Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Jiang Yu set foot on his hometown in Dongcheng District of City A again after eight years.
In his memory, Dongcheng District of City A is densely populated with many migrant workers.Many people left traces hastily in Dongcheng District, and then disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.
Jiang Yu still remembers her mother Jiang Yue saying, "This is a safe place, far away from your father."
He was turning 16 when he left.
The 24-year-old Jiang Yu stood slumped on the side of the street, looking around silently, and found that all the scenes he remembered had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he could no longer find a trace of familiarity.
The sky is dark.
Pedestrians in a hurry didn't know what the young man was doing standing there, cast doubtful gazes, and quietly looked at him from the corner of their eyes.
The long down jacket covers the knees, the thick wire cap presses down the soft dark coffee curly hair, thick boots, leather gloves, and woolen scarf.
Standing beside him was a small silver-gray suitcase, the outer casing had been worn out with many scratches and scratches, obviously it had been aged for some time.
Although he was already dressed thicker than most people, the young man's back was slightly bent, and he shivered in the cold wind as if he couldn't resist the cold air.
The thickened black mask covered most of his face, only revealing a pair of light brown glazed eyes, gloomy and dead.
City A is bitingly cold in winter.
The hot air exhaled by Jiang Yu's mouth instantly condensed into wisps of white mist.
He stopped a taxi at the airport and told the driver the name of the reserved five-star hotel in a muffled voice.
With hazy eyes, Jiang Yu calmly wiped off the condensation on the eyelashes, half-closed his eyes and leaned tiredly on the back of the car seat.
"Yo, this dress."
"Young man, come to work, or to travel?"
The driver brother was enthusiastic and hearty. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Our city A is a good place. Take time to go out and have fun."
Jiang Yu raised his eyelids, nodded slightly for a long while and gave a "hmm" as an answer.
He didn't talk about himself, and the driver didn't care. He watched the road and drove carefully, and stopped talking about what he had, and the car returned to silence.
The driver has been in this industry for many years and knows countless people.
Students and teachers, white-collar and blue-collar workers, engineer delivery staff, thousands of fields, no matter Alpha, Beta or Omega, you can see people thoroughly with just one glance.
The public knows that, with some exceptions, most Alphas are strong and strong, Betas are neutral and flexible, and Omegas are delicate and pure.
Beta is the most common, and Alpha or Omega are extremely rare, both of which have glands that emit pheromones.
In addition, Alpha has a special mysterious spiritual power that can drive exoskeleton mechs.
Alpha and Omega will trigger combination heat and gland marking due to the high matching rate of pheromones, which is more conducive to the birth of good offspring.
The medical field refers to it as a "genetically selected destiny partner"
Although the young guest was wrapped tightly, only the tips of his blushing ears were exposed, and his dim eyes made the pearls dusty.
The driver thought that the other person was tall and thin, and his appearance was obviously good. Among the strangers he saw and carried, no matter what gender they were, no one was more eye-catching than the one in front of him.
The speeding wheels made a "rusting" sound when they rolled over the snow
The hotel is here in no time.
Jiang Yu dragged his luggage into the lobby, and while he was waiting for the receptionist at the front desk to enter information and get a magnetic card, a shrewd and capable man Beta stepped out of the elevator in a formal suit with his hair combed back.
The male Beta didn't care about his image, and ran towards the front desk with messy steps, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Hello, why didn't I find the inhibitor I needed in Room 865?"
The other party was so anxious that he couldn't speak, he rushed to Jiang Yu's side to grab the countertop, and gestured frantically: "Quick! Use it!"
The two were too close, Jiang Yu frowned invisibly, and silently took a step back.
"what?"
The receptionist who was coming over with the magnetic card was obviously frightened by the accident, his eyes widened, and he stuttered and asked, "Aren't all the rooms equipped with general-purpose ordinary inhibitors?"
There was a lot of movement between the two.
The hall manager was also attracted by the sound, his smiling face changed instantly when he saw the male Beta, his cheeks turned pale.
He asked about the situation, and hurriedly shouted to the receptionist: "Go and get the Alpha-specific enhanced inhibitor immediately to this gentleman!"
The receptionist is probably a new employee who has not been on the job for a long time. Seeing that the leader is so scary, he immediately loses his mind, with a pale face, turns around and runs away holding Jiang Yu's room card.
What are these things?
Jiang Yu thought it was bad luck, half-closed his eyes, and let out a little breath.
The timid little girl with a round face filled the vacant seat, and while apologizing to Jiang Yu in a low voice, she refilled his card for him.
But on the other side, the male Beta was also waiting, with an angry face, and was led to the corner by the lobby manager.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Qiao, calm down, it is a major mistake in our work..."
"I know you have specifically asked me before, but..."
The lobby manager kept bowing and explaining to the male Beta called "Mr. Joe". The voices of the two were very low and intermittent.
"Punishment... over there at the headquarters..."
The two seemed to be concerned about the existence of Jiang Yu and others, and occasionally cast a few glances in the direction of the front desk.
"You also know that the identity of that person is special and needs to be kept secret... even our employees have blocked the news..."
"Don't worry, I'll bring it right away. Soon, I'll hurry up."
The lobby manager's explanation obviously did not satisfy Mr. Qiao, but because of more important matters, he forcibly turned off the ignition and looked eagerly in the direction where the receptionist disappeared, obviously fidgeting.
Not wanting to get involved in this dispute, Jiang Yu simply pretended not to hear anything, took the newly issued magnetic card, checked room number 972, and prepared to go upstairs.
When he passed by the lobby manager and Mr. Qiao, the lobby manager's intercom uttered a burst of crying, "Jing, manager, I can't find where the special inhibitor is, and I can't find it no matter how hard I look in the warehouse."
Jiang Yu's footsteps stopped.
The manager panicked instantly, grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted angrily, "Isn't it placed in the inhibitor area of the freezer? It was repeatedly emphasized several times during the induction training, how could you not find it?"
When Mr. Qiao heard that, even the anger disappeared from his face. He calmly sneered and smoothed the slightly wrinkled corners of his clothes.The manager hung his head in a cold sweat, bowed and bowed, and simply went to get it by himself.
Jiang Yu's pace became slower, but he still did not change his route.
The reason why the male Beta called Mr. Qiao came down in person was definitely for the purpose of confidentiality and safety, and he didn't want others to come to know the situation inside the house.
And the five or six minutes delayed by a serious mistake in the hotel's work was enough to cause Alpha, who needed a strengthened inhibitor, to collapse, lose control, and cause chaos.
The elevator door "ding" and reached the first floor.
Jiang Yu didn't go in, turned around and returned to Mr. Qiao, and silently handed out an injection. He thought to himself: "Anyway, I don't need it any more. I keep holding it and it takes up space."
Seeing that the other party took it with both hands subconsciously, he lowered his eyes and slowly raised his eyelids before pushing the luggage back upstairs.
When the elevator doors close.
From the gradually narrowing gap, Jiang Yu caught a glimpse of the other party pinching the injection and looking over and over again. He should be checking whether the packaging and contents of the injection have been changed, and then took out the mobile phone.
The Republic Safety Inspection Mark and the one-time inspection code are printed on the sealed injection package.
Acting cautiously, is it because you are afraid that there will be problems with the injection?
Jiang Yu looked away and watched the elevator floors go up one by one. When he reached the ninth floor, he went out and opened his room.
Hotel rooms are expensive, luxuriously decorated, and fully equipped with living facilities.
Jiang Yu stood in front of the wall-high mirror at the door, lowering his eyes one by one.The lower winter clothes are hung on the hangers.
The indoor heating is sufficient, the air is dry, and the humidifier sprays water mist.
He was wearing an off-white thickened cashmere sweater, with an itchy throat, and he coughed a few times with his fist pressed against his lips.
The pale face in the mirror was stained crimson by the sound of coughing, but against the extremely pale lips and dark eyes, it looked strange and abrupt.
Turning up the water temperature, Jiang Yu took a hot bath, and the scalding water dissipated the chill that invaded the joints and blood.
He walked out of the bathroom through mist and changed into loose cotton pajamas.
"Dingling-ring-call! Jingling-"
While brushing his hair, the mobile phone beside the bed rang. Jiang Yu took out the mobile phone, passed by the displayed drink counter, turned on the heating button of the small water dispenser at will, and glanced at the screen.
"Doctor Xie Zhao"
The water dispenser hummed softly.
Jiang Yu squatted on the ground, packing the suitcase, and connected the phone. His voice was slightly hoarse and lazy, "Hello?"
"Why don't you tell me you've arrived in City A?"
Xie Zhao's voice came, "Why, don't you consider me a friend?"
"If my mentor and Commander Zhang hadn't called specifically to tell me to take care of you, I wouldn't have known you were going back to city A to settle down."
After taking away the pajamas, apart from an iron lockbox that occupied most of the suitcase, there was only a bulging black plastic bag, ID card, bank card, simple change of clothes and a stack of sealed file bags.
"forget."
After Jiang Yu cleaned up, he held his mobile phone between his arms and said softly: "Didn't my medical information be transferred to your name? Even if you don't call to tell you, you will know sooner or later."
In the ear, Xie Zhao was furious, and repeatedly reprimanded Jiang Yu not only for not paying attention to him, but also for not worrying about his own body, breaking the jar and smashing it.
"What's the matter with bullying your friends, if you have the ability to show it off in front of my mentor and Commander Zhang!"
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head halfway and denied it, "...it's not as serious as being bad."
Xie Zhao hit the nail on the head and asked him, "Have you taken the medicine for tonight?"
"......have eaten."
Jiang Yu subconsciously glanced at the black plastic bag that had not been untied on the table, and lied, "I haven't forgotten."
All dogs know this is nonsense, Xie Zhao sneered, "I believe you!"
The water dispenser has hot water.
Jiang Yu didn't say a word, and took half a cup of hot water and mixed it with cold water while the other party was urging for his life.
He opened the black plastic bag, took out several small bottles, poured out one pill each, and picked out plate-shaped granules of different colors, gathered them all in the palm of his hand, and counted slowly, "...7. "
Deliberately making the sound of swallowing pills into the phone, Jiang Yu waited for a while, knowing that Xie Zhao was speechless by his anger, and snorted, "Is there anything else?"
If there is nothing else, he is going to hang up the phone and take a rest.
"You know, Xie Zhao."
Jiang Yu thought he would be hesitant or embarrassed to say these words, but when he really said them, he found that there was nothing but indifference and fatigue in his heart, "I'm not the same as before."
Those so-called lifelong dreams, lofty aspirations, and ambitions.
The passion and unyielding youth, the devotion and bravery that dared to fight against the sky, and the proud backbone that would rather die than break did exist, and it has flowed in his blood for seven full years.
But in the eighth year, the nightmare forced him to admit that he lost completely.
That Jiang Yu was already dead.
Xie Zhao's breathing became heavy for an instant, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words, "Who said that?"
"Do you have three heads and six arms, or do you breathe fire and become invisible?"
Xie Zhao tried to make Jiang Yu get emotional with a humorous tone, "Give me a show one day, and I'll see what's different."
"..."
Jiang Yu was really tired. Today's flight and reverse car exhausted all his strength. Even though he only dragged a small and light suitcase, his arms and shoulders were sore and painful, and his mind was like a knife. The pain was unbearable.
Jiang Yu didn't want to say it outright, and didn't want to hold on to this topic, so he said softly, "Then I'll hang up."
However, all kinds of emotions still overflowed from his words.
Xie Zhao guessed from Jiang Yu's breathing that he is a doctor, not to mention that Jiang Yu's medical information has been treated and studied by his mentor's team for a whole year.
He is in pain, Xie Zhao thought to himself.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu got up and stood in front of the huge French windows in the living room to look into the distance. The starlight in the sky and the bright neon lights of the street scene folded on the glass surface, and the traffic flowed continuously.
He turned off the headlights and closed all the curtains, like a tightly wrapped silkworm chrysalis shell, only the night light on the bedside table was still on, which was the only light point in the dead darkness.
On the table, the iron lockbox was opened at will.
Medals of various designs are stacked one on top of the other, densely packed all the space.
At the top, a golden emblem in the shape of a sun is placed in the center. It is the most brand new and bright, and it is spotlessly clean.
