I’M Really Not The Demon God’S Lackey
Chapter 23: - Where is the Switch?
"... This rain storm has been upgraded to a red alert. The lower city of Nuojin has temporarily closed roads, traffic in the upper city is almost paralyzed, a large number of industries have been hit hard, and infrastructure has been badly damaged. ⁇ A "
“Currently, the sewer network has all been operating with the highest efficiency, and the water accumulation situation is slightly reduced. However, according to expert estimates, this was only a drop of water in the bucket. If heavy rains continue for another week, a third of Nuojin's territory may sink. "
"The Roll Resource Development Company proposes to use the Xiacheng District to build a more complete and effective sewer system. It will be a very big project. Therefore, he appealed to all walks of life to gain the support of the Central District."
"According to expert analysis, the main cause of this heavy rain is a mass of cold air from the northern highlands ..."
Lin Jie tried to use the mop to clean up the water stains on the floor while listening to the news broadcast on the TV of the next-door neighbor's store.
This heavy rain has been going on for almost a week.
As reported in the news, before yesterday, when the situation was worst, the buildup of water on the highway exceeded 30 centimeters.
Traffic is completely paralyzed, but not .. because you can also use water transportation like a kayak.
The water flooded the bookstore from the outside.
Lin Jie got up early in the morning and came down to see water running from under the door, with some leaves and the like, and almost thought he would move.
Fortunately, the situation is not too serious.
Once the sewer system is fully operational, the water level outside has not risen, but some floating plastic bags and the like close the door, so the water enters.
"Wow."
Lin Jie pushed the last water out of the door with a mop, straightened his body and heaved a sigh of relief: "Well, this is really tiring."
He put the mop aside and looked at the clean floor with great satisfaction.
"I don't know if the kitten has found his home. In such bad weather, it would be too dangerous to roam outside." Three of you are reading your book "
Lin Jie suddenly remembered the black cat that ran out the door the day Joseph came.
With a kind nature, he sighed with worry.
The sound of the TV next door suddenly stopped, followed by swearing, dismantling and dismantling.
Lin Jie could really imagine how the shopkeeper next door was now so furious.
"Sorry, do you need help?"
He walked to the wall closest to the next door, cleared his throat, and asked.
Next to this bookstore is a video store, which sells some CDs and digital products, but most of them are second-hand, and the quality is very worrying.
The popularity of this business is comparable to that of its broken bookstore, with an average of 02 customers per day.
"No, thank you."
The owner's voice came from the next door, followed by two more fierce pieces.
"explosion!"
Ackerman Colin stared angrily at the TV in front of him, cursing in a low voice, "Damn ... Fucking TV! Fucking rain! God, who can come to save me!"
He checked the TV and found that it was not a problem with the TV itself, so there should have been a problem with the cable or power supply.
Colin checked the channel and found no problems.
"Then it can only travel." He thought, "But now, my door is almost flooded, but the switch is outside ..."
The location of the video store is lower than that of the bookstore. As long as Colin wanted to get into the water, he frowned bitterly, wanting to give the wrench to the group of people who designed the sewer pipe.
"Wait, maybe the person next door can help."
Although Colin had just turned down the help of the bookstore owner next door because of some sort of embarrassing self-esteem.
But he knew that the man next to him was always a good parent.
Basically, if you can help, you will definitely help.
"Uh, cough your forehead, are you still there?"
Sure enough, the young man's response came from next door: "Yes, do you need help?"
Colin quietly said that it was true, and then looked at his own TV: "That's it, you should have heard it too. Something is wrong with my TV. I suspect the electric switch outside might be off. I can't leave now. Open, can you help me see it? "
By the way, the man next door was very helpful, so it was fine for him to help out a little.
What's more, her TV is airing news every day, which is free for her.
Of course Lin Jie didn't mind helping.
In fact, he was bored right now and was trying to find something to do.
"No problem, for the switch, I remember that ..."
Lin Jie will come out.
Suddenly, at the door
The dark and fuzzy figure was reflected, and in the glass frame on this door, it was like a blackened portrait.
That silent feeling suddenly appeared again.
"Ah, that's you, you're here."
Lin Jie was a little surprised. He did not expect that after a few days, the hands behind the scenes appeared again: "Does it have anything to do with me? Or urge me to borrow a book quickly."
The shadow on the door shook his head, and pointed his finger to the left.
Lin Jie turned his head and found the location of the video store there. Combined with the context, he guessed: "You want to say, did you help me?"
The shadow nodded.
Lin Jie smiled, how does she feel that this man behind the scenes is so cute.
Last time there was no entity, so I could only reveal it with a water stain, now it looks like a shadow.
It should have been the credit of the book he loaned - he said the last time the book he borrowed could have been profitable.
So now show up to help and thank you?
It was already a deal, but now it should be worth paying the price, how can he still thank you.
How does a child feel so kind and polite?
If you refuse, it looks like you will feel sad.
"Thank you, the location of the button is .. um .. I don't remember."
Lin Jie turned to the side and raised his voice: "Where is the button?"
Colin hurriedly said, "At the back door of my shop, on the right wall, see if it stumbles. If you stumble, just press."
Lin Jiedao: "No problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Colin saw his TV click again to light up, news had been broadcast, and ads were playing. She was so happy: "Okay! Thank you very much!"
"Together."
Lin Jie looked at the dark shadow, smiled and nodded, the latter gradually fading outside the glass window, as if gradually retreating into the rain curtain.
Colin leaned against the sofa in satisfaction, took the remote control and replaced some channels.
He looked at the changing picture on TV, he was shocked for a moment, then his face stiffened.
A little cold sweat came out from behind.
The owner of the bookstore next door started talking until the TV came back on.
His voice position never changed
