Chapter 131 "The Flaws of Time" Part [-]

I spent a few hours packing all my stuff, a small backpack and embarked on the journey.

Before setting off, my father and relatives tried to persuade me twice more, saying that I might not be able to do anything well out there.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, with no intention of stopping at all.

Lanbo City is far away from me, so I fell asleep as soon as I got on the long-distance bus.

The three-day drive was almost completed on the bus and at rest stops, eating, drinking, sleeping.

It was already late at night when I arrived in Lanbo City, and it was only then that I remembered that my grandfather didn't seem to tell me how to find the Time Flaw.And after thinking for a moment, I just knew that the Time Flaw should be underground in Lan Bo City.

I stayed in a shabby little hotel for one night, thinking about all the words my grandfather said to me before he died.

These words lingered in my mind repeatedly, and two sentences suddenly appeared in my mind.

Porters and rules are clear.

I figured that such a job shouldn't be too hard to find.

After a sleepless night, I went to the nearby job market early the next morning.

"What degree?"

I shook my head and said, "I never went to school, but I can read a little bit."

"Then we probably don't have any good jobs for you."

"No, I can endure hardship. And I'm very obedient and follow the rules." I said.

“How about the porters at the dock?”

pier?It seems too far away from the underground, right?

"Where's the price?" I said, thinking about finding a step to get off.

"Why are you short of money?"

I nodded my head, and it flashed through my mind that my grandfather once said that this job has high wages.

"We do have a job with a ridiculously high salary, but there is very little information about it. And it seems that he is leaving here, and it is equivalent to a long-term contract of betrayal once every five years."

"Can this be more detailed?" I said.

"Well, they will come every Monday. Tomorrow happens to be Monday. You come here early tomorrow morning and wait. The black van is there, but I don't know if you can be selected. They will take you there for an interview. We I’ve introduced many people there, but very few have gone in.”

I nodded my head and said, "Okay."

. . . . . .

I came to the job market early the next morning.

At this time, four people were waiting early.

A black van drove over and opened the door.

A man in a black suit got out of the car and said: "

I waited in the job market all afternoon.

A black van drove in, and the person who got out was a man in a suit.

After looking at the five of us, he said: "There are only five of you? Do you want me to tell you the rules again?"

Everyone said in a hurry: "What are the rules?"

"Work for five years at a time, and you can't leave during these five years. The salary is 3000 million, and you pay it all at once. Of course, it's all for nothing if I tell you. Let's go first. I'm not screening you. I don't know if you can be shortlisted. ." The man in the suit said and waved.

The five of us entered the van one after another.

Only then did I realize that not only was the van painted black, but the windows were also completely black.It seems that they don’t want us to see the outside at all and are going to a strange place.

I'm thinking that eighty percent of success is a flaw of time.

After half an hour, four of the five people except me started to commotion.

"so far?"

"Is this a blue wave?"

"Where is this taking us?"

. . . . . .

A small panel on the front of the van was put down.

The man in the suit revealed half of his head and said, "We'll be here soon. If you don't succeed in the interview, you will be sent back. Don't worry, just wait quietly."

The car stopped slowly and the door was opened.

Everyone seemed to get off in the same room.

"The first rule is that all red lines cannot be crossed. Now I will take you to the interview, and you follow me." The man in the suit said.

I came to a room with everyone, and five people sat in a row on the chairs in front of us.

In front of you is a huge glass with a red line on the edge of the glass.

I thought about the words of the man in the suit, he couldn’t go beyond the red line.

At this time, a man also appeared on the other side of the glass looking at us.

The man, wearing a lightweight full-coverage hazmat suit, looked at us.

I knew Time's Flaw was inside, and I was in the right place.

The man coughed twice, and the sound spread through his headset into the entire room.

"Hey~ hello. You turn around in circles one by one and let me see you in order." The man on the other side of the glass said.

Everyone started to circle around in circles one by one. The man smiled and said, "Everyone except this one should leave."

And the man's hand just pointed at me.

The man in the suit opened the door and said, "Sorry, the other four are all eliminated. Come this way, come back with me."

I froze in place.

The other four people began to make noises with dissatisfaction.

"What? What kind of interview is this?"

"Why did you turn around and ask for him?"

"It's not fair."

The man in the suit shook his head, took out the gun from his pocket, pointed it at everyone, and said, "Except for that man, all of them come out of the room." The four people raised their hands almost subconsciously and followed the man in the suit out.

It was just me and the man behind the glass left in the room.

The man said again: "What's your name?"

"Luqiao." I said.

"Well, do you know why I chose you?"

"I don't know." I said.

"You look a lot like an old friend of mine. Come on. Did anyone tell you when you came in? What are the rules inside?"

"No." I said.

"That's fine, the rules are changing all the time. Just remember to stay for five years and you will have 3000 million when you leave."

I nodded and said, "I understand."

"There are work clothes on the wall to your left. Once you're done wearing them, I'll open the door for you when a green light appears on your chest."

I walked to one side and there were actually some clothes on it.

The size is written on the clothes, so I ordered a piece of clothing that was very light but fully wrapped.

I got dressed.

The man's voice came again and said: "There are oxygen bottles on the wall. Plug the can on your back and press the switch. When the red changes to green, I will open the door for you."

Only then did I realize that there was a red light on my clothes, which was flashing.

I put the oxygen bottle on my back, inserted my excuse, and unscrewed the oxygen bottle.

The light on the chest changes from red to green.

The man's voice came again: "The work light on the clothes, green means there is sufficient oxygen. When it turns orange, you must leave immediately. If you find that your companion's light turns orange, you must also remind you immediately. Orange will then turn red, and red means that the pipe is inside There is no oxygen. Once this gate is opened, you cannot take off the oxygen mask inside."

I nodded my head.

"There are still many rules. Come in and I will tell you slowly." The man said and pressed the button on the side.

The glass in front of me slowly rose.

The man waved to me and I walked in slowly.

Just after crossing the red line, a green circle appeared on the miniature headshot in front of me.

"Your iris has been entered, and there is no need to know your identity here. Even if you need it, we can create a completely real passport and identity for you from each country. Once you find that the green light on the panel in front of you turns red. You need to do it within 5 minutes. If you leave, turning red means you have invaded private property? But if you don't leave, you will be judged as a dangerous person. If you are killed while red, the company will not help you, remember this. Because there are many employees, turning red here They were shot dead by customers when they were there. Some of them went to customers' homes to steal things, and of course it was mostly because of the customers' hobbies. But don't worry, as long as you don't go to places that turn red, you will enjoy the company's rights when it turns green," the man said.

"Private property?" I asked confused.

"To put it bluntly, it's the villas of rich people here and the forbidden areas of some companies. You will know these in the future, I won't go into details." The man said.

I nodded my head.

"Welcome to Time's Flaw, the place with the most wealthy people in the world. There are a hundred private villas built on the two kilometers of land, and our task is to serve them." The man said.

"Wait, what are these?" I asked confused.

The man smiled and told me what my grandfather said before he died.

Words about rich people, eternal life, service, that sort of thing.

As we talked, we entered the interior, which was completely like a small world.But it's obvious that we're underground because there are countless artificial solar panels lighting up the entire place.

I looked in front of me and said in surprise: "Is it really that magical?"

The man smiled and said, "Guess how old I am this year?"

"Thirty? Forty at most?" I said.

"I'm 78 because of the side effects here," the man said.

I pretended to be surprised and said, "No way."

The man smiled and said: "Of course, it was all caused by the incomplete protective clothing from generation to generation. It won't happen to you. The previous generation of protective clothing was able to completely isolate the air here. Of course you must remember , don’t breathe the oxygen here. If you still want to go out, of course you can’t stay in there forever. The staff here used to be replaced every ten years, but last time it was changed to every five years. Unless you take one step One step at a time to reach the top.”

"But you? Are you 78?" I said.

"Yes, I am now in the position of managing the human resources department. I stayed for more than 50 years, but I have to leave in three years. I can't get a higher position anymore. Let's talk about your job. ?" the man said.

"It's not about carrying supplies to rich people, right?" I said.

"You are lagging behind what we think. Those things have already been mechanized. But when I came here, I had done that kind of work, which is why I recruited you. You are very similar to the master who introduced me, so I will Take care of you." The man said.

"Take care of me?" I said in confusion.

The man smiled and pointed to the splendid building in front of him and said: "Old Madam, or Mr. Turtle. Are you interested?"

"This?" I said hesitantly.

"That's one of the things these rich people like to do most, because they breathe the air here and their organs don't age. So some of the more beautiful girls have also benefited from these rich people. They are all in this building, There are about 30 girls. All of them are beautiful that you can't understand. All you have to do is wait for the customer to call and send the designated girl there. How about it? This is the easiest job I can arrange for you. " said the man.

"Wait a minute, did you say they were blessed? Did they breathe the air here?" I said.

The man nodded and said: "Yes, this kind of industry is quite special. As long as you are beautiful enough, you can do it. Of course, you must ensure that there are customers. If you don't receive an order for three months, you will be kicked out of here. The consequences of leaving Of course it's a death. Of course, I feel safe leaving these girls to you to manage. If you want to have fun, you have to spend your life to have fun. Unless you can afford to buy a house here and 1000 million an hour. Pay for breathing and allow yourself to live here indefinitely.”

After the man finished speaking, he tapped the mask of my chemical protective suit with his hand, letting me understand my limitations here.

"But why do those girls choose to make money here? Aren't they unable to get out in this life?" I said.

"Why go out? In the eyes of the girl, you can have eternal youth here. And you can afford to buy whatever you want, so why not?" the man said.

The man pointed at the man who was not wearing protective clothing in the distance and said: "Look there, he is Mr. Yun Huateng, the fourth richest man in the world. The news of his sudden death seven years ago spread around the world, but in fact he came I came here to live in seclusion.”

I glanced at Yun Huateng, who was playing golf in the distance.

"This is paradise for rich people, but for those of us without money, it is a luxury. Let's go, I will take you to the place where you work. Getting familiar with it in advance is also beneficial." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly stopped where he was.

The man who stopped suddenly started coughing violently, grabbed my arm and knelt down.Coughing desperately, I immediately supported him.

I saw the blood on his mask. He knelt on the ground and was silent for a moment. Then he stood up and said: "The side effects of the protective suit happened back then. I have to go out to see a doctor. 40.00% of my lungs are necrotic. Because here, of course you can rest assured that the chemical protective clothing you are wearing now is fine. Go in by yourself, the building in front is under your management. If you don’t know how to call me, I will send the number to your hood On. By the way, call me Dahai."

The man said and walked out unsteadily, leaving me stunned for a moment.

I walked to the building the man mentioned and opened the door. As expected, there were stunning beauties of various skin colors inside.But I only have eyesight and can do nothing else.

No, I can still touch blindly.
