Chapter 286 The wind and rain are coming (2)

Lu Yuan...Lu Li...

These are two extremely common names.

These two people are naturally the most ordinary people. They are so ordinary that if they don’t contact each other frequently, they may forget the other person’s name.

That night, Yao Xiaoxin sat on the railing beside the road, looking at the hazy moonlight in the sky...

The appearance of the apostle undoubtedly gave this girl some adjustments in life. Those phenomena similar to superpowers made him very novel.

But there is one thing that Yao Xiaoxin still hasn't figured out.

Why did the Apostles attack the Ark Group?

Although the apostle has announced to everyone through the TV station that the existence of the Ark Group will disrupt the normal path of human progress, and he is helping humans with Fang Fang.

This is quite impressive, but... Yao Xiaoxin knows that the apostle is lying!

Whether the existence of the Ark will affect human progress is a question worth thinking about, but it is not worth changing, because change will inevitably cause turmoil. The world cannot bear such a great turmoil as the Ark Group.

If the apostle's starting point is really all human beings, then he would not be able to go to the other party's ark in such a brainless way. Unless the apostle is a two fool with a brainless mind. Judging from the other party's various actions, he is naturally not a two fool, and he can even be said to be "smart".

To sum up, it means that the [Apostle] uses the saying "protecting mankind" to hide his true purpose.

But...what is his real purpose?

Yao Xiaoxin lit a cigarette. She had been thinking about this question for a month, but she still had no clue. Communication, manufacturing, medical care, cultural monopoly, corporate competition, technological development, etc. Anyway, she tried to think about almost all routes, but she still couldn't grasp any signs.

"Oh..." Yao Xiaoxin sighed, and suddenly remembered the brother and sister.

She herself didn't know why she thought of those two people during this period of time, because the other party obviously had nothing to do with what she was thinking about at this time.

Yao Xiaoxin shook her head, then got up, and prepared to go to the supermarket opposite to buy a bottle.

......

"Lingling ~"

The wind chimes in the supermarket were squeezed open by the door, making a familiar sound.

"Sister Xiaoxin!"

As soon as he saw Yao Xiaoxin coming in, the cashier quickly tidied up his work uniform and greeted him with a smile.

“Oh~”

Yao Xiaoxin responded casually, then got into the supermarket shelves. When she walked out, she had a can of beer in her hand.

She randomly compared the cashier and signaled that she would settle the accounts in the district after drinking. Then she pulled the beer away and sat at the round table in the corner of the supermarket. She started drinking sips without a single sip.

Suddenly, Yao Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment.

Because he lowered his head, he saw an empty Coke bottle lying quietly in the trash can beside him. On the Coke bottle, there was a small receipt for collection.

Since there are very few people sitting in the small table in this supermarket, even if you sit here, you just make instant instant noodles.

There is no way to throw food with soup and water into this small trash can, which leads to nothing in this trash can except that bottle of Coke and the receipt.

Yao Xiaoxin frowned, she stretched out her hand, took out the receipt from the trash can and put it in front of her.

The receipt for collection says...

【Coca-Cola x1】

【Price: 4.00】

The following date is actually half a month ago.

Yao Xiaoxin looked at the receipt and fell into deep thought.

In fact... this situation is a very ordinary scene. After seeing it, people can detect nothing except that the trash can in this supermarket has not been thrown away for half a month.

But Yao Xiaoxin is different. She discovered the strangeness in this scene almost instantly.

That bottle of Coke...is empty.

In other words, one morning, a man came to the supermarket, sat by the window, and drank the bottle of Coke one by one.

Then the question is.

The date on the receipt is Monday, and the time is 8:30 in the morning. It happens that people who have to go to work have all got up, but people who don’t need to go to work are still lazy.

So what can this person sit in front of this window at this time? It didn't rain that day, so it was not shelter from the rain. Was it just watching the scenery? Such a leisurely person, why did he get up so early in the morning? Is it an old man taking a walk? It's not right. The old man taking a walk on this street can basically remember that the old man from other blocks came here by taxi and looked out the window at 8 o'clock in the morning and was a bit unreasonable.

So...is it waiting for someone?

But it wasn't like it. This person obviously was ready to finish drinking the bottle of Coke when he sat down. He first put the receipt aside and then drank it one by one. After he finished drinking, he threw the bottle into the trash can and then threw the receipt in. In this way, the receipt would be on the top of the bottle, rather than pressing underneath.

Thinking of this, Yao Xiaoxin smiled. She found that she was willing to think about random things again.

It's just a very ordinary bottle, what can I think about?

But... Yao Xiaoxin was just curious, so curious that she felt a little uncomfortable when drinking.

So he picked up the drink bottle.

"Hey!" She shouted at the cashier next to the bar, and then said a date: "Do you remember who was sitting here that morning?"

When the cashier heard this, he shook his head. Although there are no people in this supermarket, he must have been unable to remember it after so long.

Yao Xiaoxin raised her head and looked at the monitor in the corner of her head.

"Can you check the surveillance monitor?" she asked.

The cashier nodded. Although she didn't know what Yao Xiaoxin was going to do, she was still a woman who came here often and had such a strong corruption atmosphere. In the eyes of this cashier, she was a perfect partner to get along with.

So the cashier turned around and clicked on the computer screen a few times. Then the surveillance video of the supermarket was presented. The cashier entered the date again, and in this way, a slightly blurry picture appeared in front of Yao Xiaoxin.

In the picture, the time shows that it is past 8 o'clock in the morning and there are no customers in the store.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and then...a man walked in.

It was Lu Yuan.

After seeing this scene, the cashier seemed to remember something: "Oh, I remembered it. That day he came to the store and sat by the window."

Yao Xiaoxin frowned: "What did he do?"

The clerk recalled: "I did nothing, I just ordered a cup of Coke and then chatted."

"Oh? What are you talking about?" she asked again.

"emmm..." The clerk pondered for a while: "It seems nothing, even if the situation on this street was before, your bar, do you always drink alcohol, or something like that?"

Yao Xiaoxin was suddenly stunned.

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all!" the clerk responded.

Yao Xiaoxin looked at the surveillance screen and stared at Lu Yuan in the screen with half-open eyes.
