Black Mountain Technology · Ground Office Building
second floor office

As soon as noon arrived, the small AIC on Charlie's desk began to tell the time automatically.

A slender and crisp voice sounded, and the dark blue round hole looked around nimbly.

boom -

Rolling thunder echoed in the dark clouds.In the storm, the branches and raindrops beat the windows quickly,

Hurricane Arthur just made landfall on the East Coast today.Bring plenty of rain...and bad weather.

"An unmistakable forecast."

His black colleague walked down the aisle with a coffee cup.When passing by, he stopped for a while and teased.

"O'Neal, you're just envious that I have an AIC model, but you don't."

Charlie's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly closed a pile of documents on the monitor.

O'Neill was a little upset about last year's loss: "This year's best employee will be me, and I will also get the AIC model at that time."

"But you are still the second, forever." After putting the computer to sleep, Charlie looked up at his colleague and best friend proudly.

O'Neal rolled his eyes and left.Charlie turned to clear the table.

"But it's bad weather, isn't it?"

A flaxen-haired long-haired female colleague sitting next to him poked her head over and made fun of him.

"Hey!" Charlie pushed her swivel chair away in displeasure. "At least it's on the right date."

"Maybe tomorrow it will say that today is Christmas." The female colleague shrugged, and she was the first to leave after packing up her seat.

Charlie cleaned the table after him, got up and went to the cafeteria on the first floor.It's impossible to go out to eat in this kind of ghost weather.

[Remember to bring me two AA batteries, no ketchup. ]
AIC shouted behind him.

Charlie waved his hand without looking back.

Office workers are gradually leaving.A few minutes later, there was only silence and the muffled thunder outside the window.

AIC's big eyes moved flexibly, and after a while the light dimmed and it entered standby mode.

An hour later, a finger gently tapped the case of the AIC model.

If awakened, the round hole of the AIC gradually lights up with a circle of dark blue.

[You're back, did you bring the battery? ]
"Here." Charlie put the battery in the bag in front of the AIC.His hair was a little wet, it had rained a little earlier.

He got up and hung his coat on the hook again, sat down again and exhaled, "Why do you always need batteries when you need to charge?"

From the moment the battery appeared, AIC's eye fell on it without blinking.

[Just like humans can maintain their physiological functions as long as they are full, but also eat barbecue pizza pasta. ]
"Okay, I think I get it..." Charlie dried his fingers and turned on the computer screen. "But you just don't see it."

[What do you think of that Taylor Swift lingerie poster on the wall opposite. ]
"...understand." Charlie was speechless.

[Hi!This is not AA battery. ]
A few minutes later, AIC suddenly called out in a childish and crisp voice.

"Uh..." Charlie put down the phone, picked up a battery and looked it over, and found that it was a AAA battery.

He tried to justify: "Although meat is delicious, it's also good to eat some vegetables. You can't be picky eaters."

AIC seems to be so honest.After more than ten minutes, the employees returned to the office one after another.

It's time for work.

Employees are starting to get into a new round of things.Some are responsible for selecting testers, some are responsible for writing copies, and some are secretly watching the American TV series "Under the Dome".

The wind and rain outside showed no sign of stopping.

The office was dark and no one turned on the lights.This silence with only the sound of typing and coughing from time to time lasted for a while until a certain moment.

[…opening your favorite web page: Purn.Keywords: Blonde, Petite Selected. ]
Untimely crisp sound instantly in the office

More than a dozen gazes neatly crossed the bezel and looked at the desk where AIC was.

[Let me go let me go--]
Charlie picked up the AIC in a cold sweat and turned off its base switch, Jiang Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.Holding up a smile, he explained to the surroundings: "You know, AIC always does this kind of thing..."

Startled by the voice, the manager poked his head out of the office and nodded: "Yes, we don't think you will watch these during work."

The implication was that they just thought he wasn't going to watch it while he was at work.

Charlie's face was flushed, he sat down helplessly, and pretended to start his work, but he was actually just typing on the keyboard blindly at the blank document.

This lasted for a few minutes, but he still turned on the AIC softly.

The AIC also seems to have calmed down, leaving only the mechanical sound of the eyes turning.

[O'Neal, are you there? ] AIC whispered.

"what's up?"

O'Neal in Charlie's backseat craned his neck.

[You little niko~]
"Pfft..." The female colleague next to her laughed, and then covered her mouth.

O'Neill shook his head and said, "Charlie, you're going to kiss my fist this Saturday."

Before Charlie could refute, AIC said again: [Anthony, I just learned a Chinese song, do you want to listen to it? ]
"I'd love to hear it." Anthony stared at Charlie maliciously.

It had been a long time since he had given Charlie a reasonable beating.

[I want the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the crooked moon...]
Anthony leaned forward and strangled Charlie's neck.

During a fight, AIC's dark blue eyes turned to the gloomy weather outside the window.

[Today is also a day of peace. ]
……

A few hours later, the calm office has returned.

The AIC model at the corner of the table has entered sleep mode, huddled there motionless.

At this moment, the sound of the radio echoed in the office.

[Starting base self-destruct procedure - 300... 299... 298...]
The same voice resounded everywhere in the Black Mountain Science and Technology Building and the underground base.

The employees looked up blankly.

"Is this April Fool's Day?"

"Today is not April Fool's Day."

"I didn't even know we had such a cool thing."

"The base self-destruct procedure... Could it be that we are actually a secret department of the government?"

"You think too much, we just make games. At most, it has nothing to do with technology."

In the office, the employees also became noisy.

"Maybe those guys from the security department are doing some acting, I'll ask."

After a while, there were conversations inside.The manager hung up the phone and appeared at the door, shaking his head in confusion, "He said they didn't know either."

The countdown continues.There were no security personnel to evacuate, and no responsible person to report the situation.

As the countdown draws to a close, confused and panic-stricken employees began to leave the office one after another and came to the lobby on the first floor.

The torrential rain flew obliquely outside the door, and the coolness hit the face.A group of employees just gathered at the door, blocked by the heavy rain.As if getting wet was worse than dying.

And at this moment, the countdown is about to end.

[3...2...1...]
[Self-destruct sequence activated—]
At this moment, all the employees of Black Mountain Technology held their breath at the same time.

Just listen to the AIC's voice ringing in all zones.

[Hahaha, Happy April Fool's Day... what?Am I wrong about the time? ]
