Chapter 167 Take the video to the police station
About an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Tan Zhaozhao held the cat and went to open the door.
Outside the door, a slender girl with short hair that reaches her shoulders was looking at the heavy door that separated the corridor.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head to look over.
"Shanshan!" Tan Zhaozhao called out her name happily.
At the same time, the light ball that was lazily nestling under Xingxing's belly suddenly flew out and asked in surprise: "Why is the third girl here?!"
Xingxing tilted her little kitten head in confusion, and the tip of her ears moved slightly, looking curiously at the stranger who was getting closer and closer to her.
"What third girl?" It didn't quite understand.
After Tan Zhaozhao pulled Li Shan and closed the door and went into the house, Xingxing looked at Qiuqiu who was chasing after Li Shan, and didn't quite understand what Qiuqiu had just said.
Qiuqiu scanned Li Shan from head to toe, and after making sure that he had not recognized the wrong person, he flew back blankly and landed in front of Xingxing's claws, and asked with a lot of questions in his mind: "Female No. 3 is... the third female supporting role with a very important role in the plot. She will become a member of the protagonist's team, escort the protagonist's safety, and even sacrifice everything for him."
"...Why is she the best friend of cannon fodder Tan Zhaozhao? This doesn't make sense!"
Qiuqiu really wanted to clarify the relationship between the three people, so he kept his doubts in mind and read the original story over and over again while Xingxing waited quietly.
Finally, it looked at Li Shan, who was sitting next to Tan Zhaozhao and reaching out to pinch Xingxing's paws. It was silent for a long time before it said to Xingxing, "Baby, this human is actually a hidden villain!"
The little pads of Xingxing's paws were held in the human's hands and pinched again and again. It didn't struggle or resist, but just stretched out its paws and was pinched obediently.
Hearing Qiuqiu's identification of Li Shan's identity, he blinked and couldn't help but make a cat-like sound in his heart to express his doubts.
Qiuqiu took a deep breath and explained to the children, "She appeared here on the third day after Tan Zhaozhao's death. At that time, the protagonist happened to be returning home from shopping for zero yuan, and saw her smashing a robber to the ground. The protagonist was impressed by her fighting ability, so he invited her. Li Shan said nothing, and just naturally moved into the house that originally belonged to Tan Zhaozhao."
"Afterwards, she seemed to be very good to the protagonist, even more obedient to him than the male protagonist, but in fact, wherever she was, the protagonist would always be in danger several times. If it weren't for her or others risking their lives to save him, and if it weren't for the protagonist's own incredible luck, the protagonist might have died eight hundred times already."
"She was finally exposed in the later part of the story, but the protagonist team still didn't know about her relationship with Tan Zhaozhao. They just thought that she was jealous of the protagonist's good life, so her personality changed. So the protagonist team planned to expel her and let her leave this floor."
"Before she left, she broke one of the heroine's arms in the conflict that broke out. Although it was later reattached by the hero who had medical skills..."
"In the end, Li Shan died in a sudden cold wave during the extreme cold disaster. Until her death, no one knew that she had repeatedly plotted against and harmed the protagonist and the team just for Tan Zhaozhao."
While Xingxing was listening to the plot, Tan Zhaozhao was opening his tablet and handing it to Li Shan to watch the surveillance video.
"Look, from the first time she showed up until she left this morning, all of her actions were full of loopholes. I suspect she has something like the space golden finger mentioned in the novel, otherwise it would be hard to explain those things that appeared and disappeared out of thin air."
When Li Shan took the tablet, Tan Zhaozhao stuffed an orange slice into her mouth. She lowered her head to watch the video and accepted food from her friends from time to time. As time passed, her brows became more and more furrowed.
"She's very eccentric."
Li Shan whispered another point that deserves more attention: "Looking at her eagerness and determination when communicating with the agent, she seemed to have decided to rent the house next door a long time ago. She was determined to get the house next door. And assuming she really has the space, she goes out early and comes back late every day, most likely to stock up on things in large quantities, but... why is she so anxious? And the door in the corridor outside your house, I heard you say that the electricity is on, what is she preparing for? What is she guarding against?"
Tan Zhaozhao pinched a cherry tomato and fed it to Li Shan, then stuffed another into his own mouth. He then shook his head and shrugged, "I want to know, too, but she's very mysterious, and the way she looked at me last night... I still get a little creepy when I think about it. I always feel like she might have killed more than one person. She's very vicious anyway."
As she spoke, she bit into the cherry tomato, chewed and swallowed it, then said to her friend who was deep in thought beside her, "My plan is to take the surveillance camera in the corridor outside my house to call the police, but I'm afraid of alerting the enemy, or she may have other means. If the police rashly come to investigate, will she harm public officials? Even if she doesn't have the ability to attack, I'm afraid she will hide in the space herself. What if she hides and doesn't come out or runs to hide somewhere else?"
Although she said she wanted to put her brain on her bestie, Tan Zhaozhao actually did not stop thinking while waiting.
She is a professional video editor. The videos she edits the most are all kinds of celebrity couples that are customized by wealthy sponsors and women, such as the past life and present life, the rebirth of taking back everything I lost, the rich young master inheriting the useless brother, etc.
Tan Zhaozhao's imagination had long been developed by the various requests of the wealthy sponsors, so apart from her initial astonishment, the rest of the time, her head was actually filled with various speculations about her neighbors.
When I was planning to call the police, I had already imagined many possible reactions from the police and the neighbor girl.
At this point she said them all out, and then waited for her external brain to give more suggestions.
Li External Brain Shan: "She's very anxious. The more anxious she is, the more flaws she will reveal. We should not hesitate and forget about lunch. Let's take the video to the police station now. After all, it takes time and energy to convince the police that we are not playing a prank."
Tan Zhaozhao actually needed her to push him, so she nodded without hesitation and added as she stood up, "She is indeed very anxious, but what could have made her so anxious? I actually have some guesses and worries, but I also think it's ridiculous, just as ridiculous as a person with space suddenly appearing next to her."
Li Shan reached out and rubbed the head of the drowsy kitten beside her. She also stood up and said, "No matter what, we should go to the police station to report the case first. Even after they accept the case, we can't let our guard down. In fact... we should also make some preparations in advance."
Tan Zhaozhao paused as she walked out, looked back at the kitten curled up on the sofa, walked back a few steps, squatted in front of the sofa, reached out and touched the kitten's wet nose, and said softly: "Xingxing, dear, mommy can't take you out today, I will bring you some delicious canned food when I come back later, okay? Be good at home, mommy will be back soon."
"Meow~" Xingxing tilted her head and rubbed the slightly cool fingertips of her human mother.
Tan Zhaozhao's expression softened and he touched Xingxing's head again. Then he stood up, picked up his phone and tablet, and walked out with Li Shan.
Just before the door closed, Xingxing heard Li Shan's voice with some surprise: "...Why doesn't Xingxing meow yet?"
The door closed and Xingxing didn't know what her mother's answer was.
The room fell completely quiet. Xingxing yawned and stood up from the sofa.
Qiuqiu followed Xingxing, but this time he didn't press on the child's tiny body. Instead, he rolled slowly in front of its paws. While rolling, he discussed with Xingxing whether the two humans' call to the police would attract the attention of the police and what the protagonist next door's reaction would be.
"Baby, I think it's hard for the police to believe what they say~"
Qiuqiu is not very optimistic.
Xingxing stretched out his paw and pushed the round ball of light. He took uncoordinated cat steps to catch up and hold it down. Then he rested his chin on the ball of light and said slowly, "I will believe it."
“…Why?” Qiuqiu was a little confused. Why was he so sure?
The stars were quiet for a while, and a very long time ago, yet blurry, dark picture came to my mind.
At that time, it was still a little blind and mute boy who had just been thrown out of the laboratory. Under the guidance of the ball, it stumbled into the city and was then sent to the police station.
There, for the first time, it truly felt the warmth emanating from human beings.
They put a Band-Aid on the injured area. Qiuqiu said it was a children's Band-Aid with a cartoon bunny printed on it.
They fed it milk, although as a little zombie it couldn't really taste the milk.
They gave it a bath and blew its hair, dressed it in a large, loose adult police uniform, and stuffed lots of candy into the pockets of the uniform.
Qiuqiu said there are White Rabbit milk candies, soft candies with fillings, and many other kinds...
Then the policewoman who stuffed candy into it turned into a zombie right in front of it.
Xingxing’s memory is dark, but it remembers very clearly that the human sister had a very nice name, Li Ya.
There are also Lu Zhao, Zhang Fu, Zhuang Nong, Xiao Tian...
Xingxing listened to the voices echoing in his mind. After they finally stopped at a certain moment, he whispered to Qiuqiu, "Because they are the first line of defense in a disaster."
If the first line of defense collapses, life will become more difficult for human beings.
Just like Ye Huai, a soldier in the end times, he and many other soldiers insisted on supporting the last line of defense for mankind in the disaster.
The stars actually don’t understand why humans have so many “responsibilities” and “obligations”.
Even more important than life.
But humans are such a strange group of creatures in the hearts of stars. They know that there are many smart bad guys, but also many silly good guys.
As long as someone reports the case, as long as someone has seen the surveillance video of Tan Zhaozhao.
On the smooth road where the protagonist safely survives the natural disaster, many lines of defense will suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Hearing this, Qiuqiu was silent for a moment.
I don't understand why I changed it this time.
I always feel that after so many worlds, although Xingxing’s memory has been sealed time and time again, but... the children’s trust in humans seems to have increased a lot invisibly.
Is it possible that even without memory, the soul will be influenced imperceptibly?
Just at this moment, the wind suddenly blew outside the balcony where Tan Zhaozhao had sealed the windows.
Qiuqiu was stunned. Looking at the sky outside which suddenly turned gloomy in just a few minutes, he rolled himself back under Xingxing's belly.
"Baby, the disaster is about to begin."
