02. Bad luck day 2
On dark asphalt roads, scattered vehicles wait at red lights.
Drops –
As soon as Mu Su stepped onto the zebra crossing, the human-shaped street lamp beside him made a soft sound and turned red. He had to retract the leg he had taken.
A passer-by behind him ignored it and ran straight through the red light, but he hadn't taken a few steps and coaxed a group of people with cameras and microphones.
"Congratulations! We are HYC TV, congratulations on becoming the 10,000th citizen to run a red light in District 14 this year, and you will receive a wonderful gift from us......"
"What the hell ......"
Until the red light turned green and Mu Su walked across the zebra crossing, the gang had not dispersed. And Mu Su, who had just walked through the intersection, suddenly paused and looked around.
He smelled the aroma of roasted coral.
【Melt-in-your-mouth grilled coral】
That's what it says on the roadside vendor car. Twos, twos, threes, and three passers-by gathered in front of the car.
The purchase went smoothly, and Mu Su was satisfied and walked under the scaffolding with the roasted coral wrapped in candy paper, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to bite off the candy paper and the coral.
No one noticed, a gentle breeze blew, and a finger-sized cylindrical stone on the scaffold was blown and rolled by the wind, gradually coming to the edge......
The wind came without warning, so that a woman in a pleated short skirt who came in front of Mu Su hurriedly reached out to press the hem of her skirt, but it was too late-
"Hey! Over here! A cry suddenly came from the sloping ground.
Mu Su subconsciously turned his head to see that in the park across the road, a teenager riding on a broomstick was greeting his companion.
At this moment, the crumbling stone on the edge of the scaffolding lost its balance and fell straight down, smashing on the roasted coral in Mu Su's hands. The strength is not strong, not enough to scare the coral wrapped in candy wrapper.
Mu Su, who was still unaware, turned his head and saw the oncoming woman's cheeks slightly red, and her slender hand pressed the hem of her skirt.
Mu Su, who was confused, passed by him, and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, opened his mouth to bite it.
Then he took a bite into the air - it can't be said that it was empty, at least there was a layer of candy wrapper.
Mu Su smacked his lips and looked down in confusion.
When the empty candy wrapper was displayed in front of him, Mu Su covered his mouth in shock.
"Entrance...... Instant ......? ”
But when did I eat ......?
Sadly, he stuffed the candy paper into his mouth, and Mu Su, who had an empty stomach, looked melancholy.
"Hey, I didn't expect to meet you here." A shout called Mu Su back, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in front of him smiled, stretched out his right hand and walked quickly like Mu Su.
Who are you?
I thought about it in my heart, but out of politeness, Mu Su still stretched out his right hand-
The middle-aged man staggered past Mu Su, and then he heard a cordial conversation behind him.
Mu Su retracted his palm and scratched his head. Suddenly remembering the matter, the vision HUD called up the address sent to him by the old couple, which should be in front.
Summoned three-dimensional navigation, a red line stretched from Mu Su's feet into the distance. Just walk along this one.
……
Fourteen Rings Interstellar Entertainment Channel Headquarters
Even if you add high-end words such as the 14th Ring, Interstellar, and Headquarters, it still can't hide the fact that this building on Wallentan Street is only 11 stories high.
The top of the building is dotted with a giant metal planet, like a circle of Saturn's rings around the projection of the "Fourteen Rings Interstellar Entertainment Channel", which can be regarded as saving a little face.
At the foot of the headquarters, next to the street. The two women were arguing about something.
"I'm only forty-five, why should I be in a hurry to find a boyfriend."
"Your mother, I gave birth to you when I was forty."
"Don't force me, if you force me again, I'll find a random passer-by to marry,......" the delicate woman in the black dress shouted impatiently, her green fingers pointing at the intersection at random.
A figure stepped out of the corner at this moment.
"Yo hehe, it's gone." Mu Su's pace froze, scratching his head and turning his head back.
……
lift
Successfully entered the headquarters building of the 14th Ring Interstellar Entertainment Channel, and Mu Su, who came to the elevator room through the hall, stared at the elevator that was going down with a pair of dead eyes.
He suddenly shuddered, and a thought quickly flashed through his mind.
This elevator can't do it!
Thinking of this, Mu Su immediately chose to climb the stairs.
And not long after Mu Su left......
Ding——
The elevator doors open. Two, two, three, three employees walked out laughing.
As for Mu Su, who changed to climb the stairs because of her soul, she was thinking about whether to push the old woman in front of her who was slowly on crutches and climbed one step a minute to take a breath and rest for a while, or to shout at the top of her voice that she was so scared that she rolled down the stairs.
Or secretly pull out her crutches?
Ten minutes later, Mu Su smoothly came to the fifth floor and forwarded the information entrusted to him by the old couple to the Fourteenth Ring Interstellar Entertainment Broadcast.
This information will be transmitted for half a month, and then reach the fleet far on the outer edge of the meteorite belt to their son.
Mu Su, who had completed the task, rubbed his uncomfortable stomach, although his skin has become more and more delicate since eating grass, it is just a little frequent in the toilet.
Stop people, ask for directions, all in one go. Mu Su found the toilet, but also saw a long queue in front of the toilet door.
……
"Then I thought to myself, should I queue up for the toilet so much. And so I came in after finishing the line. So – who came up with such a genius idea to arrange the interview next door to the toilet. ”
Mu Su, who thought he had entered the toilet, stood in the room and answered honestly.
"Ahem—"
An older man behind the long table coughed.
Several other examiners came back to their senses from looking at each other, and one of the women thought for a moment and said, "Since you're here, try it, what are your specialties?" ”
"Specialty? Oh, I have it, it's not just long and thick. Mu Su said, bowing his head and going to take off his pants.
"Wait! We uh...... This is a normal program. The woman hurriedly stopped Mu Su's next move. Finding that his colleague didn't answer, he looked a little puzzled, and tentatively confirmed: "Right?" ”
Mu Su was quickly diverted, and asked repeatedly: "What show, am I a writer?" Do you have any money, I tell you that I am a famous author, and by the way, I also have a poem number, which is a smile...... Smile and look at ...... Hope...... Forgot. In short, the last two sentences are unconscious and fearless of life and death, not ghosts, not gods and crazy demons, how about not being very talented. ”
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you copied it.
The examiners had a heartfelt opinion.
A middle-aged man examiner coughed lightly to correct the interview scene that had become chaotic: "We have recorded your information, your name is ......"
"Mu Su."
"Okay. If so, we'll contact you. With that, knuckles tapped on the long table: "Okay, next—"
……
In the afternoon, Mu Su returned to the hotel, and after enjoying a dinner prepared by the old couple in the evening, he returned to his room early and climbed into the quilt.
Another day of peace.
With a vision for the future, Mu Su Meimei closed her eyes.
However, suddenly, Mu Su opened his eyes and sat up in shock.
"Wait! Isn't there something wrong today? ”
