On May 3, 2021, China Province Z, City N, and District Y.

A black man about 1.75 meters tall walked slowly on the street at midnight. He was wearing a shabby and dirty shirt, wearing a somewhat thick down jacket on the outside, and his lower body was a pair of jeans with no original color, and the traces left by vomit were everywhere.

Since it happened to be three o'clock in the middle of the night, there were not many pedestrians on the wide streets, and even the passing vehicles were pitifully few, no one noticed the black man with a weird outfit. Even if he noticed it, he would only think that he was a homeless homeless man.

After walking along the street for a long time, the shops on both sides have closed. After all, most people have already played chess with Mr. Zhou at this time. Only a few convenience stores or restaurants that are open 24 hours a day are still open, but the store is basically deserted, with few customers.

“Welcome.”

As the door was pushed open, the doorbell in the old man's fried chicken shop keenly captured the change, and according to the set procedure, he issued a welcome speech without any emotion.

This is a very small fried chicken restaurant. Due to various reasons such as location and rent, I finally chose to open it in this location that is neither up nor down. There was only one clerk in the store sleeping on the counter. After hearing the doorbell, he opened his eyes tiredly.

"Hello, what do you need to order... Um! It smells so smelly..."

The night clerk was yawning, his tired face smiled habitually, and said the question that had been asked countless times.

But before she finished speaking, she smelled an indescribable stench in her nose. She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and looked at the person carefully.

The other party's clothes were not torn, but they were indeed dirty. The smell of sourness and mold seemed to condense into a substantial fist, and they punched the poor female clerk on the left and right, up and down.

The black man did not care about the other person's movements and the expression on his face. After looking around, he slowly spoke.

"Hello, is the current time on May 2, 2021, and is located in China Province Z, City N, and District Y?"

After the black man finished speaking, he closed his mouth and stared at the other person quietly without any unnecessary movement.

It’s like the “wood man” game I played when I was a child. After saying something, I instantly turned into a lifeless wood man.

This made the female clerk feel a little scared in her heart. She actually forgot about the other party's inquiry, and stood there blankly, feeling a little at a loss.

"Hello?"

Seeing that the female clerk did not respond, the black man asked again, but the difference was that this inquiry included some questioning tone, which was a significant change compared to the previous dullness.

"Uh, um, what did you say just now? I'm a little distracted. I'm sorry..."

The female clerk was busy apologizing for apologizing. Her good professional qualities and kind heart did not put her discriminatory tinted glasses, but said politely.

"My question is, is the current time on May 2, 2021, and is located in China Province Z, City N, and District Y?"

The black man repeated the question just now, but the pronunciation between the lines was much more accurate than the previous sentence. If he was just a beginner in Chinese at the beginning, then this sentence now gives people a feeling of being quite successful.

"Well, this is indeed the Z province, N city, and Y area of ​​China. But it is already May 3rd. After all, it is already three o'clock in the morning, hahaha..."

Although the female clerk was confused about the other party's mental state, it was not easy to show it clearly. She had to cooperate to answer the questions and use laughter to hide her embarrassment.

"Okay, thank you."

The black man nodded dullly and said thank you words, but there was still no expression on his face, and it was so stiff that it didn't look like a living person's face.

After thanking him, the man was stunned again, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly spoke after a few seconds.

"Analysis of human expressions, the smell on my body is unhappy, and the necessity of changing clothes is as high as 98%..."

The black man seemed to be talking to the clerk, or he was talking to himself. At first, the clerk could understand a little, but then the words were more like messy dreams, and he could not understand the meaning of it at all.

"Disclosing information will lead to the rise of Minkovsky's unit and will not help accomplish the target task, but according to the first of the three major laws of robots, I cannot witness the danger of human individuals and leave them alone."

"Summary: Disclosure of necessary information but not too much information can effectively protect the lives of individual humans, and the appreciation of Minkovsky's unit is within a controllable range."

“Retrieve necessary information that can be disclosed…”

"The search failed, the energy quantity is insufficient, the search conditions are not met, the backup energy cannot be turned on..."

"Sir? Are you okay? Do you need any help?"

The female clerk looked at the black man who was talking to herself with a nervous face. She had been listening to the other party seriously, but she was sad to find that she could understand every Chinese character the other party said, but after being connected into a sentence, she could not understand the meaning of it at all.

In addition to the previous sentence "need to change clothes".

"Help? Yes, I need your help."

The strange-behaved man looked around and finally set his sight on a socket beside the wall.

"Do you have items like wires? Or any linear conductor?"

"Uh, are you talking about charging your phone's data cable? There should be one. Do you want Apple or Android? Wait a moment, I'll look for..."

This time, the female clerk understood the other party's needs and quickly searched in the storage cabinet under the counter. After a while, she found several mobile phone charging cables and several plugs. She pulled them out of the cabinet like pulling radishes from the ground.

"Thanks."

The black man did not choose, but reached out and connected all the wires directly, skillfully scratched the plastic skin on the wires with his fingernails, revealing the copper wire core.

"this……"

The female clerk was about to make a sound to stop her, but the next scene made her shut her mouth in an instant and dared not make any sound.

The black man directly inserted the exposed copper wire into the position of the flesh of his right hand. The sharp copper core wire easily pierced the man's skin and penetrated deeply into his muscles.

But when I thought that the bloody scene did not happen, there was no pain on the man's face, as if it was not his hand that had just been stabbed by the copper wire, but someone else's palm.

The black man did not pause. After confirming that the wire had been firmly inserted into his palm, he turned around and came to the wall. There was a white socket near the ground. The man squatted down and acted to insert the plug in his hand into the hole!

"What are you going to do!"

Even though the female clerk was slow to react, she had now realized what the other party was going to do. In desperation, she quickly spoke out to stop it, but the black man was unmoved and still did his own way towards the jack.

"Click."

The sound of the plug rubbing the socket was as expected, but the expected short circuit trip did not happen. The black man seemed to have been imposed by Monkey Monkey, and he was half-squatted on the ground, motionless, as if he had stopped his breathing.

"Call the police! I want to call the police!"

Seeing that there was no electric shock on the other party, the female clerk breathed a sigh of relief, but she also had the intention to call the police.

The behavior of this black man is too strange and cannot be speculated with the mentality of ordinary people.

Just as the female clerk took out her cell phone and was about to call the police, the lights around began to flicker and dimly. Even the computer screen on the counter began to appear snowflake-like stripes, and the screen on the screen jumped and flickered, and began to become unstable.

“Is the voltage unstable?”

The female clerk subconsciously thought in her heart, but her hands were constantly moving, and she took out her cell phone and quickly called the police.

“Dou…Dou…”

The ringback sound before the call was quickly appeared in the phone, but before the second sound came from it, the light bulb on the counter suddenly lit up, followed by a series of "pop" sounds, all of which went out!

The small fried chicken shop was instantly wrapped in darkness, and even the street lights outside the shop were turned off, as if the power grid in this area was paralyzed, and all the equipment that needed electricity to consume went on strike collectively.

When darkness came, fear was like an invisible big hand, holding the female clerk's lungs tightly, excluding the remaining air inside little by little, and replaced it with a sense of oppression that makes people breathless.

"ah!"

A loud and loud scream pierced the night sky. No matter where it is, fear of the darkness is always a common problem for humans, and the female clerk is no exception.

What's more, there is a black man with weird behavior in the store.

The female clerk's scream did not last long, and reason soon occupied the high ground of consciousness. She began to try to find the black man in the dark, but the surroundings were pitch black, and her eyes had not adapted to it for a short time and could not see anything clearly.

Just as she felt extremely panic, a calm man's voice rang in the dark, and at the same time, there were eyes with red glowing.

"If you don't want to die, please set out to Siming Mountain immediately and bring enough rations and drinking water. Remember not to drink raw water. May the light of freedom protect you."

After saying this, the eyes floating in the air, with red light, disappeared into the darkness without any warning.

Since the doorbell is powered by a battery, the power outage did not affect its work. After detecting that the guest left, it dedicatedly sent its greetings.

"Welcome next time."
