Chapter 237: Surprise? Kidnapped again?
()
It's dark. γChinese Network Debut. γ
In the five-star hotel Shenlan Hotel opened by Longjia, it is already brightly lit.
Chu Lingfeng and the Xiaolongnu sisters ordered food in the private room first, and Li Qing and Su Su sat in the hotel lobby, waiting for Scarlett to arrive.
After Xiaolongnu and Song Qiqi left, Su Su immediately asked pointedly, "When you called Scarlett just now, did she tell you something strange?" β
"Huh?" This sentence was a brainless question, Li Qing didn't understand why Su Su asked this, he blinked at the moment, and said strangely: "Su Su, I don't understand what you said." What strange thing would Scarlett tell me? β
Su Su smiled meaningfully and said, "Calculate the time, it should have taken effect." She didn't tell you, probably because she was afraid that after you listened to it, there would be some bad reactions. β
"Effective? Bad reaction? Where is this? Li Qing was even more strange: "Su Su, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" How do I feel that my IQ is not enough and I don't understand it at all? β
"If you don't understand, forget it." Su Su grinned and said, "When you see her, you will naturally understand." There will be a surprise then! β
β¦β¦
Scarlett walked mechanically on the sidewalks of the campus, expressionless and stiff in her steps. On the adjacent avenue, taxis pass by from time to time, many of which are empty. Scarlett didn't seem to see it, and she didn't mean to call a taxi at all.
At some point, a slow-moving taxi appeared behind Scarlett. The taxi drove slowly behind her at a speed equivalent to Scarlett's walking, and several students waiting for the bus called for a taxi on the way, but the car did not stop.
It had been following Scarlett for almost two hundred meters before the taxi sped up sharply, drove up to Scarlett's side and stopped.
Doodle! The horn sounded, and the taxi driver poked his head out of the window, looked at Scarlett with a smile, and said, "Miss, do you want to take the car?" β
It wasn't until she was alarmed by the sound of the horn that Scarlett suddenly came to her senses and remembered where she was going.
She glanced at the taxi driver and saw that it was a man in his thirties with a kind face, so she stepped down the sidewalk, opened the back door and sat in, and said in Chinese: "Go to the Deep Blue Hotel." β
"Okay!" The taxi driver smiled and stepped on the accelerator to start the car. Soon, the taxi drove out of the campus.
Scarlett sat in the taxi, looking ahead with a worried expression, her beautiful emerald blue eyes full of incredulity.
"Is it an auditory hallucination, or is it a ......" she unconsciously touched her ears covered by a plush hat, and thought to herself: "Or is it because of the mutation of my ears that I have developed a legendary superpower?" β
Until now, her heart has not subsided, and the words of the cat and dog are still echoing in her mind. At first, she couldn't believe it all, suspecting that she was suffering from auditory hallucinations due to excessive psychological pressure. But when she got into the taxi, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it shouldn't be an auditory hallucination.
Thinking of the changes in her ears, Scarlett, who was influenced by all kinds of superhero comics when she was in the United States, unconsciously imagined her own changes for the better out of self-comfort.
"The Hulk was hit by gamma rays and turned into an invincible monster...... The Fantastic Four were shot by cosmic rays and appeared with various superpowers...... Spider-Man gets bitten by a mutant spider, gets the ability to spider and so on and so forth...... There have been countless examples in reality that the production of superheroes often only takes a small accident......"
Well, Scarlett's so-called "countless examples in reality" are undoubtedly examples from real comics and movies. It is obviously ridiculous to use the examples of those superheroes to confirm everything that happened to them.
However, now Scarlett desperately needs a reason to comfort herself, to prove that she has not become a monster, but because of some unknown accident, from an ordinary girl to a special girl with superpowers like superheroes.
Only in this way can she relieve the pressure in her heart a little, and can she give herself enough confidence and give herself the courage to face Li Qing.
"Yes, I must have it for some unknown reason...... Maybe it was cosmic radiation, maybe it was bitten by some strange little bug, maybe it was the bottle of perfume I bought a few days ago that was mixed with strange chemicals, or maybe maybe it was just gutter oil...... In short, my mutation is a benign mutation! β
Scarlett couldn't stop cheering herself: "I only have ears that have become strange, but those netizens on the forum also said that my ears are very similar to elf ears, to be exact, it should be half-elf ears." But whether it's elf ears or half-elf ears, they are beautiful. There are also many netizens on the forum who have praised me, saying that my ears are beautiful......
"Although the ears have become pointed and long, as long as they look good, there should be no problem! Li Qing should also like those netizens who praised my beautiful ears and liked my new ears! Compared to the ears, hair color or something is not a problem! The white blonde hair is also very beautiful, and it can also reflect the luster of moonlight under the light, Li Qing should like it too!
"As for my superpowers, being able to understand the language of kittens and puppies is not a particularly strange superpower. I won't become a monster like the Hulk, and I won't have to crawl around like Spider-Man, I just have a few more foreign languages, and Li Qing definitely won't care about that! β
Thinking of this, Scarlett's worries dissipated most of them strangely.
She only feels that she is now full of confidence and courage. She believes that after she meets Li Qing, she will be able to bravely speak out about her changes. She even believed that Li Qing would not treat her as a monster after knowing her changes, and maybe she would be very happy.
"Really, I've been worrying about something for the past two days! It's obviously nothing, but I'm scared of myself...... I haven't eaten for two whole days, and I'm really hungry now...... I'm starving, I want to eat......"
Under the strong self-soothing ability, after miraculously improving her mood, Scarlett immediately felt that she was hungry in her belly, and couldn't help but say to the taxi driver: "Master, how long will it take to get to the Deep Blue Hotel?" β
While Scarlett was thinking wildly, the taxi driver had been quietly observing her expression through the rearview mirror. After listening to her question, he glanced at Scarlett in the rearview mirror, his gaze stayed on Scarlett's snow-white thigh under Scarlett's ****** for a short while, and said with a smile: "It's almost there, it's coming soon." β
"Oh!" Scarlett nodded, lost in her thoughts.
The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror again, and saw that Scarlett was wandering away again, and his eyes lingered on Scarlett's deep cleavage squeezed out of the short-sleeved crewneck T-shirt, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he flicked the steering wheel and turned into an alleyway.
Scarlett didn't realize it, she was only immersed in her own thoughts, thinking about how to confide in Li Qing after meeting him. By the way, she also imagined Li Qing's possible reactions, as well as her own responses at that time.
When she came back to her senses, feeling that her stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier, and wanted to ask the taxi driver again how long it would be to arrive, she suddenly found that the taxi had already driven down a narrow road.
The road is full of potholes, and the body bumps from time to time. On both sides are low, dilapidated bungalows, and every other section you can see a dark alleyway. The street light poles here are also rusty, many street lights are not lit, and there are sections of the road that have fallen into darkness everywhere.
"Old Town?" When Scarlett chatted with Li Qing once, she heard Li Qing talk about the glamorous Dongfu City on the surface, but also the dilapidated and outdated old city. Not only is the environment complex, but there are also many dark areas. Many out-of-town outcasts like to hide in the old city. Locally in the old city, there are also a large number of gangsters/Taoists who are fishing for the wrong door.
Li Qing also solemnly told Scarlett not to go to the old city without his company. Scarlett has always kept in mind Li Qing's advice and has never had the idea of visiting the old city.
But I never thought about it, just an inattentive taxi actually pulled me to the old town!
Scarlett's heart sank, and a panicked emotion rose in her heart, but she thought again that she was no longer an ordinary person, she already had superpowers, if that seemingly honest taxi driver really had any bad intentions for herself...... You don't have the power to resist!
As soon as she thought of this, Scarlett's flustered emotions calmed down suddenly, and she asked quietly, "Master, you seem to have taken the wrong path." You don't have to go through the Old Town to get to the Deep Blue Hotel, right? β
The taxi driver laughed and said, "Don't worry, little girl, I'm not mistaken." There's a shortcut to the Deep Blue Hotel, which can save at least half of the journey. You're a foreigner, so it's no surprise that you don't know the shortcut. Hehe, good luck for you. Other taxi drivers, seeing that you are a foreigner, may pull you around for an extra twenty or thirty kilometers. I'm different, not only do I not take a long detour, but I also take you a shortcut. It can save you a lot of fare! β
"Really?" Scarlett replied quietly.
While the taxi driver was talking, Scarlett quietly took out the phone and wanted to call Li Qing.
She didn't want to call the police. Once the police are called, if she is really taken to the police station, then the abnormality of her ears will definitely be exposed. She now dares to inform Li Qing of her abnormality, but she never dares to expose it to state organs. She believes that if it is really exposed, waiting for herself, maybe she will get a promising job such as being studied by others, as Li Qing said.
So she just wanted to dial Li Qing's phone and let Li Qing know what happened to her.
However, when she took out the phone, she was dumbfounded - now she uses a touchscreen phone, and she wants to hide the phone behind her back to avoid the driver's sight and blind typing, with her skills, she can't do it at all!
And if you don't hide the phone behind your back, once the phone is activated, the bright light on the phone screen is enough for the driver to find out that she wants to make a call!
"It's bad luck...... Scarlett screamed, but she wasn't scared. has superpowers, and she is somewhat confident. Quietly put away the phone at the moment, pricked up your ears, and listened carefully.
When she paid attention, she suddenly found that her hearing became extremely acute, and some of the surrounding noises clearly reached her ears through the noise of the car. Among them, there are many sounds made by cats, dogs, and even rats.
So Scarlett secretly prayed: "It must be successful!" Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let out a deafening scream: "Whoever hears my voice, come and save me!" β.
