The Sabbath Chapter 159: Visitor
"You haven't thought about it, what will happen to you after the operation?" Ronggui didn't know what to say, so he asked another question.
"I thought about it. They said they would install temporary mechanical internal organs for me. With them, I should be able to last until I go home." Kerry said.
"But you also said that those internal organs are only for temporary use. If you can't find a suitable mechanical internal organ within the time limit, what will you do?" Doctor Duo, Ronggui knows much more about metal internal organs than ordinary people. He knows that the so-called temporary mechanical organs are actually disposable organs. On the repaired organs: remove the organs that need to be operated on, install a temporary up-and-up maintenance function, and then reinstall the original organs after the operation is completed. This is a method often used in modern medicine, but this This kind of temporary mechanical organ must not be used for a long time, and accidents will happen sooner or later!
He thought that Kerry didn't know, so he quickly spread all the knowledge in his mind about temporary organs to him.
Who knows——
After listening to his words, Kerry nodded: "I know what you said."
"Before the operation, I asked Jiji for an excuse."
"Knowing that you still accept it? You, you are too—" I didn't know what to say, Ronggui stood up anxiously.
However,
Kerry slowly lowered his eyelashes, and after a long silence, the corners of his mouth slightly curved again, revealing a strange smile:
"Stupid, isn't it? But at that time, I really couldn't think of any other way."
"Do you know what despair is? Desperation is when you know that something is not feasible, but you still do it."
"At that time, I was very desperate. I wanted to go home and see my mother for the last time. Just go back."
After saying this, Kerry closed his eyes, and he stopped talking.
Ronggui opened his mouth, and finally, he stopped talking, and just gently pulled up the quilt for Kerry.
He really doesn't understand the despair that Kerry said, but Kerry must be very, very special at that time to make people make such crazy decisions
Is there no other way?
Placing a basin of beans next to Kerry's head, Ronggui quietly stood by his side.
Two days and one night have passed since the day of the auction, and the message sent to all elevator card holders on the "official website" is still "Stay in your room and don't go out for the time being".
There is no way to go out, and there is no news from the outside world at all. In this way, no one knows what is going on outside, whether Jiji has passed the customs safely, and whether Grandpa Alan has returned home safely.
And there is——
Never received a call.
The power system here seems to be specially designed. Only the computer connected to the official website can be powered on, and all other electrical appliances are no longer functional. With the function of timing energy storage, in a short period of time, the energy for their mechanical bodies is enough.
It's just that the delay in calling, and the fact that the person Jiji said would come to pick up Kerry never came, these two things made Ronggui feel a little flustered for no reason.
Now they have all moved to the living room, where there is a sofa, which allows Kerry to lie down more comfortably.
Ronggui moved the bench made by Xiaomei and sat next to Kerry, while Xiaomei sat on the single sofa beside him. In order to save electricity, he did not continue to do handwork, and now he is staying here just for company.
At this moment, Ronggui suddenly heard a knock on the door!
Boom boom boom!
Three strokes very regularly!
The voice was not loud, at first Ronggui thought it was Xiao Huang who was pecking at the door, but he soon found that Xiao Huang was curled up under Xiaomei's sofa.
Ronggui immediately stood up nervously.
Could it be the jailer? Ronggui didn't speak, but he fully expressed his worry in looking at Xiaomei.
"No hurry." Xiaomei whispered.
After recruiting Ronggui, the two of them removed the sofa cushions and hid Kerry under the sofa cushions. This was discovered when Ronggui was cleaning. He would put Kerry on the sofa in the living room. One is that it is more comfortable here, another reason is that the storage compartment under the sofa, a three-seater sofa of normal length, can just fit the tall and thin Cree into it.
If Ronggui was alone, he would be in a hurry now, but Xiaomei was so calm, so he also calmed down.
The two quickly hid Kerry, then Xiaomei walked in front, Ronggui followed closely behind Xiaomei, and the two walked towards the door together.
Xiaomei purposely freed an arm, Ronggui immediately grasped it tightly, and the two of them opened the door in this awkward posture.
With no incoming calls, it is still dark outside.
Ah no, because they have ground beans, it's not purely dark outside, but there are dots of green light.
Through Xiaomei's shoulder, Ronggui looked up subconsciously, there was only air, and no one was outside.
Ronggui was stunned.
However, in the next second, Xiaomei greeted the air: "Hello."
Ronggui was taken aback!
He quickly switched the imaging system, but the front is still empty
Just when he couldn't help hugging Xiaomei's arms even tighter, his gaze slipped, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of a green human figure
Ronggui was so frightened that his legs began to tremble, but trembling, he finally woke up.
Switching the imaging system to normal mode again, Ronggui finally saw the person Xiaomei greeted:
He is very short.
He and Xiaomei are short enough, but the other party is actually shorter than them, no wonder Ronggui habitually looked up and couldn't see anything at first.
I am used to meeting people who are taller than me, but it is rare to meet someone who is petite than me, so I am not used to it.
The short visitor was wearing a black scarf that didn't look like a scarf, and a cloak that didn't look like a cloak. He stood quietly at the door with thin feet.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "I'm here to pick up Kerry."
Ronggui froze when the voice sounded.
The other party's voice sounds ordinary at first glance, but when you listen carefully, you always feel that it is full of discord, as if it has been changed? !
Picking Xiaomei's arm, Ronggui tilted his head.
"Who asked you to come?" Xiaomei continued talking to the other party.
"The one who pays me is Jiji." The man continued to reply with a deliberately changed voice.
Ronggui immediately knew: this is the person Jiji told them before, who will come to pick up Kerry later.
"You wait outside." After Xiaomei finished speaking, she closed the door again.
Together with Ronggui, they lifted Kerry out from under the sofa, and they carried Kerry back to the gate.
When Kerry and Xiaomei were put down to open the door, Ronggui deliberately stuffed several handkerchiefs, nutritional supplements and other things from the side into the quilt wrapped around Kerry.
In the darkness, Kerry was lifted up again.
Ronggui discovered that there was more than one person at the door! In addition to the short figure who talked to them before, there are actually two equally short people!
I don't know that the other party was hiding there in the first place, or they just appeared when they were carrying Kerry, Ronggui only now found out that there are actually three people outside!
Kerry had already been lifted up by them, logically, they could leave, however, Ronggui noticed that the black figure who had talked with them before suddenly stopped.
"Today, can I buy ground beans by the way?"
When he was talking, he was standing next to a basin of ground beans. In the dark, the ground beans shone with green fluorescence.
To be honest, most people don't know the term ground bean at all. Secondly, most people will instinctively not think that it is edible when they see this kind of green fluorescent plant.
The other party accurately said the name of Didou
"Sure, three or five?" Xiaomei remained calm as usual.
"I just made money, I want ten today." Soi Ying stretched out all the fingers of both hands.
Seeing that it was obviously not the first conversation between the two, the light bulb in Ronggui's mind suddenly lit up.
He thinks he knows who it is.
Ghost guest!
When Xiaomei set up a stall, she was always the last mysterious customer who came to buy ground beans every night!
Before, he had only heard about Xiaomei, but he had never met her before. Often the other party disappeared on the way he was about to come, but he just couldn't meet her.
No matter how amazing it is, Ronggui nicknamed the other party "Ghost Guest"!
The flowerpot closest to him was just enough for ten ground beans, so Xiaomei simply picked up the whole flowerpot and handed it in the direction of the other party.
"There are eleven here." The other party counted carefully, and then said to Xiaomei.
"Buy ten and get one free." Xiaomei said with a straight face.
Buy ten get one free is the slogan that Ronggui came up with, but unfortunately, this customer always buys three or five, and he never used a discount.
But now, he finally enjoys this discount.
Ronggui saw him take the flower pot and looked down.
Obviously unable to see the other party's expression in the dark, but Rong Gui always felt that the other party seemed very happy.
"Can I come over to buy ground beans from you in the future?" After a while, the other party raised his head again, Ronggui heard him ask Xiaomei this way.
"Yes." Xiaomei nodded.
"Oh." The other party also nodded, without any greeting, he and his companion walked straight towards the elevator.
Ronggui looked at the opponent's back reflexively.
He thought the other party would swipe the card to open the elevator, who knows
The elevator door didn't open, and the other party's figure just disappeared in front of the elevator!
It was hard to believe his eyes, Ronggui deliberately took out a small handkerchief to wipe his eyeballs, and then tugged Xiaomei's arm.
Gripping Xiaomei and running to the elevator, Ronggui observed carefully for a long time, but there was nothing! nothing!
He can't see how the other party disappeared!
In the end, Xiaomei took out the flashlight, and after slowly shining it around, the circular halo finally stopped on the ceiling in front of the elevator entrance.
The light of the flashlight stayed there for a long time before Ronggui noticed a row of round holes there.
Very thin, small, neatly arranged in a rectangular shape, and the area is not large.
"That's the ventilation duct, that's where the other party should have gone just now." Xiaomei said, making sure Ronggui had seen enough, he put the flashlight back.
It's incredible!
Even if the speed of the opponent leaving the ventilation duct is too fast, isn't it?
In the blink of an eye!
No! Not even the blink of an eye!
But in this way, he finally understood why he couldn't meet that ghost guest every time before.
