Human dimension reduction

"This house is the staff dormitory of the department, and the people living around it are members of the special mediation department. Everyone has powerful superpowers, and the security factor is very high. There is a free cafeteria downstairs, open 24 hours a day, with both Chinese and Western food. I'll take you to enter it in a while, and you can eat with your face, if you don't want to go downstairs, you can make an internal call and ask someone to bring it up..."

Regardless of his appearance or conversation, Shao Xinglan was obviously not someone who specialized in this kind of entertainment, but he spoke in a very natural way, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being a hostess.

Several other taciturn men with cropped heads followed them not far or near. Different from their honest and simple appearance, their eyes were alert and sharp. Anyone who tried to approach the front would be greeted with their collective scrutiny. .

Qiao Zhou had been listening to Shao Xinglan's words in silence, nodding in cooperation from time to time, and asking one or two simple questions.

It was almost eight o'clock after returning from the airport, and the sky was bright. Shao Xinglan took Qiao Zhou across half of the capital city, and came to this ordinary residential area.

It is not appropriate to say that it is a residential area, because when you go around the front of the community, there is a certain bureau on the left and a certain department on the right. You can see the roof of the Supreme Court across a street, and you can even see the country clearly when you climb to a high place. The shadow of the Great Hall.

Walking on this street, pouring a cup of milk tea casually can wet several department-level cadres, and if you are lucky, you can even splash it on the director of the bureau, and bring a few mayors and governors to Beijing.

This street is the famous Qingping Avenue in China, nicknamed Administration Street, from the chairman to the secretary, there is a desk for them on this street.

Behind Qingping Avenue is the dormitory allocated to civil servants by the state. As an institution serving these state cadres, the dormitory here certainly has excellent conditions, but the living conditions are also extremely harsh. Only unmarried civil servants with no housing or above a certain position Only then can there be a house number in it, and now Qiao Zhou got a room key with such ease.

Shao Xinglan pointed to the opposite door with a smile: "I live here, if you need anything in the future, Mr. Qiao can come to me."

Qiao Zhou looked at the two facing doors, and finally raised his eyebrows.

"It's a coincidence, right?" Shao Xinglan lied without changing his face and heartbeat, "I was also surprised, but this was arranged by the General Affairs Office, which shows that there is a fate between us."

Qiao Zhou looked at the key and code card in his hand, and nodded: "Yes, it's really fate."

Shao Xinglan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and waved to Qiao Zhou: "Let's do it first, the furniture in the room is complete, you can write a list to report if you need to add something, if there is any, the general affairs will send it, if not Someone will be sent to buy it."

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye briskly, and returned to his room without hesitation. He never asked Qiao Zhou about Vincent from the beginning to the end, as if Qiao Zhou was really a new colleague, and he It's as if he came to familiarize him with the environment out of the friendship of colleagues.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, the more calm Shao Xinglan is, the bigger the thing they are planning.

But Qiao Zhou didn't worry about this at all. He was the best in terms of patience.

Anyway, it's just to whet people's appetites, and it's not torture and shackles, so it's considered a public-funded tour.

Thinking so, he ignored the two soldiers who had been following behind him, opened the door and walked in.

Two part-time guards guarded the door silently, one on the left and the other on the right, like two silent sculptures.

But Shao Xinglan who returned to his room restrained his smile.

He took off his coat slowly and hung it on the cactus-shaped hanger in the entrance, put down the keys in his hand, and opened the warm-colored paper sliding door.

Behind the paper sliding door are not the sofas, dining tables, benches and TV cabinets full of home atmosphere as imagined. In the cleaned-up room are densely packed display screens, and the wires cleaned by obsessive-compulsive disorder are bundled into horizontal and vertical loops Stuck in the corner, crawling like a giant python, the neatly arranged monitors show every corner of a beautifully decorated room from all angles.

In addition, the other half of the monitors were still playing back some pictures. The background of the picture was the cabin of the plane, the compartment of the car, and a corner of the corridor. It was Shao Xinglan and Qiao Zhou who occupied the main positions of the picture.

The ten people sitting in front of the monitor wore earphones on their heads, writing and drawing quickly on the paper. When they saw Shao Xinglan coming in, they took off their earphones and greeted them one after another.

"Shao Chu."

"Shao Chu."

"Hmm." Shao Xinglan's face remained unchanged. He walked behind a person and looked at what was on the screen. That video was the scene of the two in the car. He glanced at Yan Yan's gentle and gentle self in the car. , put all your attention on the other person.

The lucky one chosen by him didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the man in the monitor who looked like a spring breeze, and then sneaked a glance at the master who was as cold as a sculpture and lacked human emotion, and secretly lamented the greatness of this man's acting skills.

He deserves to be the director. It’s true that people before and after say that they change their faces. Those who don’t know think that this is a seamless connection between the two twin brothers. Speaking of which, there have been rumors in the department that Shao Chu has multiple personalities. Could it be this rumor? is it true?

He was thinking wildly here. After watching this video, Shao Xinglan tapped his knuckles on the table twice: "Give me the observation report before six o'clock, and I will report to the chief."

A group of people suddenly trembled, and answered in unison: "Yes!"

On the screen, the young man who knew nothing about it had already walked into the room, closed the door, and began to look at the house allocated to him for temporary living.

Shao Xinglan lost interest after taking a look at it, turned around and left the room that was turned into a monitoring room.

After receiving a report about Qiao Zhou from the officials who went to the Eastern Province for a meeting, a group of bigwigs in the capital held several meetings on how to treat Qiao Zhou. At the meeting, they were roughly divided into two factions. policy, to get Qiao Zhou to become one of them, to help the country willingly, and to drive those monsters to stand on the side of China; the other faction thinks that they should adopt tougher measures, at least to show the strength of China, in order to win more The right to speak, blindly being soft cannot deal with emergencies.

So one party ridiculed the other party as a brainless mallet, and the other party conversely said that this party was a cowardly soft bastard. After discussing and discussing, finally a compromise was reached: softness with hardness, rigidity with softness, leniency and strictness .

As the specific executor, Shao Xinglan almost wanted to curse when he got this instruction.

But defamation is defamation, as the head of the special mediation department, the person who is able to stand up to everyone's opinions at a young age is naturally not a simple person, and he quickly figured out the key points.

To put it bluntly, it is to serve Qiao Zhou with good food and drink, to influence him in a subtle way, and then use other methods in private—of course it is not a sinister method, but to target this person in an all-round way. According to the analysis, prescribe the right medicine and strive to turn him into his own comrade.

As for placing cameras and bugs in the non-private areas of his residence and all the places he passed by... Shao Xinglan didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.

This is just a necessary means, compared to other things he has done, this thing is simply a daily meal and water.

Does anyone feel guilty for eating and drinking themselves?

Qiao Zhou walked around the room. This [-]-square-meter room has two bedrooms, one of which has been converted into a study room. The bookshelf is still brand new without removing the plastic film. Qiao Zhou rolled up his sleeves and tore off the plastic film. The bird-of-paradise potted plant was flitted across the corner without any exception, and the plastic film was crumpled up and thrown into the trash can.

He is not supernatural enough to be able to dismantle the camera at a glance, but the weird feeling of being watched is always with him, how can he not understand what is here?This feeling didn't disappear until he walked into the bedroom.

The first suspect that popped up in Qiao Zhou's mind was the elegant and smiling Shao Xinglan.

In this regard, Qiao Zhou's feeling is...

Nothing feels.

It's better to say that he is actually used to this kind of life.

After all, he has always felt that he is living in a large game. Since it is a game, of course there are players, producers, and npcs. Maybe a certain player who plays Earth Noline is also a game anchor, and their lives have long been based on certain In this way, people can see through. The monitor is just a small program in the game. He doesn't even mind that he may be a piece of code. Why should he care if he is seen?

What's so good about a string of code?Oh, no, if it was him, then this code must be of great value.

Qiao Zhou even had time to lament Shao Xinglan's high bottom line. If it was him, he would have installed a camera in his bedroom. It's too strange to face someone who is obviously an important NPC and give up exploring because of mere concerns. up.

In the next few days, just as Shao Xinglan said, Qiao Zhou was treated as a five-star VIP here, and his basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation were all in accordance with the standards of civil servants, and no one restricted his travel and various freedoms. report, and get the treatment of a car pick-up and drop-off. The Special Investigation Office also kept his identity a secret. The neighbors thought he was a new employee of a certain department. When they met, they greeted him politely and chatted occasionally. .

But what Qiao Zhou didn't know was that after the people who chatted with him got out of the elevator, they turned around and entered another room, and recorded the conversation in detail, including Qiao Zhou's expression and actions at that time. The monitoring is recorded, but the feeling of real face-to-face communication cannot be ignored.

After such a terrifying all-round analysis, Shao Xinglan finally reappeared in front of Qiao Zhou half a month later. This time, the smile on Shao Xinglan's face was more sincere, like...

Qiao Zhou thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that it was as if he had gone to a certain training class. There was a kind of human appeal in it, and it was no longer a stylized "expression".

Qiao Zhou looked at Shao Xinglan with probing eyes, and he was a little curious, how did he do it?

Shao Xinglan's reason for coming was very simple. He invited Qiao Zhou to go with him to a new black hole near the capital.

Of course, he didn't mention Vincent and the final council, he just said euphemistically that this black hole is about games, and the capital's special mediation department has a lot of talents, but in terms of games, no one can surpass Qiao Zhou. I hope Qiao Zhou can Use his strengths to help the fallen among them return.

"If you have a suitable candidate to recommend, you can also join us," Shao Xinglan was full of hints, "No matter who it is, we will always come."

Qiao Zhou understood what he meant, and an unprecedented thought suddenly emerged: "Anyone can do it?"

Shao Xinglan laughed, with a sense of encouragement in his smile: "It doesn't matter who it is."
