Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

He was ultimately a realistic person, especially when the cold wind blew, making him even more clear-headed.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little hungry again...

Bang! Bang bang bang!

As he rode, Lin Weidong suddenly slammed on the brakes, the bicycle wheels swung violently twice before he managed to stop them. He braced himself with his feet on the ground and his gaze swept across the street to his left.

That's gunfire, isn't it? Are they catching enemy agents?

Lin Weidong listened intently, reached out and turned off the headlights, waited in place for more than ten seconds, and kept scanning the surroundings.

He saw several other passersby like himself who, after a brief pause, continued walking.

It seems like everyone's gotten used to it?

Lin Weidong suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose, as if a red ball was about to grow out...

He lifted his leg and pushed off with his foot, slowly moving along, but his eyes were always on his surroundings, especially the alley area on the left side of the road.

Lin Weidong was still a little confused. He clearly heard gunshots, but why didn't he hear any sounds of arrests? Not even a single footstep? Footsteps are very loud in the snow! Could Peace Elite be lying to him?

He pushed off with each step and slid a short distance. After traveling a few more sections without any further movement, and seeing that other pedestrians ahead were walking normally, he felt somewhat relieved.

Unexpectedly, as they turned into a fork in the road, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar in the alley to their right.

The sounds were rapid and frequent, as if someone was running.

Lin Weidong cursed inwardly, "How come the person got ahead of me?" He kicked his feet repeatedly to try and avoid them.

bang——

hiss!

in the dark.

Lin Weidong belatedly grabbed the handbrake to control the bicycle, but a figure had already been knocked nearly two meters away.

It was a man. He struggled to get up, but instead of getting up, he started hissing and growling.

At the same time, the footsteps they had just heard grew closer, and two more figures carrying flashlights ran out of the alleyway and restrained the man despite his cries of pain.

In the flickering light of the flashlight, Lin Weidong saw that the man was dressed in disheveled clothes and was not wearing shoes, which explained why he couldn't hear footsteps.

At this moment, most passersby who saw someone being arrested stopped and looked over, and some of the bolder ones went closer.

"Hello comrade, I am Chen Liang from the 22nd Police Station of the Third Branch of the Inner Mongolia Police Bureau. Thank you for your help, comrade, you have done a great job!" After tying up the man, one of the police officers came over to congratulate him.

However, his gaze carried a hint of resentment...

Just when he was about to catch him, someone suddenly appeared on a bicycle and knocked him down. He didn't know what to say.

However, current regulations stipulate that the core of public assistance to the police in arresting spies is "actual effect." Regardless of whether the public acted intentionally or not, as long as their actions directly led to the capture of the spies, it is considered as assistance.

Rewards should be given primarily to the public, highlighting their role, and should also include publicity and education to strengthen the public's awareness of preventing espionage.

In return, their contributions will be significantly diminished.

This was policy guidance, a clear priority that the bureau had repeatedly emphasized. Although reluctant, Chen Liang still took out his workbook to register the information, since several people were watching.

As Lin Weidong explained the information in detail, Chen Liang's mind suddenly brightened.

Did he hear that right? A martyr's child! A member of the Communist Youth League! A vocational school graduate! What kind of status is that?

This was the identity he, a former police officer, had always dreamed of!

Chen Liang's attitude became more positive, and a smile appeared on his face. Wasn't this a great opportunity for publicity?

What job isn't it? He may not have received much credit for the arrests, but he was diligently carrying out the publicity work!

Chen Liang picked up his pen and looked at a few passersby whispering to each other.

"Comrades, did anyone see what just happened? Can you tell me about it?"

"Hey! Comrade, you've come to the right person! To tell you the truth, I was walking right behind this guy, and wow! Did you see that? This guy was pedaling his bike so hard it was smoking! Just one kick! Just one thud! Hey! He took him down!"

"Amazing! You really make us men of Beijing proud!"

"Oh dear, I was just a step too slow, otherwise I could have easily taken him down with a back throw!"

……

Chen Liang opened up a floodgate of conversation among the passersby, and the group managed to create a lively scene reminiscent of the market, with everyone chiming in.

"Slow down, slow down, comrades, one at a time! Thank you for your cooperation, comrades, you're all doing a great job!"

Chen Liang called out to Lin Weidong, "Comrade, could you please hold the handlebars a little so I can hold my notebook, and also shine the flashlight for me?"

Lin Weidong readily accepted good advice.

He held the handlebars and shone a flashlight on Chen Liang, clearly seeing that the other party had written down key words such as "children of martyrs, members of the Communist Youth League, and students of vocational schools," "taken the initiative," and "assisted in the capture."

"Comrade Lin Weidong, we will report your situation. We will need you to wait at home tomorrow."

After finishing his notes, Chen Liang closed the notebook and solemnly extended his hand to Lin Weidong.

"Don't worry, officer. I won't go out tomorrow and will wait for you." Lin Weidong shook his hand and gave him a firm shake. This guy is a real talent!

"Okay! Then we'll head back to the station first." After receiving a clear response, Chen Liang shook the door vigorously and turned to emphasize to the others.

"Comrades! Please remember your mission to guard against enemy agents. Report any discoveries immediately. If the information is verified, the station will issue a reward in kind. We will make sure your efforts are not in vain! Everyone should take Comrade Lin Weidong as an example!"

"Of course, we can't make arrests on our own. Remember, enemy agents are very dangerous, so everyone's safety is the priority! Keep that in mind. Also, please rest assured, the enemy agents we need to capture tonight are in position, so everyone go home early."

The onlookers responded enthusiastically, clapping and watching the two policemen escort the man away, and then praising Lin Weidong with undiminished enthusiasm.

Some of them actually saw Lin Weidong ride his bicycle and knock down enemy agents. He was truly brave! No wonder he's the child of a martyr!

Lin Weidong smiled and offered cigarettes to everyone. Now that things had come to this, he no longer bothered with formalities.

After all, the words and actions of the masses are the stepping stones for his advancement!

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic crowd, Lin Weidong quickly turned into the alley of Nanluoguxiang and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house.

You will encounter a fixed NPC – Yan Bugui, the gatekeeper of the courtyard house.

Yan Bugui reached up to adjust his glasses and saw the bicycle piled high with packages; the whole world seemed to brighten up.

"Hey Lin! Where did you come from carrying so much stuff? Come on, let me help you with the cart. This threshold is hard to cross."

Lin Weidong did not refuse, letting Yan Bugui struggle to lift the bicycle by the back.

He had expected to run into Yan Bugui, and he was even prepared to be taken advantage of.

It was just a cigarette and a cup of hot tea, nothing to him. It just so happened that his things needed to be made public, so he couldn't keep eating them secretly every day.

Yan Bugui was excited throughout the journey, repeatedly praising and inquiring about what good things Lin Weidong was carrying, which attracted many people in the courtyard to lift the curtain and look outside.
