I'm the king of weirdness

Chapter 3 Truman Xu's World
The sky is still a lingering gray fog.

The dilapidated streets are quiet and silent, and there is no light from the windows of the residential buildings, as if there is no one living in the empty city, only the street lamps on both sides of the road are emitting light.

The trash cans on the side of the road were full of rubbish that no one cleaned up, dirty water was constantly pouring up from the clogged drains, and groups of wild cats were the only creatures that were still active at night.

On this quiet street, a man with a tool bag came slowly from the shadows.

A few wild cats raised their heads when they heard the movement, and the eyes of the cats on both sides of the dark road reflected the night light, which was very strange.

Xu Ruyi just came out of home, and now she is going to work.

His job was assigned to him by the shelter, and he was responsible for the distribution of materials at the shelter site. In fact, it was almost equivalent to the work of managing the warehouse. Although the work was easy, it also meant that there was little money.

His life has always been poor, but in a society where living materials are distributed by shelters, Xu Ruyi, who has no bad habits, can't use much money.

The place where Xu Ruyi works is in the DC area of ​​the shelter, at the very edge of the shelter. If you climb the tower, you can still see the world outside the shelter.

Although, it was just a murky gray haze and nothing could be seen.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Xu Ruyi finally arrived at work.

He walked into the office building, clocked in as usual, changed into his work clothes and walked into the office.

There were several colleagues in the office who were chatting very loudly. Among them was a young boy who was about the same age as Xu Ruyi, who was being joked and laughed by this group of old men.

And when Xu Ruyi walked into the office, when his colleagues saw him, they suddenly said: "Xiao Xu is here, it's time to go to work."

Xu Ruyi has always been called "the office's living alarm clock" by his colleagues because he always comes to the office on time at six o'clock, and leaves work on time at three o'clock in the morning every day.

Never be late or leave early, and never stay a second longer.

This is very uncommon in material delivery points with extremely irregular working hours, but the boss can't do anything about him, because he can't find any faults with Xu Ruyi's little shoes, he just doesn't know how to flexibly follow the rules and regulations. It's just coming.

The colleagues dispersed and went back to their workstations to prepare for work.

And the boy who was surrounded by his colleagues before came over and greeted him warmly: "Brother Xu."

"Aye."

Xu Ruyi nodded, as a greeting.

This colleague who is about the same age as him is called "Ye Qiubai", he is Xu Ruyi's best friend, the two of them graduated from the same education institute before, and they were assigned here after graduation, so it is quite a fate.

Out of politeness, Xu Ruyi asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Ye Qiubai felt very embarrassed immediately, and his face turned red: "It's nothing, it's just... I'm here this year, aren't I?"

Seeing Ye Qiubai's awkward look, Xu Ruyi finally understood the reason.

Now, it's time to get a wife.

No wonder the colleagues would chat and laugh around Ye Qiubai.

Ye Qiubai touched him with his shoulder, winked and said with a playful smile: "I don't know what kind of woman will be assigned to me, I hope it is the one with big breasts and a good figure!"

He suddenly looked at Xu Ruyi and said excitedly: "Speaking of which, aren't you the same age as me? Has anyone from the Institute of Genetics contacted you?"

"Ah."

Xu Ruyi didn't hide anything, and said, "Someone came to me this afternoon, but the girl I got matched with is not from our shelter, so we can only meet in "Second Home" first."

Ye Qiubai was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously pressed his left ear.

He wears a bluetooth headset in his left ear.

Xu Ruyi noticed his movements, but didn't care.

A Ye always likes to listen to music with earphones on, even during working hours, which is very bad for the ears.

……

Inside the steeple building, the analyst is giving instructions to the operator surnamed Ye who is performing the task.

"Try to get the words out of his mouth, and see if you can dig out the appearance of the aberration that was in contact with '000', and the content of the conversation between '000' and the aberration."

Fang Yuan looked at the busy analyst, and then at the screen of the "Material Distribution Station" office on the monitor.

After a day's work, she gradually understood what the captain meant by playing house with "000".

In the entire No. 000 Shelter, except for the subject of supervision "[-]"... everyone is an operator of the Alien Bureau!
Pedestrians walking on the road, shopkeepers who run the canteen downstairs, drivers who drive railcars, all members of the material delivery station...Xu Ruyi's colleagues, classmates, friends, and everyone related to him are all members of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. people.

In the whole city, only he is "living", while the others are just "working".

His society, his interpersonal relationship, his life... are all "directed" by the Bureau of Strangeness.

This reminded Fang Yuan of a movie before the cataclysm called "The Truman Show".

Xu Ruyi is like the Truman in the movie. His whole life is under the surveillance of others, and his every move is watched all the time. The ups and downs of his life are all "scripts" written by others.

However, in this post-catastrophic world, the people in the whole city are trying their best to let him live a peaceful and normal life, and for a while, they don't know whether people sympathize with him or envy him.

"Why don't you just ask '000' and the area number where they met in "Second Home"?"

Fang Yuan asked in puzzlement.

But the old operators around just looked at her amusedly.

This made Fang Yuan very puzzled and a little angry in her heart.

Doesn't this bully newcomers?

In the end, a well-meaning senior told her: "You just came here, so it's normal if you don't know. But the game cabin of '000'... you will know it after you see it."

The senior turned on the monitor in Xu Ruyi's room and zoomed in on the game cabin.

Fang Yuan leaned over curiously, stared at the computer screen for a while, and then realized something was wrong: "Why doesn't his game cabin have a network interface?"

"That's just a box that can emit light." The senior explained, "That's not the game cabin of "Second Home" at all."

"But didn't he enter the game this afternoon..."

"He didn't go to "Second Home"."

Fang Yuan frowned and looked at her senior suspiciously, but the senior said slowly, "He went...to his own 'Skunk Realm' with a solemn expression."

This answer made Fang Yuan's eyes gradually widen.

She finally understood why the Alien Bureau paid so much attention to "000", and even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a city.

Paradoxical domain... a domain that only powerful aberrations can possess.
