Chapter 491 The Man Who Walks the Night

"Ha..." Linyin suddenly thought that she was a witch, she could work and marry, but she had no offspring.

"In general, now I'm used to being a 'Nistos community resident'." The hotel owner looked back at the Nisto logo hanging on the wall, "It's more or less a community you can rely on."

Following his gaze, Linyin also saw a special Nisto community column on the smart screen.

She paddles over and sees that a vote is currently underway on whether to retrofit green kits for six local factories, further reducing acid rain and water pollution.

"Who pays?" Linyin was curious.

"The community will collect money, the benefits of the factory, people's donations, and...you see, the income of my hotel." The hotel owner spread his hands, "social public affairs are supported by everyone who is closely related, this is the meaning of unity, I can't just make money and do nothing. After the environment improves, more people will come to the hotel, so I can't hide the fund card, I have to pay my share."

"Are you for it or against it?" Linyin asked.

"I already voted for it," the hotel owner nodded. "After all, if the factory reduces sewage discharge, I don't need to install water purifiers for every faucet in the hotel to get rid of those rust and bugs, and spend a lot of money to replace the filter consumables regularly."

"Aside from these things, are there any other benefits for you?" Linyin felt that everyone was not interested in profit, "According to what you said, profit comes first."

"Of course," the owner of the hotel laughed, "Didn't you see that the equipment here is very new? Nistor Company has a basic support plan, and it is very kind to people like me who do business with integrity. The special fund subsidizes me with 200,000 yuan to renovate the hotel. It’s the first time I’ve encountered such a good thing. There’s no level-by-level reporting and level-by-level approval in their information center. But now, the most difficult thing to deal with is the monkey.”

"Why, you want the monkey to vote?" Linyin took the monkey off its head and grabbed its arms.

The monkey looked at Linyin carefully, its eyes drifted here and there, and it made a sound of asking for help. She put the monkey on the counter, took out broken biscuits from her pocket and fed it to it. The monkey seemed to be more energetic.

"First of all, the monkey is also an employee of the hotel, creating value for Xijin Town, and secondly, he knows what the residents are investing in." The hotel owner took the monkey over, "Monkey, do you think the factory should be replaced with an environmentally friendly chimney and waste water processor? ?”

"Hawk." The monkey climbed onto the smart screen and tapped the voting button, but it is not a member of the committee and does not have its own account.

"Look at how actively it participates. I believe the monkeys in Xijin Town also have voting rights...it is an intelligent life." The hotel owner put the monkey back on the ground, and the monkey picked up the broom and began to clean up the garbage, "I will collect 100 Sign, I will open a public vote to the community, can you help sign it?"

Linyin signed a pseudonym on the autograph book, while Miying remained motionless.

"Please, miss, please sign your name." The owner of the hotel put the autograph book in front of Miying, "There are only 20 signatures left to give the monkey a chance."

"I... I am luggage." Miying lowered her head.

Linyin smiled and walked forward, Miying followed, and Houzi pulled a cart over.

Linyin's box and Miying's battery were piled up on the scooter. This monkey was stronger than they imagined, pushing the scooter forward vigorously. It weighed about 30 kilograms and was half the height of a person.

"If monkeys can vote, synthetic humans can also vote." Miying looked at the monkey pushing the cart, "I think I'm smarter than monkeys."

"?" Monkey looked back at her.

Linyin found out that it was a macaque, much smarter than the wild macaque she remembered.

So she subconsciously stopped the monkey and opened the back of its ear. Sure enough, there was a QR code locked by a simple password.

After she deciphered it, she got the real information. It turned out that this is not an ordinary monkey, but a companion pet monkey genetically edited by Yulin Everything Company. There is no sales record, and it may have been stolen by the hotel owner from nowhere.

"Monkeys are closer to humans than synthetic humans." Linyin swiped open the door, "Miss Li can share a room with me."

Miying climbed onto the cart without saying a word, increasing the weight of the cart.

The monkey pushed it with all its strength, but it didn't push it. It scratched the hair on its head, reached out to ask Linyin for some biscuit crumbs, and then walked away along the floor.

"You really can't take a joke." Linyin smiled, and pushed the luggage on the cart into the room together with Miying.

Lin Yin saw the clean room, the white double bed, and all the bedding.

There are tatami mats and a self-service tea machine next to it. As the hotel owner said before, each faucet is equipped with a huge water purifier to filter the high-pollution tap water that is common in suburban areas.

"Let's stay here first." She took a glass of water and didn't care much about the purification effect, because Linyin has a modified stomach and can survive by drinking radiation wastewater.

She looked at the scenery outside, and the lush forest spread all the way to Mingge Mountain. Legend has it that Changying Shrine and Baiyou Shrine are located on the yin and yang sides of the mountain respectively, and they guard the huge monster together. The world beheaded.

Miying sits in the corner of the room collecting information, and from time to time packages and transmits some documents to Linyin, allowing her to analyze the information and investigate possible risks on the way the colonel came.

If nothing else happened, there were still thirty-eight hours before he went ashore. They had to ensure that the ship would not be sunk, and cover the transfer of the colonel before the assassin succeeded.

"It would be great if we could know which strangers come and go nearby." Miying said earnestly, "The locals don't know anything about the colonel. If anyone wants to take action against the colonel, it must be some outsiders."

"Just ask the innkeeper when you are free."

"His scope of activities is limited to his shop, and villains will definitely not come here to lodge." Miying judged, "We must actively move to find the hidden killer."

"Yes." Linyin closed her eyes, jumped on the bed and lay down, "Then... let's go to sleep."

"Sleep!" Miying came over and pushed Linyin, "We have to work."

"The bad guys come out in the middle of the night." Linyin crossed his legs and put his hands behind his head, "We will go around Xijincho at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and we are sure to find interesting things."

Lin Yin fell asleep, but before midnight, she was woken up by the shouts from the street outside the hotel after 10 o'clock in the evening.

"I told you—" a hoarse voice shouted from the street, "—doesn't exist! Doesn't exist!"

Linyin quickly got up and moved to the window of the hotel.

She saw a tattooed, shirtless gang member yelling in the street.

She frowned, Miying hadn't rested all this time, and she was on guard at this moment, they looked at each other, and both went out through the window.

The street is quiet and wide. It is a country dirt road, surrounded by scattered small businesses. There are not many people at night, and the shops close early. The newly built houses look quite delicate in the night, and the tiles are densely packed like fish scales.

Miying turned on the optical concealment position, and quietly walked around from the side and rear. The security personnel of Nisto Company did not patrol here, so that the middle-aged man could continue to yell, and Linyin squatted down to scan him carefully.

"Safe, there are no particularly dangerous prosthetic bodies." Linyin only scanned implants such as multi-tool hands, storage units, alcohol fuel stoves, and enhanced night vision.

"It's too late, sir." Miying appeared from the shadows and blocked his way.

"Late? It's not late, not at all." The man was drunk.

He has a fleshy face, a tall figure, wearing exaggerated red embroidered feathers, wooden clogs on his big feet, making a squeaking sound when he walks, his hair is combed into a big ginkgo, like a fat warrior, and green dragons with teeth and claws are tattooed on both arms , ugly enough to be shot to death on the spot by members of the Tianshu Manufacture.

"It's time to rest, uncle." Miying looked at him carefully, and took the guy to a bench by the street.

Linyin noticed that the bench was extraordinarily beautiful, slender, sturdy and delicate, made of durable and anti-rust metal, with a canopy on the top, which could withstand the wind and sun, and was incompatible with the old Xijin Town.

She later found out that it was a new style that members of the community chipped in to buy, with the name and amount of the donor engraved on the bottom.

Companies also decorate streets just to make them more attractive and thus more profitable, while community residents buy benches just so everyone can sit.

The three principles of fairness, unity, and progress are permeating every aspect of life. It was also unexpected for Rinne. She has been to many company cities, but she has never seen such a situation. The people there can only dream of life, even if they want to improve their homes, they have no chance to participate in decision-making, they are all waiting for the company to arrange their lives.

After helping him to the seat, the uncle became more awake.

"The old man yelled," he muttered, "that's really rude."

"What's your name?" Miying asked, "Are you a resident of Xijin Town?"

He thought for a long time before he thought of his own name.

"The name is Inubei," he said. "I live here."

Linyin secretly searched for this character, which was stored in the personnel file of Nisto Company.

The dog soldier guard is tall, burly and fierce, and he was originally an arrogant gang member.

During the expansion of Nisto Company to the countryside, Inubei thought about the stable life of his family and decided to cooperate actively. He helped provide some information, paid the fine and reduced the sentence.

"You said 'does not exist', 'does not exist' on the street just now! What exactly does not exist?" Miying asked.

"Trees!" Inubei sat up suddenly, and waved his hands violently towards the lush forest covering Mt. Mingka, "This place is full of trees! How is it possible? Before the old man went to prison, this place was bare, full of barren mountains and wild mountains! Dead trees everywhere! Weeds! Bushes...but now? All trees! Such big trees! They didn't exist! They didn't exist!"

The hotel owner heard Inubei making noise outside, and came out with a pistol and a monkey.

"He's talking nonsense again," said the hotel owner. "I'm very sorry, but if the lady doesn't like it, I'll have the community send someone to arrest him."

"No need." Miying waved his hand, "What about you? Mr. hotel owner, what do you think of these trees that suddenly appeared."

"They have always existed." The hotel owner looked at the forest covering Mingka Mountain and connecting Nishijin Town, "They have existed since ancient times, otherwise how can I explain it? Why are they so big and tall , so vigorous... Did they pop up overnight? Inubei, look carefully at those trees."

Inubei turned to the direction of the woods and thought hard for a while.

"Yes... yes." Inubei muttered, "If they didn't exist there since ancient times... how could they grow so lush? But the old man remembers that the air used to be very turbid, and acid storms came from time to time , are gone now."

"It's all the result of Nisto's environmental improvement project." Miying said.

"Yeah, enjoy life, Inubei," said the innkeeper. "You've got a serious job delivering a courier, your wife just had brain surgery, your daughter went to middle school, and your son is in a postage stamp facility. You don’t have to mess with gangsters anymore. If you are willing to believe that this forest exists naturally, life will be easier.”

"The old man will figure it out." Inubei shook his head, and he glanced at the hotel owner's monkey, "What about the monkey? What does the monkey think of the woods?"

The monkey nodded first, then shook his head, expressing a very complicated meaning.

"I'm going back first." The hotel owner took the monkey back to the hotel.

"Uncle Inubei." Miying asked, "Did you see any suspicious people when you wandered around the streets? Very suspicious guys who don't belong to Nishijin Town."

"Yes, the old man saw it, very suspicious people, women." Inubei groped his body, but it was no longer the era of no taboos, he was used to the days of protection, and he couldn't find his machete and submachine gun, "How many times A woman in the forest... hiding in the forest like a ninja."

"I have to go and check, because we think they may be dangerous to the town." Miying said sharply, although these ninjas are likely to come for the colonel, it is easier to accept it.

It is true that the ability to negotiate has increased significantly compared to before. Rinne observed in the dark. Sure enough, the growth potential of the third-generation synthetics is unlimited.

As for the female ninja... Rinne felt wary. It is difficult for her and Miying to deal with a large number of ninjas.

"Go to the forest." Hearing this, Inubei was completely sober, "Yes, the old man is going to take a look in the forest... This forest, this forest is unnatural. Everyone in Nishijincho wants to To beautify its existence... I don’t believe it, I really don’t believe it! This forest definitely popped out of the ground overnight! I will prove it!”
