Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Stripping the Bird's Feathers
Good times are always short.
The alloy door was opened, and her back disappeared into the corridor. The sliding door made a noise as it was pushed, and the lights went out, leaving the room in darkness.
The man sniffed lightly, greedily inhaling the remaining guide element in the air.
"Sentry, return to your isolation room." The guard's green eyes glowed fluorescently in the dark night, the lower half of his face was covered by a mask, he stood with a gun, and interrupted him without hesitation.
“Da, da, da…”
He stepped over the threshold and returned to the pitch-black corridor, but he could clearly see the fallen hair on the ground, the cylindrical guardrail, and the poor guy clinging to the railing and staring at him.
There were two footsteps, one in front and one behind, and the guards escorted him inside.
With a smile on his lips, he rubbed the plastic shell of the candy wrapper with his fingers, making a slight crackling sound, which was particularly abrupt in the extremely quiet isolation area.
Song Xiaoyu opened his mouth slightly and silently recited the woman's name, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind.
He was so arrogant that others couldn't ignore the man's deliberate show-off.
"You, stop."
He whistled in good spirits, looked the person who spoke up from top to bottom, judged that he was not a threat, ignored the provocative person, and walked forward.
"She won't like him. The stupid bird smells bad and is ugly."
A discordant sound rang out.
Is there a smell? He raised his hand and sniffed. There was no so-called bad smell, just the clown's harsh words. He was very confident in his appearance.
It turned out that she liked him, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to touch his spirit body. Song Xiaoyu was a little jealous of the eagle. He wished he could replace it. Under her control, his body still felt agitated.
As they walked forward, they heard more sour words, and some even verbally insulted them. After all, there was no one else here, so they didn't have to suppress their bad temper and aggressiveness. If they weren't in chains, it would probably be more than just a verbal attack.
But so what?
Song Xiaoyu didn't mind at all, and even said that he enjoyed their jealousy because they posed no threat, except for those two people. He certainly would not forget who she was originally looking for.
"Hi, little bee."
Song Xiaoyu imitated her accent and pronounced these three words, with a forced smile on his face. "She is my guide. You guys better stay away from her from now on." Song Xiaoyu had obviously regarded the two brothers as potential rivals in love and was very wary.
Lawrence was more impatient, and after being provoked by him, he couldn't suppress his anger and cursed: "You despicable liar, despicable mistress!"
Interestingly, the man stopped and did not move forward. The guard also stopped and watched the two people arguing with a calm expression.
"What's your position to say this?"
"She doesn't even remember your name, Bee."
He threw the honey candy upwards, then caught it back in his hand, deliberately teasing her, "She chose me."
His eyes flicked back and forth between the two cells, "And you are nothing."
"You!" Lawrence was hit on the heart, and was extremely angry. He gritted his teeth, rushed to the fence, and stretched out his hand to beat the man to the ground, and he had to sting his mouth with his tail stinger.
But this is not the place to fool around.
"stop!"
"Lorens, stop."
The guard's voice was stern, while his brother's voice was admonishing, "Don't you want to get out early?" Lawrence's chest heaved violently, his brows furrowed, his eyes staring at the hateful man, trying to calm himself down.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at his back, forcing him to lean forward and stagger two steps. It seemed that the chatting time was over. He stepped forward, the door was opened, and he entered the isolation room. The cold metal material pressed against his skin, and a collar and shackles were put on his body.
He brought his hands together and squeezed them together with his four fingers, allowing the wristband to pass through smoothly.
The guard whispered, "Relax your hands."
Then there was a click, a groan from the throat, the index finger twisted in pain, and the candy fell from the gap.
The guard took it from below, put it in his coat pocket, and zipped it up tightly. "No foreign items are allowed in the isolation room. They will be confiscated."
"Give it back to me."
He stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's arm, but was thrown to the ground. He stood up with his hands on the ground. He couldn't summon his spirit body to snatch it away.
This damn "dog", this thing is his. Song Xiaoyu felt a little regretful, he should eat it so that no one can take it away.
I heard a gloating laugh coming from the side, and the guard walked out nonchalantly and locked the door. The heavy lock hit the pillar with a clanging sound.
The man's back gradually went away. Song Xiaoyu was unwilling to give up, "Do you dare to challenge me in a duel?" The footsteps did not stop, and the figure disappeared in the aisle.
"You coward, you dead dog, you only dare to hide in the gutter and spy on others."
"Even if you snatched the gift she gave me, what can you do? Look at yourself and what you look like. She will never fall in love with you. You'll just have to stay in this stinking ditch for the rest of your life, you shameful thing."
If you have the guts, challenge the prison guards.
Seeing the guard walk to the end, hang his gun on the wall, unbutton his coat, revealing his muscular arms, and a silver necklace dangling from his neck, he knew something bad was about to happen.
Hearing the steady breathing next door, he sighed. He really admired him for being able to sleep. He knocked on the wall, "Wake up, don't sleep anymore."
There was a thumping sound above his head, and the red-haired man opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Watch the fun."
A sharp sound of metal scraping reached their ears, and the guard walked into the isolation room. The door was locked again, locking the two people inside.
"Tap-tap—" The handcuffs were undone and thrown to the ground. Song Xiaoyu cracked his knuckles and looked over without showing any weakness. "And the collar."
"No need for a spirit body."
The guard swung his fist after he finished speaking, hitting the man's chest hard. He took two steps back, coughed dully twice, and said with a smile, "That's it?"
He could make him even angrier, this shameless robber, "Don't touch my face. After all, I'm not like you, an unwanted person..."
This sentence obviously angered the opponent, and the next round of attack came fiercely. Song Xiaoyu jumped lightly to the back and dodged it. A tense atmosphere filled the room, and the battle gradually became fierce, with the sound of hand-to-hand combat continuing.
Song Xiaoyu was ultimately at a disadvantage. He excelled at tracking and surprise attacks, and the high altitudes were his primary battlefield, limited by the cramped conditions. The guard, on the other hand, was an experienced warrior, and close combat was his forte.
Song Xiaoyu inflicted multiple wounds on the other party, and his mask was torn, revealing burn scars. It turned out that his face was disfigured, no wonder he reacted so strongly.
But he was like an iron man who felt no pain, with thick skin, immense endurance, and a constant posture. If it weren't for the involuntary trembling of his legs, one would almost think he felt no pain at all.
He collapsed to the ground, in excruciating pain all over his body, his right arm unable to move. The guard grabbed him by the collar, dragged him along the floor, slammed his body against the wall, and then punched him.
"oh……"
Song Xiaoyu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He still smiled, staring at the burn scar on the other person's face, and said lightly: "You——"
"Bang," before he could finish his words, a punch came at him, his cheek was sunken, and his nose was twisted. He shouted angrily, "I said," his neck was strangled and he was ordered to shut up. He was hit hard backwards, dizzy, and then another punch came, leaving his eyes black and blue.
Cheers came from outside, "Smash his face!"
"Don't touch my face."
Stars flashed before his eyes, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing onto his pants in a parabolic pattern. His handsome face was swollen and bruised.
"Beat him!"
The sound of the violent hitting continued for a long time, until he collapsed to the ground with powerlessness, sliding down like a soft pancake.
Beads of sweat rolled down the guard's chin and dripped onto his abdomen. Gasping for breath, he loosened his hands, picked up the handcuffs from the ground, and clamped his hands.
As he put on the handcuffs, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Kid, when I came out to work, you didn't even know where you were."
He picked up the torn mask, which could not be restored. He touched the bumps on his cheeks, which were uneven, flushed and congested. The muscles, nerves and blood vessels under the skin of his neck were stuck together.
With such an ugly face, he didn't dare to expect the other party to look at him and show sympathy.
The guard walked out of the room and locked the door.
The third underground floor, which was dark from daylight, returned to silence.
It finally calmed down. The sentry's jealousy was really terrible.
The red-haired man lay on the bed, turned around helplessly, closed his eyes, and cursed in his heart: A bunch of idiots.
Chief's office.
Bright light shone into the corridor through the window. The door was half open. I knocked on the door, got a response, stuck my head out, and then walked in.
"Close the door." Shan Hao said.
She turned around and closed the door. It seemed that the boss wanted to talk to her about something. She glanced to the right, her eyebrows jumped, and her eyes widened. A huge amount of goods was piled next to the sofa, like a small mountain, almost as high as the ceiling.
Buy so many express deliveries?
Without thinking much, she walked to the table and sat down, clasping her hands together, waiting for her leader's instructions.
"You were down there for an hour. How was it?"
"Not bad," she thought for a moment, her chin resting on her hand. "I still can't use my mental powers, but I can touch their spirit bodies, and that seems to be helping."
"Sir, do you think this is okay?"
She asked cautiously, still worried that she would not be able to become a qualified guide, lose her value and be abandoned.
"Did you touch his spirit body?"
The man’s reply was beyond her expectation. What’s wrong? What are you talking about? Can’t I touch it?
“…”
"Forget it," he changed the subject, "Are you tired?"
What does this have to do with being tired? Petting small animals can even be considered a form of entertainment in modern times. She replied, "It's okay. I find it quite relaxing."
"Did you go to the twenty-seventh floor?"
The officer seemed to know her whereabouts very well. Xu Shanshan was a little surprised, "How did you know?" Then she admitted, "Yes, I wanted to go to Xia Guangli to practice with me, but he was not there."
His voice was filled with resignation. "It's hard not to know. You're a celebrity in the tower now." He adjusted the monitor's legs and pointed at the photo, demanding, "Who's wandering around the tower in broad daylight?"
[Does anyone know who this new guide is? ]
1L: She is so cute. Does anyone know who she is? Do you have any contact information? I will reward you handsomely.
2L: She is my wife. Stop looking. You are not allowed to look at my wife.
3L: The person above is so shameless. She is a new guide and obviously my wife, but she even smiled at me. Don’t be so self-indulgent.
4L: You are the one who is being sentimental. People smile at you just because they see you. Are you stupid?
The photo of her sitting with her back to the cafeteria eating was prominently posted there. She was clearly quiet outside, never shouting, so how could they still spot her so accurately?
"Don't be nervous, it's been locked up." Seeing her face turn worse, Shan Hao spoke to comfort her. The effect had been achieved. He just wanted to remind her that there was no need to scare her.
Posting photos of guides online isn't allowed, not even blurry backs. The original poster and everyone involved in the discussion were put in a black room. But the news still leaked out, especially since those who emerged from the negative third floor in the past few days moved very quickly.
Shan Hao pointed to a pile of things in the corner. "Finally they found their way to me," and then a bag of information was handed over. "These are gifts. I was asked to deliver them. I hope you can give them a chance to get to know them."
"But the choice is yours."
Xu Shanshan stood up and walked to the pile of gifts. The exquisite packaging boxes had labels on them, indicating which team sent them. Some were sent by individuals, such as the most conspicuous one placed in the front.
"Sir," she picked up the box hesitantly. It was very light. She looked carefully at the words on it to make sure she was not mistaken. "Shan Hao," she shook the box, and there was a soft rustling sound.
"Sir, this?"
The man nodded calmly. "I bought them," he explained. "You don't have much money left on your card, so you don't have any spare cash for clothes. You don't have to wear a uniform all the time, so I picked out two pieces for you."
Is that so? It sounds like it’s okay, but the question is, is it too thoughtful?
He cleared his throat, "You don't want to take it?"
"I, of course I want to." Xu Shanshan nodded and shook her head. After all, it was the leader's kindness, and it would be bad not to accept it. At worst, she could return it after getting her salary.
But forget about other people's things. She doesn't want to contact so many people and owe them favors.
"Sir, I want yours, but I don't want to take someone else's. Can you let them take it back?"
Red clouds climbed up the man's cheeks, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his mood became happy, and he was very satisfied with her answer. "Since you don't like it, I'll let them take it back."
