Tianshu's residence is located on the outskirts of S City and is a small three-storey building.

It is located on the edge of the villa area, away from the hustle and bustle. However, according to the skyrocketing land prices in S City in recent years, it should be expensive, and it can be called a secluded, tasteful, properly decorated and renovated white residence——

If it doesn't have a "extrascientificlab" sign on its door.

"Extrascientific... an ultra-scientific laboratory..." Lin Huai stood in front of the door and narrowed his eyes, "I always feel that I will see mysterious creatures like Frankenstein when I go in... And what kind of secondary disease is it? , would do something like a theme cafe..."

Despite this thought, he still came to the door of the villa. A monitor is embedded in the mahogany door, next to a camera and stereo. Seeing him in front of the door, under the action of the infrared sensor, the computer synthesized mechanical voice sounded: "Welcome to extrascientificlab, please select your intention on the display screen. Please press '1' for express delivery, and ' for takeaway delivery'. 2', please press '3' to send money, and press '4' to call for other charges..."

Lin Huai:  …

He tried to press '1', and a voice came from the speaker: "Thank you for putting the courier at the door."

He pressed '2' again, and the same voice came from the stereo: "Thank you for the takeaway in the basket."

He looked up, and there was indeed a basket by the door. It was put down from the window on the second floor, and under the action of the fixed pulley fixed outside the window, the takeaway can be lifted up under the action of the motor driven by the pressure sensor, and put down again when the pressure is emptied.

Lin Huai pressed '3' in disbelief, and a voice came from the speaker: "Do not accept door-to-door cash transactions, only online electronic remittances. Supporting e-commerce is everyone's responsibility. This kind of thing doesn't need to be interviewed in person."

Lin Huai:  …

He pressed several buttons one by one, and got different (but the same made him speechless) answers. It can be seen from this that the owner of this house is probably a slacker + eccentric who is shaking the world. When he does not want to communicate with daily trivial matters, he takes into account all the factors that may disturb the house and creates a one-to-one mapping automatic Reply.

Lin Huai rang the doorbell twice, but there was no response from the door. Then, he walked around the villa again, and saw that all the windows of the villa were covered by thick curtains, making it difficult to see what was inside.

Then, he went back to the door and called Tianshu according to the information given by Qin Jiang.

After ten rings, the phone was finally connected. On the other end of the receiver was a young man's voice, very mellow and moving, but with a hoarseness and laziness as if he had just woken up: "The takeaway is downstairs, thank you—"

"I'm not delivering food." Lin Huai said, "I'm a temporary editor who came to urge the manuscript."

The voice over the receiver stopped for a while, and then said, "Oh, the door is open for you, push the door and come in. I'm on the second floor, come to me on the stairs, don't touch anything on the way."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a crisp mechanical sound from the door in front of him. Lin Huai opened the door while holding the phone, "You haven't told me where you are on the second floor—"

"In the study."

'Speaking of which, this person's voice sounds familiar...' Lin Huai thought, rubbing his chin, 'I feel like I've heard it somewhere... where have I heard it? A weirdo like this should be impressive. ’

He searched the brain for a long time and got no detailed information.

The first floor of the villa was pitch black. Lin Huai fumbled to turn on the light, and the whole arrangement of the first floor could be seen.

The interior decoration on the first floor is very simple and well-organized, as it adopts black, white and gray tones. Aside from the oversized TV screen and several computers, the rest is lackluster. The only thing that stands out is the huge refrigerator and freezer in the living room, which makes people wonder if there is something strange hidden inside. On the left side of the living room, there is a long staircase leading directly to the second floor and the basement. At the end of the stairs on the second floor, there is an iron gate that separates the second floor from the first floor.

"I don't know why I always feel like I've entered another game copy..." Lin Huai stepped up the stairs, and when he reached the end of the stairs, he knocked on the iron door.

The iron gate was not locked. With a little force, the door opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is the living room on the second floor. There is no TV in the living room, only a huge projection cloth and a projector hanging in the air. In addition to the first time, there are fluffy carpets for people to roll about and sofas for people to roll in. All the shelves next to it are filled with various video discs, video tapes and other audio-visual products. Lin Huai took a look on the ground curiously, and saw that they were arranged in an order from a to z, most of which were horror films, mystery films and fantasy films.

There are several rooms on the second floor, which are hung with inexplicable labels such as "warehouse" and "printing room", and the largest room is hung with the sign of "lab". There was a faint light in the room opposite the laboratory, and the sign of "study" hung on it.

The word "study" has an elegant gesture, and the pen is like a dragon and snake. It has the style of a celebrity -- but --

"So ugly." Lin Huai ruthlessly complained.

He knocked on the door, but the people inside didn't seem to notice, as if they were just staring at the screen in front of them, busy with writing or programming, and didn't care about the outside world. He had to clear his throat and coughed: "Teacher Tianshu, I'm here."

The people at the door still didn't respond. Lin Huai had no choice but to come in by himself. As soon as he stepped into the study, he was taken aback by the whole view of the study.

Hanging in the sky, lying on the ground, the whole room is full of bookshelves against the wall that reach the ceiling and densely packed with books, manuscripts, drawings and pens... If he hadn't confirmed that he was in the study, Lin Huai would have thought that he Came to a small library.

And facing the door is the desk, and the back of "Tianshu" sitting on the gaming chair on the massage chair. Directly in front of the desk is a giant cork board on which a lot of materials are fixed with thumbtacks.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is extremely crowded. Lin Huai tentatively stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder: "Teacher Tianshu..."

The next moment, his smile completely froze on his face.

The person sitting on the gaming chair with his back facing him was not the figure of Tianshu, who had been working hard all night, but a tall... Pikachu doll.

Pikachu turned around with his push and gave him a simple smile.

At the same time, on the sofa in the corner of the study, there was a murmur still in a dream.

"...The fourth group of control experiments was completed, and the deviation rate from the simulation results was only 0.03%. Thank you science, thank you nature, thank you cctv, and let me have this opportunity to show my scientific research results to people all over the world..."

Lin Huai:  …

The veins on his forehead jumped. Lin Huai has always been a well-educated (self-proclaimed) person (self-proclaimed), although he was a bit brutal in the past, but since he has been a man again, he has upheld the principle of being a professional and friendly person. Of course, there are many of them who kill people in modern society. factor. But for some reason, after hearing the sound from the darkness, the long-lost irritability came back to my heart.

He didn't know it at the time, and this feeling was called "I hate this person so much" and "This person is so bad to beat".

The person who needs to be beaten is lying on the sofa in the corner of the study, with long hands and feet, so he sleeps aggrievedly. He was casually covered by a quilt with a Pikachu pattern, and a magazine was covered on his face. It seemed that he hadn't slept all night for several nights, and he finally managed to fall asleep here. He held a mobile phone in his hand, casually hanging under the sofa.

"Looks like he fell asleep after calling me..." Lin Huai managed to suppress his dissatisfaction, showing some sympathy for this life that seemed to have been drained of its remaining value by society. He gently walked over to the person on the sofa, squatted beside him, and whispered, "Teacher Tianshu?"

As soon as the words fell, the man skillfully reached out a hand from the dream, groped for a moment in the air, patted his head, rubbed it like a small animal, and then turned over, I was immersed in dreamland again.

"Don't make trouble," he muttered.

Lin Huai:  …

Adhering to the principle of courtesy before soldiers, he climbed over again: "Teacher Tianshu?"

This time his head was slapped twice. The other party obviously had no intention of getting up, so he retracted his hand and continued to say in his dream, "...Say don't make trouble, you eat more than the other puppet in three months, and you won't be able to support you any more... "

Lin Huai:  …

"Get up! Submit the manuscript!" Lin Huai, who had reached the limit of his endurance, began to push the opponent. This time, the man turned over, his eyes still closed, but he grabbed the hand he was about to slash down. "...If you mess around again, I'll send you to the pet hospital..."

Lin Huai was so angry that blue veins burst out on his forehead, and he just wanted to hit someone. A trembling "meow~" came from the door.

He turned his head stiffly, and saw an orange furry lying by the door, with golden eyes staring like two bright light bulbs, staring at him and the people beside him without blinking. .

It looks like it is saying: Why are you raising other cats behind my back.

Lin Huai:  …

He is not afraid of anything in this life, and the most afraid of cats is the cat. If you want to rank the "most afraid cat" in terms of seniority, the exotic cats are not bad, but the local black cat is undoubtedly the first.

Although he doesn't hate furry things, he was chased by a vigilant black cat on the side of the road when he was just starting a new life. The cat scratched the back of his hand, causing him to spend hundreds of dollars and a lot of time driving to the CDC on rabies vaccinations. Thinking of the time and money he wasted, he couldn't help but feel shadows about the cat creature.

The orange cat in front of him, although not black, is 1.5 times larger than an ordinary black cat, making up for its lack of lethality in coat color. The orange cat stared at the two people with ambiguous postures, arched its back, and made a vigilant "ha" sound.

Lin Huai also stood up, his hand was pulled by Tianshu, so the deterrent was very insufficient. He stared at the cat, and his eyes shone terrifyingly.

‘I read the story of hunters over big cats in Animal World. As long as you look at it and don't show your cowardice, the animal will run away because of panic...' He reasoned calmly in his heart (thinking to himself), 'Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds... Although Tachibana A cat is a cat, but it is also a kind of animal after all...'

A cat and a ghost stared at each other for a moment, and after a while, the orange cat made a small "Ow" aggrievedly, and withdrew behind the door with the tip of its furry tail.

Lin Huai achieved a staged victory because of his rich knowledge reserve, and he was humbly proud of it.

'Before the cat makes a comeback, he must get the manuscript and run away... no, it's a strategic retreat. ' He gave himself an order in his heart in the tone of the commander's galactic battle plan, 'Time is very precious, so I...'

Just as he was about to turn his head, he felt his hand clenched instantly.

"……who are you?"

The person who finally woke up from the sofa questioned like this.

The author has something to say:

For the expression of the orange cat, please refer to: Did you put me first.jpg
