Chapter 233: Sound, Labyrinth, Black Pupa's Plan (asking for monthly ticket)
A pale light cast down from the ceiling, covering the children's playground like an insect-proof net on a dining table.
On the sand, Sun Changkong and Shang Xiaochi were swinging on a swing.
The swing swayed up and down, and Sun Changkong's mood also went up and down. To be honest! She was about to be tortured by this guy with a serious chuunibyou!
Shang Xiaochi never looked at her straight in the eye from beginning to end, and the first thing he said was "Don't come near me... I don't want to have any ties with others", "Only the weak need ties, the strong walk alone", "After experiencing the betrayal of friendship, my heart is already full of holes" and so on.
Although he felt resentful and helpless, as the leader of the salvation team and the captain appointed by the mentor, Sun Changkong believed that he had to be responsible for the newcomers.
As early as when they first entered the park, she took the initiative to offer to help the newcomers resolve their concerns and let the others have fun on their own.
She had said those big words, and the conversation had been going on for more than ten minutes, but Shang Xiaochi still seemed to be indifferent to her, which made Sun Changkong feel seriously frustrated.
Gradually, the inferiority complex of being a little country girl was aroused once again.
The two of them became depressed. Suddenly, no one spoke on the swing.
"You...you don't think I'm a country kid or a wild child, so you don't want to play with me, right?"
Sun Changkong hung his head and muttered softly.
"What?"
"As expected, you just look down on me... just say it directly."
"How could that be?" Shang Xiaochi said, "I don't look down on you."
"Wild children are inferior to humans, only... only fit to graze with cows in the mountains. You must think so in your heart."
Sun Changkong had tears in his eyes. He opened his mouth aggrievedly, his little tiger teeth trembling. "Since I was little, no one wanted to play with me. As soon as I entered the village, they threw stones at me."
"You're right, but I don't have many friends myself... Why are you crying? I... I shouldn't have ignored you. Please stop crying. I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong."
Shang Xiaochi was at a loss.
At the end of the conversation, their positions suddenly changed. Shang Xiaochi raised her hand and gently patted Sun Changkong on the back, and Sun Changkong hugged her and burst into tears.
It's quite absurd, like a psychologist giving counseling to a patient, but in the end the doctor takes off his glasses and bursts into tears, while the patient pats him on the back and says "It's okay, it'll all be fine."
At this time, Firio was sitting obediently behind Mario, watching him play the shooting game quietly.
Every time Mario shoots a zombie in the head, Firion's ears will slightly prick up;
When Mario said he was thirsty, Firio would trot to the water dispenser, wagging his tail, and get him water in a plastic cup. Then Mario would slow down his drinking speed, let Firio play the game console for a while, and he would lean on the slide and watch silently.
Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling were alone in the winding maze. They sat on the ground, writing and chatting under the dim light in the maze.
Kong Youling said: "The instructor said that I can't hear sounds because of the side effects of my psychic abilities."
"side effect?"
Kong Youling nodded, "He said that my ability not only helps me block out other people's voices, but also blocks out the voices from the outside world in order to protect me."
"If this is true, then no wonder hearing aids are useless to you," Ji Minghuan murmured, "So that means... you can hear sounds now?"
"The instructor helped me. I could hear it if I was close enough."
Kong Youling wrote quickly with a pencil and held up the notebook to show him, her white hair swaying gently.
"I don't believe it, unless you close your eyes immediately and don't peek at my lip reading," said Ji Minghuan.
The white-haired girl closed her eyes obediently.
"Stupid penguin."
Kong Youling opened her eyes, holding the small notebook and looking at him angrily, her cheeks puffed slightly.
"You really heard it clearly..." Ji Minghuan was stunned and slowly lowered his head. "I didn't expect that old bastard would have a conscience. Damn it."
"It's the first time I heard your voice without using my superpowers," Kong Youling said.
"How do you feel?"
“It sounds good.”
"That's not what I'm talking about." Ji Minghuan sighed, "I'm saying, do you suddenly feel that the world before was so boring, so quiet, so depressing, so suffocating... The world with sound and the world without sound are completely two different things."
Ji Minghuan once entered Mu Taki's barrier and experienced the feeling of being deprived of his five senses.
That's why he understood how depressing it was to live in such a dead and silent world. Even when you speak you can't hear yourself, and it makes you almost breathless.
But... perhaps just like the people in the sandbox world have never seen the morning and noon sun, a girl who has been deaf since childhood will naturally not feel that being in a world where no sound can be heard is actually an unbearable thing.
"I don't think so." Kong Youling suddenly said, "Because I can't hear any sound and can't speak, so when I touch you it's more real."
"for example?"
Kong Youling thought about it, then suddenly took Ji Minghuan's hand, slowly spread out his five fingers, put them on her fair face, and then closed her eyes.
The two of them stayed like this quietly for a while until Ji Minghuan came to his senses.
Finally, he turned his head and pinched the white-haired girl's slightly chubby cheek: "Okay, I get it, no need to give examples anymore."
Kong Youling then let go of his hand, opened her eyes, and looked at his slightly red face curiously.
"Ah, I've become a red elementary school student."
She raised the notebook and gave him a surprised look.
"Stupid penguin, you're screwed. You actually insulted the title of the world's number one blackened elementary school student."
Ji Minghuan ruffled her hair vigorously and tickled her as he spoke.
At this time, the instructor's voice came from the broadcasting equipment in the children's park, "Children, it's time to go back and rest. I will have someone take you to the park to play next time when I have time."
"Let's go."
Ji Minghuan stopped playing and walked out of the maze holding Kong Youling's hand. Shang Xiaochi, who was already depressed, turned his head to see this scene, and his depression deepened. He swung on the swing while lowering his head and muttering, "Traitors will be killed without mercy."
The elevator door opened, and the experimenters in white robes were waiting in the car.
They led the six children out of the children's playground in order, and Ji Minghuan was the first to leave. He waved to the five people behind him without looking back, and then followed the experimenter into the elevator.
The elevator car rose slowly with a humming sound. Following the group of people beside him, Ji Minghuan walked in the brightly lit corridor for a while and returned to the prison cell.
The lights above my head went out one by one, and with a rumbling sound, the metal door closed again.
He lay on the pillow, staring at the dark floor in a daze.
"Can Kong Youling hear the sound?" He thought, "Maybe it's not a bad thing to let her stay in the Salvation Society for a short period of time. It's not free here, but it's safe for her. The world outside is so chaotic, and there are monsters everywhere."
He tugged at the metal collar around his neck, his thoughts racing.
"But there is no guarantee when the Salvation Society will be in chaos. At present, it seems that the mentor may not be of the same mind as the other members of the Salvation Society. In other words... in the near future, there is a high probability that the Salvation Society will have an internal conflict."
"The rescue team will definitely become the focus of competition between the two sides. Kong Youling is the most promising psychic. No matter which faction, good or bad, they will try to get her and use her abilities to control the other side."
"So, it's better to take her away as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, he lay on the pillow, slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"Knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door in the darkness. A quick knock. An impatient knock.
The knocking on the door became more and more violent. Finally, Gu Wenyu opened his eyelids and looked at the time on the wall: it was 8 o'clock in the morning on August 2nd.
"Are you a pig? Even this can't wake you up." Su Zimai's voice came from outside.
"What?" Gu Wenyu asked drowsily.
"I'm leaving today, so I'm telling you first."
"Tell me what you are doing. Go and tell Big Brother and Dad." Gu Wenyu said, "Don't bother me. Let me sleep some more."
"If I die outside, will you continue to sleep..."
"At worst, I can take some diapers to visit your grave sometime later."
After Gu Wenyu finished speaking, Su Zimai outside the door was silent for a while: "Paper... diapers?" She paused, and a suspicious and surprised voice continued to come, "What do you mean?"
"It's over..."
Gu Wenyu suddenly woke up, got up from the bed, and bit his fingers, then he realized that he had said the wrong thing in his half-asleep state.
He was stunned for a moment, with cold sweats pouring down his back, thinking, oh no, am I going to expose my identity as Hei Pupa, who has made a great name for himself, just because of a diaper... How can this be possible? Where will I find fun in the future?
"Explain clearly," Su Zimai's cold voice came, "otherwise I won't leave today."
Gu Wenyu lowered his eyes, looked at the quilt covering his legs, and said slowly: "My eldest brother told me. He said that the diaper in the living room that day was yours, and he also said...you might have a child."
Su Zimai outside the door suddenly stopped talking. After a while, she raised her fist and knocked on the door weakly and frustratedly, then walked downstairs with gritted teeth.
After sending away this great god, Gu Wenyu lifted the quilt and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Lan Hu, please take care of yourself."
As he thought about this, he took out his cell phone from under the pillow and looked at the received message.
[Ghost Bell: How are you handling the matter of Makutaki? ]
[Black Pupa: I've been busy these days. I've just started to process it, but don't worry, Mr. Ghost Bell. I'll make Blue Arc and Makutaki love each other soon. ]
[Ghost Bell: Don't let me down, or I promise to make a hole in your stomach every time we meet.]
[Black Pupa: Yes, Sir.]
[Black Pupa: As expected of the tough guy Ghost Zhong, he really has a tough guy vibe... Mr. Ghost Zhong likes to brag in front of his family. He really has a tough guy demeanor, but your family doesn't seem to like this criminal very much.]
[Black Pupa: Uh... You have a good sense of humor to be able to praise yourself in front of Blue Arc, who was beaten up several times by Ghost Bell and almost lost his life. I am Blue Arc, so I have to give you a set of Lightning Cyclone Thunderbolt Slash.]
[Ghost Bell: How psychopathic are you to eavesdrop on our conversations? ]
[Black Pupa: I can’t help it. I am an indispensable member of your family.]
Gu Wenyu put down his phone and scratched his hair. "Speaking of which, my brother is so famous. If he wants to join an organization like Hongyi that is highly confidential, what should the United Nations do to keep it a secret? Could it be that they let him fake his death in the eyes of outsiders?"
He shook his head and cleared up his messy thoughts.
He got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up. Soon after, he changed into a black swallowtail windbreaker and put on a dark red mask. He raised his hand to his ear to turn on the voice changer, jumped through the floor-to-ceiling window, and fell rapidly in the warm summer breeze.
Black Pupa flew to Broly Bookstore on a leash and borrowed a copy of The Snows of Kilimanjaro from the owner. On the way, he used the leash to rescue a kitten trapped on a tree branch. Finally, he flew over most of the city and arrived at Lijing Central Hospital.
Lin Zhengquan will be discharged from the hospital today.
During this time, his younger brother Lin Yilong and several members of the Ghost Train Group stayed in the hospital. When Lin Zhengquan recovered, the Ghost Train Group would leave Lijing, and Su Zimai would follow them to join Lake Hunter.
Currently, the entire central hospital is staffed by spies from the Exorcist Association to ensure that there will not be a second attack.
However, now that the warning from the mentor has been given, the Savior Society should not take action against the Ghost Train Group in the short term.
In the hot summer, cicadas chirp incessantly and the city is as hot as a huge steamer.
The black pupa remained invisible, hanging upside down on the rooftop near the hospital, hiding in the shadow of the aerial work platform. While flipping through "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", he used his restraints to look at the hospital in the distance.
Next, he planned to talk to Lin Zhengquan about his good brother Lin Yitaki, and tell Lin Zhengquan that Lin Yitaki was actually "Makutaki" and had murderous intentions towards Blue Arc.
After that, he revealed Blue Arc's identity in front of the Ghost Train Group, letting them know that Blue Arc is actually Su Zimai's brother.
After Makutaki's plan to assassinate Blue Arc fails, Black Pupa can try to use this interpersonal relationship to persuade Makutaki. In this way, maybe he can fulfill Gui Zhong's request and achieve a win-win situation.
"Finally."
After waiting for a while, Hei Pu raised his eyes from the book and saw Su Zimai walking out of the taxi.
