After midnight

Chapter 160 Map

What's this? "

"The map left by Qiqi."

"This map seems very complicated." Yin took it from An Yan and looked at it but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Well, Qiqi is very smart. I'm afraid we have to restore the flat map into a three-dimensional one in order to find the information she has hidden."

"I know, I'll find someone to do it." After Yin finished speaking, the study on the second floor returned to the tranquility before An Yan and Su Ziling came. In this tranquility, Su Ziling looked at An Yan pursing his lips and not knowing how to speak, and he gritted his teeth and blurted out the words.

"Brother, the experiment is still going on."

"What do you mean?" Yin didn't react for a moment.

"What it means is that people like the July 7th Movement, the May Fourth Movement, and any of them are still being produced in an endless stream." Su Ziling narrated calmly, but this could not hide the sadness and chill in his heart.

"How is that possible?" Yin looked at An Yan in panic.

"Without An Yan, how could they create a monster like that again!"

"It's true. Qiqi told us."

An Yan turned his head to avoid Yin's gaze and Su Ziling's words. He didn't know and couldn't answer.

"Okay, I get it." Hearing this, Yin had no choice but to restrain himself and calm himself down. "I'll find someone to build a model of that damn place as soon as possible. Before that, Anyan, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans. I'll wait for you to figure it out."

"Okay, then I'll make a long-term plan after I figure it out. Anyan, let's wait until we figure it out first." Yin looked at Anyan. He knew Anyan was serious this time and would definitely prevent future troubles, so he repeatedly reminded Anyan. Anyan also understood the meaning of Yin's words being said twice, so he nodded and promised Yin.

"Brother, let's go first. An Yan has to go see Uncle Fang later." Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Su Ziling said.

"Wait a minute, will you tell the Revolutionary Army about what you just said?"

An Yan shook his head, "Yin, just like you said, it's not the right time yet."

"Well, you guys go back. And be careful when you go talk to Fang Hao."

"Yeah. Brother, we'll go first then."

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as there's any progress."

"it is good."

After An Yan and Su Ziling left, Ye walked into Yin's study.

"Go and call Jing back." Yin said, and Ye quickly went out again.

On the first day after Qiqi's death, before An Yan walked into Fang Hao's office in Xindu Building, Xu Xing and Bai Ming were called over first. This was the first time they walked into Fang Hao's office.

"Sit down. I've always heard that Mr. Li has two very outstanding students. You two must be my students."

"I don't dare to worry, Uncle Fang." Xu Xing said.

"There's nothing to be modest about. You are all talents of my revolutionary army. Xu Xing and Bai Ming, right? Sit down."

After Xu Xing and Bai Ming sat down, Wang Changze came in and poured a cup of tea for each of them. Xu Xing and Bai Ming looked up and saw him, and quickly lowered their heads to hide their surprised expressions. Wang Changze chuckled, moved his body away from them, and walked out quickly. He closed the door after he walked out.

"Let me be frank. I came to you because I want to know what happened last night. Oh, you don't have to tell me about July 7 and May 4. I believe An Yan. You just need to tell me what's going on with the Battle No. 1 hanging window? How come I have never heard of it!"

Xu Xing and Bai Ming looked at each other, and Bai Ming said, "We conducted this research privately. We originally wanted to report it to the teacher after we had some results. It was our fault for not informing him in advance. However, the research and development of the Battle No. 1 and No. 2 hanging windows have just started. We were forced to unveil them in advance last night because of the emergency. Now, the No. 1 hanging window has been scrapped."

"So that's how it is. What function do you want to achieve with it?"

Bai Ming looked at Xu Xing, and Xu Xing continued, "What function do you want it to achieve?"

Fang Hao laughed out loud when he heard this. "I want peace and development, so we have the new capital now. But some things cannot be accomplished if I just want them. I need a secret weapon other than the Son of God. Don't worry, you have performed very well. After this battle is over, you will continue to study and further your education."

"Yes, Uncle Fang."

Fang Hao nodded, "May Fourth, is he at your place now?"

"He...didn't come back last night."

"When did he start being here? I think he's been here since the heavy rain in the water maze in mid-November."

"Uncle Fang, we didn't know at first. I was the one who left him behind, and Xu Xing didn't know either." When this was mentioned, Bai Ming hurriedly defended Xu Xing.

"It's okay. You must know that the real combat power of the Revolutionary Army is very weak compared to the three major families. I just miss Xuanfeng a little."

Lin Xuanfeng, they all knew, was the 'Wind Dancer' of the Revolutionary Army.

"When did you find out his identity?"

"Oh……"

"Not long ago." Xu Xing interrupted Bai Ming. "We only found out about it after Qiqi came to look for someone and An Yan told us."

"Yes, it gave me a big shock at that time."

"Okay, I understand." Fang Hao nodded. "You must always remember that you are the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army needs every one of you. Well, you worked hard last night, so go back and rest early today. There will be many places that need you in the future, and will need you to work harder."

"Yes, Uncle Fang."

Xu Xing and Bai Ming walked out of the office and saw Wang Changze again. They tacitly didn't say anything more. After passing him, they turned and walked up the suspension ladder, which descended to the seventh floor and stopped.

They walked out of the ladder, turned right, and walked about 30 meters to open the door of an office. This office was not very spacious, and was filled with documents and sundries, but it faced the sun and had clean windows. Xu Xing took off his coat and folded it on the window seat and said, "I'm going to report to the teacher later, and then I plan to go to the research institute. What about you? If you have nothing to do, go back to the bar first. Wu Si... I don't know if Xiao Wu is back."

"I'll go back to the bar, and you can sort out the information yourself?"

"I'll sort it out."

"That's fine. The idea of ​​the battle window was originally created by you alone. I should have told Uncle Fang just now."

"Tell him what to do? I like the job I have now. Ming, if you don't like doing research and just want to focus on running the bar, that's fine too."

"Let's talk about it later. It's not that annoying now anyway."

"Ah."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute, Uncle Fang doesn't like us to come into contact with Anyan, Ming, you should be more careful next time."

"What are you being careful about? Not seeing An Yan?" Bai Ming was very confused.

"I mean be careful when you meet An Yan."

"Got it." Bai Ming opened the door and went out. Xu Xing looked at him and didn't know whether he had listened to him or not. He knew Bai Ming well. It was difficult for others to force him to do something he didn't like. But Xu Xing himself, he only thought about Bai Ming, and he never avoided the idea of ​​An Yan.

Xu Xing shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He walked to the filing cabinet and began to organize the information.

Bai Ming flew back to the bar. Xishui International started to get busy at six o'clock. He went up to the bar on the sixth floor. The door of the "Black and White" bar was ajar. He knew the door was ajar because he had come here again last night and opened the door. He was afraid that Xiaowu had nowhere to go.

Bai Ming was timid again when he went in. He didn't know what to do or what to say when he saw Xiao Wu. But the bar was quiet, which was incompatible with the noise of the mall outside. Bai Ming looked around the bar and didn't see anyone.

There was no one, not at the front desk, not in the lobby, not in the storage room, not even in his own room.

Xiaowu didn't come back.

An Yan arrived at Xindu Building via the hanging window. This time he did not bring Su Ziling with him and entered Fang Hao's office alone.

"Uncle Fang." He called out. Fang Hao nodded and didn't let An Yan sit down.

"The reason I agreed to help Qiqi was because of a deal, and May Fourth was part of that deal."

Fang Hao didn't say anything, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. But seeing his expression, An Yan continued. "Qiqi came to me in the middle of this month, on the day when the water maze flooded. She said she wanted to stay with me for a while, and then as a trade, she would give me a map of the place."

"where?"

"There."

"You mean there?"

An Yan nodded. "I agreed, but then she made a second request to me, which was not to harm her companion Wu Si. I didn't agree immediately, but I didn't refuse rashly either. So her second request was delayed until the massacre of Beizhong by Eleven happened."

At this point, An Yan stopped again. The fact that Eleven killed 137 people in Beizhong caused a sensation. Fang Hao couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

"You promised her."

"Yes, I must get the map so that I can catch them all."

"What's next?"

"After I agreed to her, I found out where Wu Si was. For various reasons, I didn't alert him and let him stay with Xu Xing."

"When did Xu Xing and the others know about this?"

"I told them after Qiqi went to the bar to look for Wusi for the first time. Because Qiqi's plan was about to begin."

"Qiqi's plan? Last night?"

"Yes, I was very curious from the beginning why Qiqi came to me to make a deal. Because the content of her deal with me was very strange. She said she wanted to stay with me for a while and gave a very specific number."

"Uncle Fang." An Yan called him, "I guess she has her own plan all along. She took the initiative to lure Song Yu and the others to Xindu."

"Why would she do that? I don't understand."

"I didn't understand it at first, but later I found out that she was going to die soon. So I guess she did this because she wanted to use her last trump card to buy a glimmer of hope for her companions."

"He's a smart man." Fang Hao exclaimed.

"Uncle Fang, we have now obtained the map left by Qiqi. I decided to turn the passive situation into active and not wait any longer. After the death of Eleven and Qiqi, only Zero One, Thirty-Two, Sixty-Nine and Five-Four are left. I suspect that the competition among various forces for them will become more and more intense, because Qiqi's death proves that they may have internal strife. After the death of Eleven, the once quiet situation will slowly be broken."

"What you said makes sense. The May Fourth Movement has now become our powerful weapon." Fang Hao said after a moment of hesitation.

"Yes, among these people now, Wu Si is within my control."

"That map..."

"Qiqi is very smart. There is nothing marked on the map, so I can't understand it for a moment. But I believe that only I can crack her tricks. After all, we climbed out of the same abyss, and I dare not forget that place." Fang Hao looked at An Yan for a long time without saying a word, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"Uncle Fang, please believe me. There will be a fierce battle between them and me in the future, and I will definitely seek your help then. I hope you can understand that I have to solve this matter by myself."

"In that case, I'll wait for you to contact me. It's getting late, and I'm almost ready for a meeting. An Yan, there's no rush for this matter. You should take a good rest for a while, and come to me anytime if you have anything."

"Okay, Uncle Fang."

After An Yan left, Fang Hao sat for a while and then stood up and left. An Yan was right. At present, keeping Wu Si in Xindu was the best solution. However, Song Yu also understood the truth that An Yan understood. It depends on what Song Yu will do next. Fang Hao's intuition told him that as long as An Yan did not move, Song Yu would not move for the time being. Peace is precious. Their revolutionary army must seize the time to make a breakthrough in real technology.

It was six o'clock in the evening, and Bai Ming was sitting alone in the bar. It was almost time for the Black and White Bar to open, but he had waited all day but it didn't come back. In fact, he had prepared everything for today, and it was not impossible for him to open the bar now, but he simply didn't want to open it.

Bai Ming glanced at the door and turned over the wooden sign hanging on the door, changing it to "temporarily suspended business".

The sky got a little darker. It always gets dark very quickly at this time of winter. Bai Ming waited for a while and received a letter from Xu Xing. Xu Xing said that he was going home after get off work. Xu Xing did not ask about Xiao Wu's situation in the letter, so should he go home first or wait a little longer?

Bai Ming thought about it for a while and decided to go back first, because he felt that Xiao Wu might never come back.

Bai Ming stood up and walked to the door. This time he took down the wooden sign, put the two doors together and hung them up again. The sign saying "Closed" was hung in front, so that it looked like the door was locked. He finished his work and turned his head away.

He ran into Wu Si who was standing behind him.

"Xiaowu! Are you back?"

"Well, I have nowhere to go."

"Then hurry in." Bai Ming said as he took down the wooden sign, pushed the door open, and greeted Xiaowu in an extremely skillful manner.

"I'm sorry it's closed today. I was going to get back as soon as possible."

"These are all trivial matters, don't talk too much."

"Ah."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the atmosphere fell into silence. Bai Ming saw Wu Si looking down at the floor, so he said, "You haven't had a good rest since last night."

"Ah."

"Then you should go back to your room and have a good sleep. Do you think I should stay?"

"Boss, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

"Okay." Bai Ming patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Wu, no matter who you are, you will always be Xiao Wu in my heart, and this will always be the place you can stay. So, Xiao Wu, you can call me Ming from now on."

"Yeah, A Ming." Bai Ming tried to call out.

When Bai Ming walked out of the Black and White Bar, he found a person still standing outside the door. Bai Ming was also very familiar with this person, his name was Qing. Qing had just followed Wu Si not far away, but did not go in.

Bai Ming walked closer to him and said, "Did you send him back?"

Qing shook his head and turned away.

Really, each one of them is so weird, no wonder Xu Xing likes them so much.

Bai Ming smiled softly and went home. Be careful when you come into contact with An Yan in the future? Who would care so much?
