I never upgrade

Chapter 15 After washing up, we set off.

He racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't think of a single name or person who would feel uneasy, anxious, worried, or concerned because he couldn't contact him for several days.

Maybe her mother will message her, but it won't be because she cares about her; she'll need her help.

It has always been this way.

After replaying his birthday day in his mind countless times, Xu Lun suddenly had a realization:

It seems I have nothing to be attached to in this world.

It wasn't just because his mother forgot his birthday that day, or because she asked for money for his younger brother's training fees, or because he was scolded by the station manager, or because he was complained about by customers... but all these things combined gave him a strange feeling of emptiness.

It's meaningless to live like this.

He didn't know why he lived. Maybe it was for his mother, his brother, his family, or his relatives... but it certainly wasn't for himself.

If I had to put it into words, the last thing I remembered was being cornered in the room by a dark figure. In that moment, knowing I might die, I suddenly had a conviction to live for myself.

That belief lasted only a short time, but it made him feel more energetic and meaningful than anything else he had ever experienced.

Perhaps it's time to change my life.

Xu Lun even felt that if he really couldn't leave and had to stay in this place forever, he might as well apply to join the Administration Bureau directly.

At least here, he doesn't have to worry about others. He even gets meals delivered to him, stays in upscale rooms, sleeps in a comfortable bed, and sees scenery he's never seen before.

At least everything that happened here was much more interesting than my life over the past twenty years.

He thought for a long time, then finally got out of bed, turned off all the lights in the room, went back to bed, and lay down, gazing at the boundless sea of ​​stars outside the window. His mind was filled with unrealistic fantasies, and he gradually fell asleep...

...

the next day.

Xu Lun slept until he woke up naturally.

This would have been unthinkable in the past.

It wasn't that Xu Lun didn't want to sleep in, but rather that he needed to help out at the breakfast shop to earn more money.

I usually finish get off work around noon.

But he didn't have time to rest; he turned on his phone in advance and prepared to go online.

As soon as he finishes work here, he'll start taking orders and delivering food.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly; this is his life.

But now, he lies on a soft, comfortable bed, with a small meteorite slowly drifting past outside the window.

Further away, there is a ring of meteorites encircling a yellowish-brown planet, slowly rotating.

Xu Lun didn't know how long she had slept. There was an electronic clock on the bedside table, which showed the time as "14:47pm".

So he decided to get up.

After turning on the lights in the room, he first went into the bathroom to wash his face, then stood by the window, staring at the meteorites floating outside for a while.

Not long after, with a "ding!" sound, the light strip flashed and the door opened.

A staff member dressed as a maid pushed a food cart in.

Xu Lun smiled and nodded at the other person, saying nothing, but he understood in his heart:

There were indeed surveillance cameras in the room.

Otherwise, the timing of this food delivery is just too coincidental.

The other party didn't say much, just briefly introduced the types of breakfast and reminded Xu Lun that there were clean new clothes on the lower level of the dining car.

After he finishes his meal, an administrator will come to find him.

This is the notification Xu Lun received.

After explaining these things, the maid smiled and left the room.

After everyone left, Xu Lun didn't rush to eat, but instead glanced at the shower room.

His plan was to take a shower after dinner and then change into his clean clothes.

Although she knew there were surveillance cameras in the room, she remembered that when she was unconscious, her clothes had been stripped off long ago, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing those unfamiliar pants now.

In this place, I have long since lost all privacy.

However, when you go into the bathroom later, you should be careful to bring all your clothes in and change inside.

Walking around naked in a room is still somewhat indecent.

Having made his plans, Xu Lun began to eat.

It must be said that the food at this management bureau is quite good.

With the comfortable environment here, Xu Lun felt more and more that he should find a way to stay.

After finishing his meal, he took out clean clothes from the lower level of the dining cart and brought them into the bathroom.

The shower room in room 708 is separate from the toilet.

My first impression upon entering was that it was very clean.

The shower room is spotless, surrounded by a white, one-piece vacuum-formed design, rather than the traditional tiled walls.

This design style is full of modern industrial aesthetics and retro-futuristic technological feel.

Even the showerhead was so clean it looked like it had just been polished, and under the warm light it shone with a metallic sheen.

The moment it's turned on, a gentle, warm jet of water sprays down like a light drizzle, washing over your body with a sensation that's incredibly enjoyable.

It has a relaxing feeling that cleanses the soul.

Xu Lun had never taken such a comfortable hot bath in his life.

Compared to this place, my rented room is simply indescribable...

...

Inside the Administration Bureau.

In a small conference room.

Two adult men, one in a gray suit and the other in a dark blue suit, stared idly at a laptop in front of them.

The image displayed on the computer screen is the live surveillance footage from room 708.

However, the camera only showed the main area of ​​the room and not the shower room.

One of the men in a suit glanced at his watch and couldn't help but complain:

"Is this guy never going to finish showering? How long has it been going on?"

Another man in a suit smiled and joked:

"It might be because it's your first time using it, so it's not a big deal to wash it a little longer."

To be fair, the management bureau has done a pretty good job in terms of being humane.

Upon hearing this, the other person sighed helplessly, leaned back, put their hands behind their head, and teased:

"Then let's wait! Getting cleaned up before setting off isn't a bad idea!"

...

After 1 hours.

Xu Lun changed into clean clothes, came out of the bathroom, dried his hair, and sat on the edge of the bed.

A moment later, the doorbell rang. This time, the people from the Administration Bureau did not come in directly, but stood outside waiting.

"Hello, may I come in?"

This time, it was a man who spoke.

Xu Lun thought the name sounded vaguely familiar; it seemed to be one of the people who had come in yesterday, the one who took Dora Nicole away.
