sheng and his group left.

On the dimly lit street, Xu Jiali watched two figures (Erin was too small and was blocked by Hu Li) gradually moving away. After a long while, he exhaled softly, let go of the steering wheel, and leaned back on the seat that was a little cramped for him.

The car started automatically and slowly moved to a place on the side of the road that was not in the way. Then the engine hummed softly and made a whirring sound. Xu Jiali glanced at the dashboard with the corner of her eyes, with a smile on her lips: "Old man, are you scared?"

The engine hummed twice.

Xu Jiali stretched her waist, 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 the 97."

...

Yu Sheng looked back.

There were faint lights moving in the distance, turning and disappearing on the other side of the road. Erin'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?"

"It doesn't matter whose car I take - it depends on whether I see Li Lin 'coincidentally' driving an online taxi near our house. I hope his car is bigger," Yu Sheng said cheerfully, "I won't have to pay for the taxi if I meet him a few more times. The bureau will definitely reimburse him anyway."

"..You have a very free and easy mentality." Irene said sincerely.

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but just reached out and touched Irene's hair, then looked up into the distance.

Under a slightly dim street lamp, a petite girl in a dark red coat was standing quietly in the light, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
