Chapter 18 Brand
Lu Shi suddenly came to his senses; under the stimulation of danger, the loneliness successfully receded.
He observed his surroundings.
It's 9:48 PM now. There are still some pedestrians on the road, but not many cars, especially dump trucks.
These types of construction vehicles are prohibited from operating at night, at least according to regulations.
In this situation, will 2256 be able to summon the dump truck?
Today, the steel coil truck at the abandoned construction site made Lu Shi realize the special nature of 2256.
Furthermore, the analysis department also urgently calculated the latest capabilities of 2256.
Although the previous steel coil truck driver was injured after jumping off the vehicle, at least he survived.
With the previous statements from the dump truck drivers, almost everything about 2256 has been revealed.
2256's abilities are not very strong. At present, it can only change traffic signals and make the drivers of dump trucks and other large vehicles within a certain distance feel "drowsy" or "confused".
The closer you get to the trash can, the stronger this state becomes, like being possessed by a ghost, driving out of control.
One of the steel coil truck drivers even experienced a spiritual awakening as a result.
If he is interested in delving deeper into the field of metaphysics, then they might have one more colleague.
However, judging from the current situation, the other party will most likely go to the logistics department.
"Beep beep beep!"
"Hey you, move aside! The brakes are broken!" A voice rang out from behind Lu Shi.
At this moment, Lu Shi's mystical knowledge of bloodshed and disaster subtly illuminated, triggering a jolt in his spiritual sense—if he continued to stand still, he would suffer bloodshed and disaster.
This can be considered a slight manifestation of the bloodshed and disaster.
As he dodged to the side, Lu Shi reached out and steadied the girl in the car who was losing her balance as she tried to avoid him.
Lu touched it and immediately let go. The electric car glided for another seven or eight meters before finally stopping due to the power outage.
The girl in the car blushed with anxiety, quickly stopped the car, and turned to look at Lu Shi: "I'm sorry, are you alright?"
Lu Shi squinted at the other person, then turned to look at the trash can not far away, which had stopped moving at some point.
2256's unique ability to appear anywhere in nearby trash cans makes it difficult to catch due to its speed of movement.
The analysis department is already developing a plan to capture it.
Thinking of this, Lu Shi casually said, "It's nothing."
After saying that, Lu Shi ignored the other person, took out his notebook, wrote down the point, and prepared to leave.
The girl squatted down and looked at the electric scooter's brakes, but unfortunately the brakes had completely failed and wouldn't be easy to fix.
"I'm so sorry!" The girl apologized repeatedly as Lu Shi passed by, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Shi's face, and a hint of doubt appeared on her face.
As Lu Shi walked towards the residential area, the girl dared not ride the bike anymore and could only remove the key and push the bike behind him.
She was carrying a large backpack with a fluffy doll hanging from the zipper; it was probably some trendy brand doll that Lu Shi didn't recognize.
Her high ponytail bounced, like youth itself swaying.
The two walked one after the other. Lu Shi wasn't walking very fast, and the girl pushing the cart couldn't go very fast either.
At first glance, you might think the two are in cahoots.
The atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward.
The girl wanted to say something, but it seemed like she had nothing to say.
In the midst of this awkward situation, the girl's mind started working, and she inadvertently thought of the joke about an old man and his grandson riding a donkey to the market.
A smile immediately appeared on the girl's face, but she tried to suppress it by lowering her head.
If you were to laugh out loud, it would be incredibly embarrassing!
Thinking of this, the girl quickly shifted her attention to the figure in front of her.
"Um, do you also live in Mengbi Garden?" The girl vaguely felt that she had seen Lu Shi before, but that was normal.
Mengbiyuan is a large residential community in Changshi, and this area is already nearby.
Most of the people walking on the roadside this late at night are residents.
In this situation, it's normal to see each other on the way to and from work or school.
Lu Shi paused, turning his head to look at the girl who was lagging behind.
The girl only felt that his face was familiar, but Lu Shi knew her much better than he had imagined.
She was his sister in the 'blood' sense.
Lu Yaoyao.
The name comes from the poem "Peach Blossom" in the Book of Songs.
Recipe, Shining.
The meaning of "夭夭" is that flowers are in full bloom, lush and beautiful, and full of vitality.
This is a beautiful wish for the child.
Currently a student at Changshi No.1 Middle School, in the second year of high school, seventeen years old this year, with good grades.
"..." Lu Shi glanced at Lu Yaoyao but didn't say anything more.
Although he cares about this family, it doesn't mean that their relationship is good.
In Lu Shi's definition, this family is most likely the "sacrifice" he needs to make up for his failed New Year's Eve celebration.
He doesn't need to invest too much emotion.
Seeing that Lu did not reply, the awkward atmosphere in the air seemed to intensify.
Lu Yaoyao was actually quite curious.
The other person's face always gave her a sense of familiarity.
But since the other party was unwilling to talk to her, she naturally wouldn't say anything more.
I fell silent and pushed the stroller. The May night breeze was still a bit chilly, but it soothed the weariness that came with pushing the stroller.
Lu Yaoyao looked up into the distance and found that Lu Shi had already walked far away, creating a certain distance between them.
They walked in silence and soon entered the Mengbiyuan residential area.
Lu Yaoyao, who was walking behind, saw Lu Shi enter another building and then realized what was happening.
Lu Yaoyao then pressed the elevator button, returned home, and called out.
Then I saw my father sitting on the sofa.
Suddenly, Lu Yaoyao frowned, then said, "Dad, you don't have any illegitimate children outside, do you?!"
The middle-aged man wearing glasses exclaimed "Ah!" somewhat bewildered. Why was his daughter talking nonsense after going out for tutoring?
"It's nothing." Lu Yaoyao immediately realized that the joke had gone a bit too far: "I just saw an older brother outside who looks a bit like you."
At this moment, Lu Yaoyao felt more and more that the person she bumped into tonight looked very similar to her father.
But upon closer reflection, the two have very different temperaments.
My father was hardworking, mature, and steady; he was a teacher who dedicated his entire life to his profession.
And that person could sense the other's deep-seated indifference in just that short moment of contact.
It's as if there's a thick wall around my heart.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all instantly isolated from the other person's emotions.
The slightly eccentric Lu Yaoyao did not notice the change in her father's expression.
He sat on the sofa, and a vague, inexplicable emotion was stirred within him at that moment.
At this moment, Lu Shi sat at home, his expression slightly changing.
My mind sank into the past.
At that initial time, on the evening of December 31, 1999.
Outside the delivery room, a huge brand is emerging from the dark void.
