Chapter 46: The secret of heaven cannot be revealed? Then act it out!
"Try to write it down." Tang Jingmo took out a pen and paper and handed it over.
"Good idea..." Song Wan took the paper and pen confidently. The meaning of her traveling through the book was about to be perfectly realized!
However--
As soon as the pen tip touched the paper, her wrist suddenly stiffened.
The black ink spread out, as if controlled by some invisible force. No matter how hard one tried, there were only messy black marks on the paper, just like a drunken spider.
"Hiss——" Song Wan gasped, veins on her forehead throbbing.
There are two things she hates most in her life: one is holding back her urine, and the other is holding back her words! Now this broken rule is actually making her experience the second kind of torture? !
She slammed the table hard, "bang!" The pen bounced up and she grabbed it again.
Her eyes rolled and she suddenly grinned - OK, you don't allow me to say it, right? I'll show it to everyone!
The next second, she pulled the chair away with a swish, and her whole body shook the table and chair like she was electrocuted.
"Clang! Clang!"
It's like performing an abstract dance.
Before anyone could react, she slid under the table at lightning speed, holding her head with her hands and curling up like a shrimp.
"Earthquake?!" Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo said in unison.
Song Wan poked half of her head out from under the table and nodded frantically, with a piece of paper stuck in her hair that had flown there at some point.
She crawled out from under the table and chair, shook her body violently, made a big circle with her hands, and then fell down holding her neck, acting as a corpse.
"The earthquake was strong and the casualties were serious!" Xiaobai understood Song Wan's meaning first.
Song Wan immediately got up and gave a thumbs up.
"Where is the epicenter?" Tang Jingmo's face was as gloomy as water. This was not a joke.
Even though Gu Zhongzhang was confused before, he now basically understood everything. He hurried forward and shook Song Wan, "Tell me quickly, I'm so anxious, where is the epicenter!"
Song Wan frowned and pointed hesitantly to the north.
"Map!" Xiaobai knew that Song Wan was an idiot when it came to directions and definitely couldn't tell the difference between east, west, south and north.
Gu Zhongzhang immediately found the map and spread it on the table, urging Song Wan to mark the location.
Song Wan's fingers were suspended above the map, but they seemed to be stuck by invisible glue and could not fall down no matter what.
She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, her pupils were fixed on a certain point, and her eyeballs were almost focused into cross-eyes.
"Don't worry," Xiaobai suddenly held her trembling wrist, and drew a big circle along her line of sight with his fingertips, "Is it here?"
Song Wan nodded "hmm hmm" like pounding garlic, and blinked as fast as Morse code.
As the encirclement gradually shrank, the only sound in the room was the rustling of the pen tip against the paper. When the four cities were finally circled, the air suddenly froze.
Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao.
"Ugh!" Song Wan suddenly rolled her eyes and fell backwards like a robot that had been unplugged.
"Swish!" Gu Zhongzhang flashed and put his arms around her falling waist.
It was unexpected that the usually smiling County Chief Gu was so agile.
He held Song Wan in his arms like she was holding a fragile item, and even breathed softly: "...What happened to her?"
Xiaobai knelt down and held Song Wan's palm. His special ability swept through Song Wan's body along her meridians: "She's fine. She may have fainted due to excessive excitement and nervousness. She will be fine after a good sleep."
She looked up at the red circled area on the map and chuckled, "But now... we may have a bigger headache than her who fainted."
Tang Jingmo looked up at the darkening sky outside the window: "Which is more terrible, natural disasters or man-made disasters..."
Dark clouds rolled in the distance, like a giant hand slowly tightening.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
The metal hammer of the old-fashioned telephone struck the bell bowl frantically. The piercing ringing sound exploded in the simple office, waking up everyone who was lost in thought.
"Hello." Tang Jingmo said in a low voice, his knuckles tapping the table unconsciously.
An official voice with electric noise came from the other end of the phone. Tang Jingmo's fingertips suddenly stopped and pressed on the table, leaving a deep dent on it.
"Yeah, okay."
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, "We will definitely... entertain our distinguished guests well."
He pronounced the word "distinguished guest" very heavily, as if he was spitting out something disgusting.
He hung up the phone and turned to look at Xiao Bai, "Someone is coming from Beijing!"
The dark color in his eyes was darker than the dark clouds outside the window. "Investigate the matter of blasting the mountain and diverting water."
Xiaobai licked his fangs, and the belligerent gene in his body was ready to move. "Come on, I'm afraid of you. My sword is rusty!"
Gu Zhongzhang noticed something unusual and asked, "Who should I send?"
"Yang Zhongxiu!" There was a sense of solemnity when Tang Jingmo uttered this name.
"Impossible! How could such a thing possibly alarm a leader of his level, unless there is another purpose..."
The three of them looked towards the medical point at the same time.
If it had not been confirmed that Gu Zhongzhang did not have any supernatural energy, Xiaobai would have suspected that this person was also a time traveler!
She did not reveal a single detail of what she saw when she went back in time. However, Gu Zhongzhang was able to guess the key points based on the clues. The Gu family's political sense was indeed well-deserved.
Tang Jingmo quietly took a half step forward, just in time to block Xiaobai's sight of Gu Zhongzhang. A faint smell of vinegar floated in the air.
"It seems that our military doctor Yang..." Xiao Bai's mouth curled up, and he deliberately moved closer to Tang Jingmo, jokingly saying, "She is not a lovesick girl who traveled thousands of miles to find her lover..."
Yang Xueying, who was singled out for attention at this moment, was maintaining a false coma and lying on a bed in the medical center receiving an infusion.
"Warning! Energy remaining 12%...11%..."
The mechanical voice in her head made her eyelashes tremble violently.
She screamed frantically in her mind: "System! Why is the energy being consumed so quickly?"
"Strong radiation source detected... Host advised to stay away immediately..."
"The source of the radiation? Is it Lin Xiaobai? Who is she?"
"Insufficient authority... Insufficient energy... Please replenish your luck immediately..."
Yang Xueying dug her nails into her palms. There had never been such a person in her past life - this village girl was like a virus that appeared out of nowhere, madly devouring her fortune!
She forced herself to calm down. The system was her biggest reliance. In her previous life, she and her father were able to rise step by step by relying on predicting the future.
"Replenish luck..." she murmured to herself, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"I have to contact my father..." She reached for the satellite phone under her pillow, but stopped when she touched the cold metal - it was too dangerous to talk now.
The autumn wind blew outside the window, bringing the chill of early winter. Yang Xueying fell into a deep sleep in the sound of the wind.
The weakness caused by insufficient system energy made her fail to notice the highest red warning signal issued by the system...
