Volume 1 Chapter 56 Fierce
Du Ruo and Xu Jingmo were blindfolded and walked through the corridor, and finally taken into an unknown room.
As the door was closed and locked, Du Ruo took off her blindfold. It was still pitch black in front of her. She was about to reach out to feel the surrounding environment, but Xu Jingmo grabbed her hand and said, "I can see clearly, don't worry."
For a normal person, suddenly losing vision is an unsettling experience. Although Du Ruo did not feel panicked, she could not deny that having Xu Jingmo by her side made her feel relaxed and safe, as if she could rely on him, as if she did not have to rely on herself for everything.
She asked, "Where did they take us?"
Xu Jingmo tried to identify the layout of the room in the dark and introduced it, "It looks like an operating room, with an operating table in the middle and some instruments. I'll go find the light switch first, you stand here and don't move around, or I'll bump into you."
"Okay." Du Ruo nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and stood still.
Xu Jingmo looked at her in surprise and chuckled, "It's rare that you can cooperate so well."
Du Ruo shrugged nonchalantly, "There's nothing we can do. This is like living under someone else's roof."
"Tsk, don't embarrass me. What you are doing is at best 'deploying troops and commanding with confidence'." Xu Jingmo exposed her.
Du Ruo chuckled and asked, "Why? Do you have so little confidence in yourself? I can't be really scared and just want to rely on you?"
Xu Jingmo said: "It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, it's that I have too much confidence in you. When have you ever given in to me?"
Du Ruo remained silent. It didn't matter that he saw through her. Anyway, she had already guessed his little secret and her goal was achieved.
Xu Jingmo groped his way to the door, found the switch, and said, "This switch is inductive, and it seems to require a card. Let me look for it first."
Du Ruo: "Okay, just tell me where you need my help."
Xu Jingmo came over, held her hand, led her to the operating table, asked her to sit down and rest, and said, "Although I'm not as efficient as you, I'm not that useless either."
Du Ruo sat on the operating table and swung his calves leisurely, "Good luck to you."
Xu Jingmo smiled helplessly, then quickly started searching seriously.
He really didn't know before that Du Ruo actually had night blindness. There seemed to be a lot of dark scenes in the secret room. It must be uncomfortable not being able to see anything. It would be better to end this quickly.
In the dark room, the only sound was the faint sound of Xu Jingmo rummaging around, and neither of them spoke.
Du Ruo couldn't see anything clearly. Since she didn't need help, she was distracted by thinking, when did Xu Jingmo start to like her? Was it also during these few days? Then what was his plan? Did he want to fall in love with her or just maintain a friendship? If they fell in love, would they never be friends again?
One was concentrating on finding clues, while the other was immersed in his own thoughts. Suddenly, a whistle sounded from outside, coming closer and closer.
It is a very classic whistle, Twisted Nerve, the background music in the movie "Kill Bill".
The strange and eerie melody echoed in the empty corridor.
Xu Jingmo immediately stopped what he was doing, walked a few steps to Du Ruo, put his arm around her waist, lifted her from the operating table, and quickly walked to the closet in the corner to hide her.
Before Du Ruo could react, he heard the sound of the door outside opening. The whistling stopped abruptly, and both of them held their breath unconsciously.
In the small space, two bodies were pressed tightly together.
Du Ruo leaned her back against Xu Jingmo's chest, his right hand still tightly clasped around her waist, warm and powerful.
She didn't know that Xu Jingmo was so strong that he could easily pick her up with one hand.
Perhaps it was because their bodies were pressed tightly together, or perhaps it was Xu Jingmo's hot body temperature, like a burning flame, that made Du Ruo feel hot and uncomfortable for no reason. This wonderful feeling was indescribable, as if tens of millions of ants were crawling in her heart, making her mind a mess.
She wanted to put some distance between herself and him, but as soon as she moved, Xu Jingmo held her tightly with both hands and whispered in her ear in an almost inaudible voice, "Shh, don't move."
Xu Jingmo's right arm was around her waist, and his left arm was tightly around her shoulders. Du Ruo was locked tightly in his arms from behind, unable to move at all.
Du Ruo pursed her lips and sighed. Her ears must have turned red. She didn't know if Xu Jingmo noticed it.
Through the gap in the closet, you can vaguely see what's happening outside.
A man wearing a mask and a doctor's coat walked into the room, took out a magnetic card from his pocket and inserted it into the switch, and the lights in the room came on.
Xu Jingmo had just searched very carefully and did not mess up the room, and the man seemed unaware of it.
He walked straight to the table, picked up a document, and with a sinister and crazy smile on his face, he said to himself: "Ten new lambs have arrived..."
After a while, an NPC dressed as a mummy carried an unconscious person onto the operating table. It was not any of the ten of them.
The male doctor walked to the sink to wash his hands, then took a scalpel and "cut open" the patient lying on the operating table. The whole time he was facing away from the closet, Du Ruo and Xu Jingmo could only see him putting the fresh "kidney organs", "heart organs" etc. into the refrigerator one by one, which was then quickly transported away by the mummy.
He also reminded: "The higher-ups have increased the order volume again. This time, not a single one of the ten lambs can escape."
The mummy responded and left in a hurry.
Du Ruo was full of questions. What was this? Did he think he was a fool? Who had done this surgery?
Xu Jingmo understood that this was the core story line of the background, and the mission of these reporters was to successfully escape and bring out the "truth".
The man did not leave after the operation. He took off his blood-stained white coat and walked towards the closet.
Xu Jingmo was thinking quickly about how they could escape.
Unexpectedly, Du Ruo suddenly turned her head, and the tip of her nose brushed across his chin like a dragonfly skimming the water, and both of them were startled.
Du Ruo quickly came back to her senses, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Can I scare him?"
Xu Jingmo just felt like he was drowning in this ocean of ambiguity, unable to extricate himself.
Holding the soft girl in his arms, she almost kissed him again.
I was totally unable to recover from the shock, secretly regretting that I couldn't be a few centimeters shorter. Then what I would have touched wouldn't have been my jaw.
The man was already close to the closet. Du Ruo didn't wait for Xu Jingmo's answer, and ignored him. He seized the opportunity from the gap, and when the man was about to get close, he suddenly pushed open the door and shouted, "Ha!"
The man was frightened and staggered back a few steps. He pointed at Du Ruo and was about to shout for help when Du Ruo suddenly rushed forward and covered his mouth. He quickly grabbed his arm and threatened, "I'll beat you if you dare to shout!"
It was so ferocious that Xu Jingmo couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
