Chapter 16 Library Support? Or Surveillance?
"It's you..." Hao Xiao looked at the person in front of him. That was the man who gave him this commission that day.
"Mr. Jack, if you don't mind, could you give me Mr. Haoxiao?"
"I mind, I mind very much, we are going to Starlight..."
"It's okay, Jack. This guy is the client. You go ahead. Ahem, I can have a chat with this guy."
Haoxiao stood up again, his body looking very weak.
"Okay, hey, that nerd, if you dare to touch a hair of my brother, I will burn your entire library! Let's go!"
Jack dropped these harsh words and left. The library man supported Hao Xiao.
"I still don't know what your name is..."
"Mr. Haoxiao, you don't need to deliberately write down my appearance. We are just gears in fate."
"It's quite profound..."
The two walked into the library hall together. The walls here are pitch black, but the interior is emitting a golden light. The surroundings are even weirder. Books and papers are floating in the air, but they seem to have a sense of rhythm and buffering floating up and down.
With.
The stairs in the hall are golden and white, and in the center of the hall is a staircase made of piles of books. The floor is paved in another simple style, black and white, as if it were a chess board, all under control.
"Ahem, why did you bring me here?" Hao Xiao said weakly.
"In order to bring you a helper, by the way, you can't continue our talks in this state..."
The attendant took out a potion from the bookshelf and handed it to Hao Xiao. It was a needleless syringe.
"No way, I'm almost out of strength, you actually want me to inject this?"
"The choice is yours, Mr. Haoxiao."
Haoxiao picked up the syringe and injected it into his arm. After a while, the pain on his body gradually disappeared, and his wound slowly healed. Now he finally walked without help.
"This thing is much better than Jack's first aid spray."
Haoxiao carefully stretched his body and found that there was no discomfort. He was a little surprised by this.
"What do you mean you want to bring me a new helper?" Hao Xiao sat on the sofa in the hall. The attendant brought coffee from the side and said respectfully.
"The library is dedicated to information collection and knowledge storage. Most of the scientific and technological knowledge power today is contributed by us. You should know this."
"Seriously, I'm in a hurry." Hao Xiao didn't want to listen to his nonsense.
"We have developed bionic people. These people are made of intelligent biological materials. Their physiological functions are similar to humans, but their processing logic is the same as that of machines and they need to learn, so..."
"You're going to put a robot in my place? Of course that's no problem. Can he fight and kill?"
"Only at a normal level, because her main purpose is to record information in case Mr. Haoxiao doesn't want to return the information after you get it."
The attendant was polite, but he was a sensible person and knew what he meant.
Haoxiao smiled helplessly, and then said his signature sentence: "Okay, but I want more money. After all, one more person means more share of the pie."
"make a deal."
Another huge sum of money. Seeing that his account was about to exceed hundreds of millions, Hao Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Let me introduce you, this is our curator, Angela."
A slim and stylish woman with light blue hair, golden eyes, and wearing a blue dress walked out of the hall.
Her expression was a little serious, as the attendant said, she had no emotions, because her eyes were a little hollow, but she was the director here? A robot? I can't believe that the library would make such a decision.
"Hello, Mr. Haoxiao, I am Angela, the contractor who is here to urge you to complete this contract."
Angela stretched out her hand, and her expression looked a little warm at this time. Hao Xiao had no choice but to stand up and shake hands with this "machine".
"I am Haoxiao, the ninth-level loser. I am just a good-for-nothing bastard. Don't worry, I believe in chivalry - everything has a beginning and an end."
...
"Why hasn't this kid come back yet..."
Jack was a little anxious. His leg injury had just been bandaged, and now he was hurriedly walking around in circles again. Until he saw Hao Xiao returning to the hotel, Jack rushed out of the lobby impatiently and fiercely
He hugged Hao Xiao tightly.
"Damn it, my good brother, I thought you would never come back."
"Hey, who is your brother?" Hao Xiao pushed Jack away, and Jack smiled awkwardly. Then, he noticed the woman next to Hao Xiao.
"Isn't that right? Brother, you just went out for a trip and brought back a girl? Oh, I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to belittle you, I was just talking about this bastard boy."
"Hurry up, it's not convenient to talk here. Come to my bedroom."
The three of them arrived at the door of Hao Xiao's bedroom together, and then Hao Xiao stopped at the door of the bedroom.
"Miss Angela, boys' bedroom, women only."
"Angela doesn't know what you mean, I'm just here to supervise you to complete the contract."
Angela's attitude seemed a bit tough, and Hao Xiao shook his head.
"I knew it, okay, let's come in together."
Jack and Hao Xiao sat on the sofa, but Angela stood next to Hao Xiao.
"Do you understand now?" Hao Xiao looked at Jack.
"Understand what?" Jack scratched his head.
"She is a bionic person! She specializes in monitoring the progress of this contract. To put it bluntly, she is just a piece of scrap metal. There is no fun to be had now. She originally wanted to go to the destination slowly and leisurely..."
"Wait a minute, Hao Xiao, wait a minute, I don't care about this, I just want to know, is your health okay?"
"Fortunately, the people in the library treated my wounds, but I'm still a little tired."
"The aura on your body is different, Hao Xiao, are you sure there is nothing wrong with you?"
Haoxiao looked at the mark on his left hand, and then nodded.
"Okay, brother, don't resist, I'll be with you along the way."
Jack smiled and left Haoxiao's room. When Haoxiao realized what he was doing, he cursed loudly.
"Damn it, are you going to resist? I'll carry you!"
Haoxiao turned to look at Angela, shook his head, and then scolded.
"Can't you get a room by yourself? I don't want 1987 to happen again in my small room."
"1987? Indeed, humans like you need some rights to free space. Humans also need sleep to replenish their energy. It's really troublesome."
Angela left Haoxiao's room.
"Now, finally no one can bother me. Let me be quiet for a while..."
