Chapter 621 - 592: Thank You All So Much! (Double-Length)
Zuo Bai’s expression froze instantly, shifting rapidly from initial shock and despair to utter bewilderment.
His first reaction was: This is an outrage!
Do scientists have no dignity? What do they think I am, a package waiting to be shipped?
Indeed, the developments after encountering [Destiny] were ten thousand times more bizarre than he had imagined.
His second reaction was: Wait a minute, what’s going on... does [Destiny] have an employer?
Is [Destiny] working on commission?
A delivery service?
Wow!
The impact of this speculation on Zuo Bai even temporarily overshadowed the fear of being surrounded.
He felt as if he had inadvertently glimpsed the universe’s most gigantic and absurd secret!
For a moment, the steadfast worldview he held for so long was nearly shattered.
Zuo Bai: "??? "
Then, wild thoughts began to shoot off in Zuo Bai’s mind:
Can someone tell me where [Destiny] takes orders? What is their order process? Do they have customer service? Do they support online payments? How’s the review system?
...If I open an order right now, immediately, would I still be in time?
Dong! Dong! Dong dong dong!
The fourth knock on the door seemed to have exhausted all "courtesy" outside based on sound frequency analysis.
Zuo Bai’s eyes darted quickly, and his brain chip overclocked, instantly evaluating all possibilities.
Resist?
That would only mean replaying the script from the last encounter!
Escape?
They found me even in a safe house, where can I run!
Initiate self-destruction?
Come on, I’m the original body, not a clone.
Call for backup?
Who can I call, who would dare to answer~
In 0.87 seconds, Zuo Bai ran through 99 plans in his mind, eliminating all dead ends, discovering the only faint chance of survival.
Though very slim, with survival probability less than one percent, it seemed to be hidden in the phrase "intact packaging" and "pack yourself".
"Ssss—clank!"
The sound of the heavy airtight valve unlocking echoed.
The rusty, heavy iron door of the container slowly swung outward.
Zuo Bai stepped out with hands raised high, as obedient as a harmless lab mouse.
As if he were not a sinister and crazy scientific maniac, but just a law-abiding, harmless scientist.
Master of Ceremonies grinned with a satisfied smile, as Red Dragonfly and a few others gathered behind him.
Red Dragonfly and Captain of the Constables showed little change in expression, but Wild Beast happily waved at Zuo Bai, like an old friend, joy evident on his face.
Zuo Bai glanced at them, his eyes involuntarily shifting to the portable cold storage box in Wild Beast’s hand, his eye twitching slightly.
He took a deep breath and said quite self-consciously:
"No need for you to lift a finger, just tell me what shape you need me packed in, I’ll do it myself!"
Zuo Bai was not only a harmless scientist but also incredibly self-aware as a piece of cargo.
The members of Squad 103 exchanged glances, Zuo Bai’s excessive compliance and high self-awareness made them feel a bit embarrassed.
Suddenly, it seemed as if [Destiny] really became the villain~
Inside the taxi, Wu Shou stared in amazement at the peaceful and friendly scene before him: "..."
Learned something today!
Truly did learn something!!
Wu Shou struggled to unbuckle the seat belt with his only mobile left hand, propping himself up and slowly inching towards the driver’s seat with clenched teeth.
In this world, even cargo packs itself, so how could a taxi driver let passengers drive?
Even if he had only one movable hand left, Wu Shou felt he must, no, he had to continue driving.
After all, getting into a car accident on the road is better than having no car at all~
Driving is his means of livelihood, how could he let a passenger drive?
Wu Shou grasped the steering wheel, baring teeth in the most professional service worker’s grin:
"May I ask where you are heading next? Please do tell me, this taxi assures you of the most professional service, guaranteeing safe delivery using the optimal route."
Zuo Bai, drawn by Wu Shou’s voice, took a long look at him and had two lightning-quick judgments in mind:
First, the driver is not one of [Destiny]’s people, he has been coerced;
Second, the driver was the one who brought [Destiny] to find him.
Zuo Bai’s attention was on [Destiny] before, but now he registered it, deeply committing this face to memory.
If, by any chance, he somehow survives this ordeal, he must pay a visit to this enthusiastic driver later.
Though Zuo Bai’s main work is as a scientist, he doesn’t take much interest in other vile organizations’ secrets.
Hence, he had heard of the "Corpse Recovery Man" profession, knowing they were skilled at picking up corpses, often disguising themselves as taxi drivers.
But his knowledge was limited, knowing they excelled at finding bodies, unaware they were also adept at finding the living.
This made sense, after all, for an evil organization, their methods are rarely public knowledge.
Unless it’s Night Watcher backed by official vast intelligence networks or [Destiny], an industry giant who holds sway, it’s hard to be familiar with every detail of peers.
This refers to [Destiny], not Squad 103.
Squad 103 learned to locate through Corpse Recovery Man thanks to [Clown]’s task hint.
Master of Ceremonies turned to look at Wu Shou, a strange smile on his face:
"You want to take us there?"
