Chapter 32: The Resurgence of Stability and Chaos
Ikki hung up the phone and shook his head at Leo Lu in frustration.
At this time, Dr. Oki also walked over.
"Well, did your mother say anything? She must be worried about you, right?"
But Yihui lowered his head when he heard this.
"The phone call just now...... Didn't get through ......"
“…… How so? You try again. ”
Leo Lu also walked up: "Ikki has redialed more than a dozen times, but there is no reply...... So, Ikki worries that something will go wrong. ”
Leolu looked up at Kazuki, he must be very disappointed now......
Dr. Oki stretched out his hand, touched Ikki's head, and smiled kindly, "Maybe it's just a problem with the phone line, after all, this research institute is closed when not in use, and it's normal for the facilities inside to deteriorate." Let's go rest first, I'll check it out, and if it's repaired, I'll call you home!"
Leo Lu looked at the helpless Kazuki, and had no choice but to follow him towards the bedroom he had prepared according to Oki's wishes.
Pushing open the door of the frosted glass white research room, Kazuki threw himself on the bed, while Leo Lu sat on the edge of the bed, resting against the load-bearing plank.
There were two beds in total, one of which was given to Selia by Kazuki and Leolu, and she was told to rest first.
Therefore, Ikki and Leolu's movements were also carried out in a low voice, only at first Ikki was a little louder when he pounced on the bed.
Looking at Selia sleeping in the moonlight, Kazuki rolled to the edge of the bed and gently touched Leolu's head.
"I'm awake, tell me about the phone call, I know you care. ”
Yihui smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect you to see this." ”
"Of course, sometimes you act a little stranger, but no matter what the situation, your expression will betray your thoughts. Leolu raised his paw to his head and waved, "Alright, don't poke my head again, it's itchy!"
"Hehe, I'm sorry~" Ikki withdrew his hand, rolled over and lay down, "Actually, the phone just now didn't break down as Dr. Ohki said, but there is no way to get through anyway...... I don't know why......"
Leolu clasped his paws around his chest and nodded, "It looks like this." ”
But why? Why doesn't Yukino answer the phone?
"You also know my mother's character, as long as the phone rings, she will definitely answer it, even if the phone rings small...... Why didn't you answer this time? I said I was going to call her......
Xue Nai's personality Leo Lu knows very well, during the time he lived with them, Xue Nai's infinite energy and vitality surprised Leo Lu, and the call was always received before everyone else, there was never an exception.
So this time it seems weird......
"Okay, when did you become a child with paranoia of being killed, don't think about it so much, it's a big deal to find a spirit center and try again tomorrow, Xue Nai may just be asleep, you see it's so late, it seems a little inappropriate to force her to get up and answer the phone." ”
Kazuki sighed: "That's the only way it can be...... Well, good night Leo Road. ”
"Well, get some rest early. ”
But in the middle of the night, Leolu suddenly opened his eyes. He slowly stood up on the bed, and after making sure that Ikki and Selia had slept well and would not catch a cold, he sneaked out of the room.
I pretended not to care before, just to reassure Ikki. But in fact, he was also very worried about the situation in Ikki's house.
Yukino didn't answer the phone, and it was like water flowing to a high place, it was absolutely impossible.
And the line that Oki said is in disrepair is also pure nonsense, because Ikki listened to Leo Lu after one of the dials, and there is absolutely no problem with the call, but there is a problem with the content.
“…… Do you want to mess with your voice...... It's really underestimated. ”
With that, Leo Lu found the tallest stool in the hall, tiptoed down the earpiece with his paws, and began to press the phone number of Yihui's house on the keyboard with his tiptoe.
After making a mistake ten times, Leolu finally pressed the last button correctly, picked up the earpiece and sat in a chair waiting.
First of all, the waiting tone after dialing, it is normal all this time, but after a long wait, the phone will start to play a busy signal that the waiting time is too long and the link signal is interrupted.
Herein lies the problem.
Leo Lu pressed the earpiece to his ear above his head, waiting for the busy sound to sound.
"Dut...... Honk............ Toot, toot, toot—"
The busy sound did sound, and Leolu quickly dropped the earpiece to the shelf dedicated to the earpiece.
Leolu, however, had a sad countenance.
The order of the voices on the phone is correct, but it's just order.
As the two very similar sounds switched, Leolu's ears picked up the sound of a dead cassette tape changing from the machine.
The sound was very faint to Leolu, not to mention Ikki, a human child.
So it's not that the phone didn't go through, but it was manipulated.
Someone who doesn't want Ikki's phone to be connected to another line?
Something must have happened over there in Yukino. In this way, Hai's long absence from home at that time should also have something to do with it......
Damn it...... I forgot it all before...... Why only notice now!
But he didn't have someone to turn to for help - Nazi was also in Golden City, and it wasn't far from Ikki's house.
So, Leolu laboriously began to press the keyboard again.
Nazi's phone number Leo Lu had only dialed by Yihui, but it was only a vague memory, so it was just a gamble with no chance of winning.
But luckily, the phone did work, but the person on the other end of the phone was not Nazi.
"Hey...... This is the Golden City Gymnasium...... I am...... Crimson. ”
It was the same familiar voice again, although I didn't quite understand why Crimson was there, but the situation was urgent, and there was no time to explain.
"Hello?"
Leo Lu thought about it, then casually called the earpiece twice and put it aside, while he jumped out of the chair and ran towards Damu's bedroom.
"Leolu, are you the one from Ikki...... Hey, is anyone there?"
Poor Crimson didn't know that Leo Lu had already run away, so he could only "feed" vigorously.
Just when he thought it was just Leolu's prank and was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard Oki's panicked voice as if it was on fire.
"Crimson, hurry to Ikki's house and take your elves with you, maybe they will be in some danger!"
Crimson, who was taken aback by the earpiece, nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Oki wiped the cold sweat from his head, straightened his pajamas, and looked at Leolu as if he had seen a terrible demon.
"Really...... You just need to explain the situation, is it necessary to drag me over directly, you must know that I am not young now, in case it flashes to the waist ......"
Leo Lu didn't bother to pay attention to Oki's complaints, just lowered his head and thought about something.
"But you're really smart, it's a good thing you didn't tell Ikki about this, if he found out, maybe even we would have something going to do. You're one of the funniest elves I've ever seen. ”
Leo Lu gave Oki a blank look. Although the old man was a good man and liked elves very much, Leolu had no intention of leaving himself to him to study......
Compared to this, he cares more about who does this kind of thing.
——————————————————————
Ikki at home.
Nazi's expression changed immediately after answering the phone, she dropped the phone in a panic and rushed directly to the kitchen.
"Oh, don't be so anxious, Xiao Nazi, you have to wait for the dim sum~"
But Nazi didn't say much, but directly used her superpower to drag Yukino out strongly.
"I'm sorry Aunt Yukino, I'll explain later, now we have more important things to do...... But first you have to find Uncle Hai......"
Nazi threw out the Poké Ball and released Casey, and directly ordered, "Casey, please do me a favor......"
But before he could finish speaking, the door was opened, and Crimson stood in front of it with a nervous face.
"How's it going, what's going on here?"
But Nazi didn't reply, just rushed over and pulled him over.
"Just right, you can help too!"
So Natsu continued to give orders to Casey, "Casey, take us to Joban City!"
Who the hell did such a heart-wrenching thing!!
