Chapter 184: Outsiders (Part 2)

"What's wrong? You look very happy today."

C looked at Le Xiao who was humming a song. The joy on her face was fully expressed. She worked very hard, as if she wanted to finish work quickly and go home.

"Cousin, I have to go to the General Affairs Department today. You go back first."

C felt a little strange, because the section chiefs had a short meeting today. It seemed that something had happened, but seeing Le Xiao like this, C was still a little worried.

"Then I'll go back first."

Everything in the city has been relatively stable in the past few days. Section 2 is still conducting a comprehensive investigation in Frye Psychiatric Hospital. People from Section 10 are also there, trying to infer the technology in the hands of the rioters from some of the remaining things, including possible clues.

Many cases have begun to surface. Those cases that were completely unsolvable in the past are basically related to Frye Psychiatric Hospital. Some cases were actually done by patients in the hospital. It seems that Frye used some means to let the patients complete their plans.

According to some memory fragments provided by clone Fry, a little clue can be found, but what makes C a little strange is that the methods used to control patients in Fry's memory have been practiced by Departments 4 and 10, but they are useless.

So C suspects that it is not the method in the memory of clone Fry. C is now watching many places in the city every day. Mo Xiaolan has handed over the command of the spy team secretly planted by Department 2 to C.

In the past, C never thought that one day he would have such high-intensity work. After all, C was extremely disappointed with the whole city. Many people in their Department 2 took on everything and buried the darkness. They were exhausted both physically and mentally, but the city was still the same.

"What's wrong with cousin? Did you encounter something happy? The filming of the movie went smoothly."

Le Xiao muttered, and C laughed.

"It's going well. You should work hard. I'm going back home first."

C left the Technology Ball Experience Store. The street was the busiest at this time. C walked along and recalled everything that happened in the past. C was very reluctant to recall that because there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart. Until this hope was forgotten, C chose to let go of everything.

"I really..."

Several men came to chat with him on the side of the road. C dealt with them with a smile, but several men were relentless. C ignored them and walked quickly. Several men were a little helpless. If they were the lower level in the past, they might be bolder and forcefully pulled, but now it's different. The streets are full of people from Sections 3 and 5.

The officers in all areas of the lower level are on guard and will never let any problems occur in the lower level. Niya has issued a death order to them. During the motion, there must be no riots.

In C's view, everyone in the Action Department is working hard, which is completely different from the past. Looking at the pairs of passing officers, many of them have smiles on their faces, no longer aimless as in the past.

As soon as C walked into the path leading to Le Xiao's house, he noticed the people from the 2nd Department around him. They were just like ordinary people, talking and laughing or busying themselves. C nodded slightly. Just a few steps away, C saw K leaning against the wall of a house.

"Shouldn't you be busy with the nursing home? Do you have time to come?"

K laughed.

"Today's affairs have come to an end for the time being. Although I'm busy, there's always time for a meal. I'll treat you."

C nodded and went back to Su Xin's house to tell her that he would not go back for dinner that night. Le Wen and Su Xin were preparing dinner.

The couple seemed to have reconciled, but the only one who was still in the dark was Le Xiao herself.

K took C to a nearby restaurant with a good environment and had already reserved a seat.

"I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."

C muttered, and K laughed.

"Same, everyone can see it now, hope is within reach."

C stared at K in a daze, and laughed after thinking for a while.

"Indeed, it's right in front of us. This time, we can really see and touch it."

Both of them knew that recently, everyone in the Operations Department, including many councillors, has been working hard, because everyone has seen the changes in the city, the great hope that has emerged, and the opportunity to completely solve many problems, so everyone is enthusiastic, and it is no longer a stagnant city like in the past, without any changes.

"We are really lucky."

K took a bottle of wine and poured a glass for C. The two nodded. As the earliest members of the Operations Department, they experienced the ups and downs of the Brilliant City. From the beginning, they had great hopes, but in the end, they could no longer see the light. This is not a problem of insufficient efforts, but the city must develop and must enter the next stage.

"By the way, I want to tell you something."

C nodded, looking at K who seemed a little embarrassed, she asked with her hand on her chin.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Well! It's like this. After the matter is over, I want to go back to Section 2. You tell Xiaolan."

K's words surprised C a little. He raised the wine glass and took a sip, then put it down.

"What else can I do for this city? I have thought about this issue countless times. Although I have been wandering around outside for so many years, I have always thought about this issue. I think now is the best time. "

C sighed.

"Go and explain to Mo Xiaolan yourself."

9 pm

Le Xiao was already dizzy with hunger, but she was still listening to Michelle talking about some questions. Le Xiao could only watch hard and press her empty stomach.

"Have you not eaten?"

Michelle asked, and Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"I ate a little early because I have to go home tonight."

All Le Xiao could think about was going home, and rushing home to be in the same room with Gene, even if it was for an hour, or even for a minute.

"Okay, you can go back and rest today, and come to my office on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I understand, Your Excellency Secretary-General."

Le Xiao looked at Michelle with a smile. She didn't know why Michelle was not as cold as before today. She didn't know what happened, but she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Secretary Le Xiao, didn't you tell a former pioneer that you would solve this problem? I want to hear your thoughts."

Le Xiao just walked to the door and scratched her head with a smile. She actually didn't think about it at all, because her head was about to explode. There was no room to think about such things, but she still had to do what she said.

"I think we can give them a little compensation. Based on the workload and time they spent participating in the pioneering plan, we can give them a little bit of land or something?"

Michelle thought for a moment and then said.

"Draft a proposal as soon as possible."

Le Xiao hummed and started running happily. She ran downstairs in a flash. When she met someone in the business department who wanted to salute her, she could only express it with a naughty smile.

"Master Le Xiao, do you want to eat something?"

As soon as she went to the canteen, the head chef called Le Xiao, she stuck out her tongue and said.

"No, I want to go home and have a big dinner."

Le Xiao decided to eat until she lay down and drink until it was dark. She still had too many things to say to Jean.

As soon as they got off the stairs, reporters followed within a few minutes, Le Xiao said immediately.

"No interviews today."

Le Xiao quickly ran down the street. She wanted to make herself hungrier so that she could have a good meal when she went back.

Le Xiao met many people along the way, so he could only smile and wave. Many people still followed him. People from Section 5 immediately sent several teams over and blocked some people who wanted to talk to Le Xiao and take photos. He came to Lexiao's side.

"Sorry, thank you all for the hard work."

Finally seeing the apartment, Le Xiao smiled and ran upstairs among the wall of people from the five departments. There were cheers all around. She returned to the door and opened the door with a smile.

"Jean I'm back."

Le Xiao shouted, the lights were on in the room, Le Xiao swallowed, stretched out her nose and sniffed, it seemed that there was no aroma, Le Xiao quickly walked into the living room, a sound came, and "Little Children" was played on the light and shadow screen. "Animal Paradise", Le Xiao looked at it with some nostalgia. This cartoon was her favorite when she was a child, and she once thought that this place really existed.

"you........."

Le Xiao frowned slightly and looked at the strange child sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Jamie was startled and stood up hurriedly. He looked around awkwardly and then said.

"Hello, my name is Jamie, I'm from the kangaroo country!"

Le Xiao groaned and was completely confused. She tilted her head and looked at the little boy with a sallow face and skinny muscles.

"Where's Gene?"

"Jean went out for something and said he wouldn't be back tonight."

The warm picture in Le Xiao's mind instantly shattered and burned to ashes. She winked and pouted, and said angrily.

"Really, I made a deal with someone, but they let me go. I was starved for several hours."

Jamie stood up hurriedly and said.

"Jean has already prepared something to eat. It's something called barbecue."

Le Xiao swallowed a mouthful and immediately started tinkering beside the sofa. Then a light and shadow oven came out. What Le Xiao liked most was to eat barbecue and drink wine while watching movies. This was the best thing for Le Xiao.

"What's your name, sister?"

Le Xiao blinked and laughed, thinking that the child was quite shy and looked very innocent.

"My name is Lexiao, Jamie."

Jamie looked at Lexiao in shock. He remembered what Captain John had told him that night at the beach. He would meet a woman named Lexiao, and this woman would change his life.

"It's really on point."

Lexiao was getting more and more weird. She hummed and went to the refrigerator to get a mustard-flavored popsicle. She also took one to Jamie.

"Gene said I can't eat food that's too cold or too hot because I have stomach problems."

Le Xiao blinked.

"Where did you just say you were from?"

"Kangaroo country."

Le Xiao made a strange sound again, scratching her head completely. She scratched her head and asked.

"Little brother, are you the child of Jean's friend's family?"

Le Xiao felt that this child was a bit silly and looked really dumb.

"Didn't Jean tell you? I just came to this city today. I was discovered by your people from the dark mountain."

The more Le Xiao listened, the more strange it felt. She immediately closed her eyes and pinched her nose with a spicy mustard popsicle, and tears burst out of her eyes. Jamie looked at Le Xiao's series of actions in amazement. He swallowed and looked at the popsicle on the table.

"What's the harm in trying it?"

Le Xiao said as she went to the refrigerator to take out the meat that Gene had already processed and marinated. Looking at the large pot full of various meats and some fresh vegetables, Le Xiao wiped her saliva and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet. A mouthful of mustard popsicle and a mouthful of wine doubled the refreshing feeling.

Jamie stretched out his nose and sniffed.

"Can you give me a bottle?"

"Children can't drink alcohol."

Le Xiao stuck out her tongue and wiped her tears. Jamie swallowed and looked at the wine in Le Xiao's hand.

"I've drunk it many times before."

Le Xiao still didn't give it to her. She planned to start eating barbecue, but Le Xiao was still confused about this strange child. After putting the barbecue on the table, Le Xiao muttered.

"Speak nicely. Did your parents ask Gene to take care of you? After all, I heard that Gene used to like being a nanny."

Jamie had no idea what Le Xiao meant, but he also knew that Le Xiao didn't believe he was from outside.

"I really came from the outside world. By the way, the person who found me was called Alpha."

Le Xiao nodded and laughed.

"Who cares? Let's eat first."

Jamie swallowed. This thing called barbecue was the first time he saw it. Fredo had mentioned it before. The taste was really special and very fragrant. Looking at the wine on the table, Jamie leaned over again.

"Can you give me a taste?"

Le Xiao still said no and pulled the bottle in front of him.

"If you want to drink, wait until you grow up."

At this time, accompanied by a knock on the door, Le Xiao ran over with some expectation. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two dumplings.

"Le Le, are you eating barbecue?"

"Ning Ning, why are you here?"

Le Xiao was a little surprised, and Hua Shen on the side smiled helplessly.

"The meat is burnt."

Le Xiao was startled and hurried back to turn off the fire and turn the meat. He frowned and looked at Jamie.

"Little boy, why don't you turn the meat?"

Jamie said sorry a little helplessly.

"I'm not used to it yet, Sister Le Xiao."

A few minutes later, Le Xiao covered her cheeks and looked at Jamie with blushing cheeks. Gu Ningning patted her head.

"Le Le, your reaction arc is still so long."

Hua Shen laughed.

"I really admire you."

Le Xiao looked at Jamie in surprise.

"Are you really from the country of kangaroos, the kangaroos that jump and jump in the animation?"

Jamie nodded.

"This is the highest secret of Brilliant City at present. Only the secretary and several councilors know it. Don't talk nonsense."

Hua Shen and the others came to give Jamie a physical examination. This is also Gene's request. There is no need to be in those cold laboratories. It is better to be at home.

"Really?"

Le Xiao still didn't believe it. Gu Ningning took out the light and shadow screen after eating a piece of meat.

"Come on Lele, I'll show you a video."
