I am weak and friendly

Chapter 171 This is the Glory of a Ride-Hailing Driver

Wen Rui?

The guy who was with Li Chongshan?

Tang Yiping remembered that he was a ride-hailing driver, and he even learned a "lacking-in-practice technique for cutting in and cutting off other drivers" from him. You know what, ever since Tang Yiping got this skill, he has been driving like a fish in water on the road.

Why is he here?
Why is the status abnormal again?
What the heck is that (abnormal space)?

Wait, the car accident just now, could it be related to him?

Tang Yiping was startled.

Tang Yiping remembered that he had his contact information, so he quickly took out his phone and made the call.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service."

How could he be out of service area? He's clearly nearby.

Tang Yiping took out his phone again and called Li Chongshan.

No one answered.

"What's going on with these two?" Tang Yiping wondered.

Outside the window, the sound of sirens blared, which made Tang Yiping feel very uneasy.

"Luo Han?" Tang Yiping called out in a low voice, "Can you help me find Li Chongshan and Wen Rui?"

With a "beep beep," Tang Yiping's phone rang, and Luo Han sent a long string of text messages.

The key points are just two sentences: "Li Chongshan is in a coma, and Wen Rui is missing after a car accident."

"Wen Rui is in the alley next to the car accident site. He's being moved now. Hurry up!" Tang Yiping said to Luo Han.

"Police are searching the scene and have not seen any suspicious persons; to be precise, there is no one in the alley."

How could that be?

In the "People Nearby" feature, Tang Yiping could see the red dot representing Wen Rui moving in the alley that Tang Yiping was very familiar with.

Wait, what is Wen Rui's state?
Abnormal space?

Tang Yiping felt a jolt of fear.

Tang Yiping had always found that alleyway strange.

Now, Tang Yiping felt that he might know the reason.

Or perhaps, it finally confirmed his long-held suspicion.

“The police are conducting a thorough search,” Rohan reported to him, “and so far nothing has been found.”

Tang Yiping looked at his "People Nearby" profile.

He realized that things were starting to go wrong.

His map showed that there was a house next to Wen Rui and his group, so "this road is blocked".

However, the red dot representing Wen Rui went straight inside.

Tang Yiping's "People Nearby" feature is a real-time map, and it's a 3D map.

Therefore, there is no possibility of map lag or underground access.

They just walked straight in.

Judging from the map, it looks like he's crawled into a wall.

how come?
No, perhaps he really did crawl into the wall.

As Tang Yiping watched Wen Rui's movements and the subtle tremors of his light spots, a completely different map appeared in his mind.

A map that Tang Yiping had never seen before but remembered.

"This is how this city should have been."

In the original plan, there should have been a relatively large square and city park between the alley and the Qihang Building.

Even their turning trajectories matched the park's internal layout map that Tang Yiping remembered.

Tang Yiping closed his eyes, but the map of "People Nearby" was still floating in front of him.

It only appeared in his mind, but another three-dimensional city was slowly emerging.

It's as if water droplets have soaked the map, revealing the back of the map.

It was as if a breeze had blown away the thick fog of the city, revealing the buildings indistinctly.

In the video "People Nearby", Wen Rui turns in the alley and continues forward, approaching Tang Yiping.

Soon, his position overlapped with Tang Yiping's.

Tang Yiping realized something: they had arrived at Qihang Building!
But that wasn't the Qihang Building, which is only over fifty stories high now.

Instead, it's another building, the Qihang Building, which was originally designed to be a hundred stories high. It's planned to be the tallest building in Hailing City.

Nearby, there should have been an economic and technological park centered around Qihang Building, the vibrant heart of Hailing City.

At that moment, Tang Yiping suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Why did he decide to come to Qihang Building a month ago to intern at this small, struggling company called Linghai Technology, which was on the verge of bankruptcy?

What guided him?
Wen Rui and his group's actions, however, made Tang Yiping even more uneasy.

Because they entered elevator number 9.

Tang Yiping could even picture the elevator doors opening in his mind.

It can't be the eighth floor, can it?

Tang Yiping's heart was pounding.

Tang Yiping looked up and gazed towards the door.

This room faces elevator number 9.

He had an absurd feeling that the elevator doors might open at any moment and Wen Rui would appear in front of him.

But it didn't.

In Tang Yiping's view, the doors of elevator number 9 were tightly closed and remained motionless.

In the "People Nearby" section, he had already left the elevator and continued forward.

Until they arrived in front of Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping's gaze was fixed on the space in front of him.

According to the "People Nearby" feature, Wen Rui should be right in front of him right now.

But... he can't see it.

That's another space.

An abnormal space.

He had no idea what Wen Rui was doing.

For a long time afterward, Wen Rui remained completely still.

Tang Yiping had a bad feeling.

He maneuvered his wheelchair somewhat impatiently, circling the "Wen Rui" sign on the floor of the office again and again.

Beside him, Stoka turned his head with some confusion.

"Stoka, do parallel universes exist in this world?" Tang Yiping asked Stoka.

"Huh?" Stoka nodded in confusion, then shook his head after thinking for a moment.

Does it exist or not?
Tang Yiping suddenly regretted not giving him the translator because he had been too noisy.

However, it seems that Stoka doesn't need to answer anymore.

Because Wen Rui was inside.

If that's another space, what's inside?
Why is it exactly the same as what Hailing City was supposed to become?
Tang Yiping had various guesses, but there were too many of them.

Hurry up and move, Wen Rui!
Get out of here quickly!

Come back quickly and tell me what you saw!
Tell me what kind of place you are!
Tang Yiping clenched his fists.

But Wen Rui didn't move, and the red dot representing him grew dimmer and dimmer.

Until it finally disappears.

A message pops up:
—The human being Wen Rui, whose target was marked by your "Stabber Technique," is dead.

—[Carrion Consumption] Success! You have obtained the legacy of the sapiens Wen Rui upon his death: [The Glory of a Ride-Hailing Driver]

—【The Glory of Ride-Hailing Drivers】: “Passenger, we’ve reached our destination, please get out.” The glory of ride-hailing drivers? Is this a joke? This kind of glory is as insignificant as a blade of grass, but even the weak, determined to gamble everything, put it on the scales. No matter how long the road, don’t let your glory burn out, because it is the only trace you leave in this world.

At that moment, Tang Yiping wanted to laugh.

What a hilarious legacy! Wen Rui.

I didn't realize you were such a proud ride-hailing driver.

I should get to know you better.

While there is still a chance.

Thank you, Wenrui.

I saw your final trajectory.
