Chapter 825 Because I Don’t Want to Die

The person controlled by Brian slowly turned the chair, and he faced Brian.

A man who looked to be in his fifties had a look of horror and confusion on his face. When he saw Brian, especially the gun in Brian's hand, he became even more frightened.

"I will let go of your mouth, remember, don't make any sound if you don't want to die."

Brian slowly let go of his hand, and then the man in front of him immediately covered his mouth firmly with his own hand.

Brian was very satisfied, he smiled and said: "Very good, now tell me, where are the others?"

Shaking his head, the man let go of his hand and whispered: "There is no one else here but myself. What do you want to do? Do you want money? I have my wallet with me. Please don't hurt me. There is no need to do anything to me." Really? Please, I don’t want to die, no matter what you want to do.”

Brian whispered: "No one else? Why only yourself?"

"Because, because... I'm the only one in the world. Well, there's nothing wrong with being on night shift. I can do it alone..."

"What is your job description?"

"Running operations, inspections, switching work, uh, generally just looking at the screen here, nothing really happens, what do you want to do? Can I take out my wallet for you? Or you can take it yourself, please don't hurt me I beg you!"

Brian whispered: "Where are your colleagues?"

"I'm going home. Of course I have to go home after get off work. I'll take over. The person on the day shift must be leaving."

Brian frowned and said, "Is just one person enough?"

"This is originally a small substation, and the night shift requires two people. However, the night shift salary is too high, and no one is willing to work the night shift, so a long time ago, one person worked the night shift."

Brian breathed a sigh of relief, then he raised his voice and said, "Come in."

Paul pushed the door open, and then he whispered: "I checked, there is no one else here."

Brian said to the person in front of him: "Very good, you are holding on to your life, now tell me where to control the camera outside, who can see it?"

"The camera..., there is a computer in the next room that can be seen, but... the camera has been broken for a long time, and there is no point in installing a camera. Even homeless people will not come here."

Brian spread his hands and asked the person sitting on the chair to stand up. Then after he sat down, he shook the pistol and said, "What's your name?"

"Michelle."

"Michelle, give me your phone."

After asking for Michelle's cell phone, Brian said calmly: "How old are you this year?"

"53 years old."

"At 53 years old, you have a family and children, right?"

"Yes, I have three children, the youngest is only nine years old. He...what do you want to do?"

Brian turned the phone towards Michelle and said seriously: "This is your little son, right?"

"Yes."

"You use family photos as a screen display. It seems that you love your family very much."

"Yes, I love my wife and children. I love my family and my life. I'm going to take a vacation soon. I'm going to travel abroad. I... of course love my life. Sir, no matter what you want to do, I will do it." It’s up to you, as long as you tell me.”

Brian smiled and said: "Very good, I like people who know their facts, so let's get straight to the point. Since you work here, you must know how to cause a power outage, right?"

"Uh, sure, sure."

Michelle was so cooperative and Brian was pleased with his attitude.

"How long can we stop?"

"This, uh, depends on how long you need it."

Brian was not only satisfied, but now he was starting to be surprised, so he looked past Michelle and looked at Paul, who was standing behind Michelle.

Paul shrugged, then made a gesture.

Paul didn't even need to say anything. Brian, who had a tacit understanding with him, knew that what Paul meant was that you were threatening people with a gun, so of course you could do whatever you wanted.

Brian looked at Michelle and said, "Can you control the power grid?"

"No, but I can control this substation and can cause power outage in the area covered by the substation I control. If you need it, uh, I may be able to expand the area and scale of the power outage."

"Can ten minutes be okay?"

"Ten minutes? No problem! Of course no problem!"

Brian was surprised again and said: "Isn't it possible to supply power in a roundabout way? Even if there is a power outage here, other substations can also supply power."

Michelle said with a flattering smile: "That's true, but it's still okay."

"How to do it specifically."

"If I force the gate to open manually, then the area responsible for power supply of this substation will be out of power. At this time, other substations will immediately distribute current to supply power to my area. However, I can distribute the bus current to the lines of another substation. , can cause line overload in a very short time, then another substation will automatically shut down due to overload protection, and then this will cause a chain reaction. If it is an accident, the power outage will not last for a long time, at most a few seconds. The power can be restored, but if I intentionally shut it down, it could take a long time."

Brian said: "In this case, can the power be cut off for half an hour?"

"no problem."

"How long can it last?"

Michelle thought for a while and said: "It depends on when the emergency personnel arrive here. I think an hour should be about the same. But if the person in charge cannot be found or the person in charge drinks too much, then tomorrow It is possible that the power supply will be restored. As long as I am here to control it, the power outage can continue, and the scale of the power outage will become larger and larger."

Brian thought for a while and said, "Why are you so cooperative?"

"Because I don't want to die..."

Michelle's answer was reasonable, but absolutely fine.

Brian nodded and said: "If you do what I say and cause an abnormal power outage, and it is entirely your responsibility, aren't you worried about the consequences? For example, being fired, so I think you will call the police. "

Michelle looked insulted and shouted: "Am I crazy? Sir, am I crazy? Why should I call the police? I'm not stupid. You know my name and got my mobile phone." , I would definitely be worried about retaliation after calling the police, so why did I call the police? As for me causing a blackout, so what, who can avoid making mistakes?"

"You don't care even if you get fired?"

Michel laughed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Sir, I am a member of the French Power Grid Union and I am fired? Impossible."

Seeing Brian's expression as expected, Michelle tried her best to look more relaxed and smiled: "So it depends on what you need me to do. I'm just not feeling well and I made some trouble. That doesn't matter. What's the matter? The company can't fire me because of this. If I are asked to retire early or be transferred from my job, haha, I can't help but wish for it."
