CHAPTER 40
Ke Bei was woken up by the sound of an excavator "clanging clang".
The light shining through the window was a little dazzling, and Ke Bei covered her eyes a little uncomfortably, and then looked at the familiar and cramped single room, with its drab white walls, half-worn fabric sofas, and dark curtains in front of the bedβit was her happy community's home.
Although Xie Mo was not there, Ke Bei knew with her toes that he had brought her back.
The sound of the excavator was still ringing, and Ke Bei remembered that a reminder had been posted at the entrance of the community some time ago, and it seemed that the garden was being renovated.
Ke Bei slept softly and didn't want to move at all, but after waiting for a long time, Xie Mo didn't come back, and his mouth was so dry that he could only get up slowly and be self-reliant.
Ke Bei's feet were still a little fluttery when she stood up, she poured herself a glass of water, and then slowly walked to the balcony to take a look, only to find that the sky was dark and red, and it was already evening.
Ke Bei touched her shriveled stomach, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep.
There was no clock in the house, Ke Bei casually took an apple from the refrigerator, and walked to the bedside to get the phone while nibbling on it, but it turned off automatically when the battery ran out.
As soon as Ke Bei turned on the battery, her mobile phone shook and her hands went numb, and the tinkling sound of the short message almost blew up the room.
Before the text message prompt stopped, a phone call came in, and Ke Bei hurriedly picked it up.
Zhou Nannan scolded over there: "My aunt and grandmother! You're answering the phone! Three days, sister!! Three days!! There is no text message on the phone, you are trying to make me die! β
Three days?
Ke Bei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, took off her phone and looked at the screen, and there was a "WTF" on her face - it had been three days since she left Rongcheng, and she had been in a coma for three days this time!
Zhou Nannan saw that he hadn't spoken, and said anxiously: "Hey? Beibei! Are you alright? β
ββ¦β¦ All right. β
"That's good! Why haven't you had a phone call in the past three days? I don't even dare to tell my mother, but I'm dying! β
In this case, Ke Bei naturally couldn't tell her the truth, so she could only make up a reason at will, saying that the unit that sent them back was strictly guarded and confiscated her mobile phone, and she had just returned home now.
Zhou Nannan will be skeptical.
Ke Bei finally deceived Zhou Nannan through her mouth, and just hung up the phone, the mobile phone rang again, and this time it was Officer Wei who called.
"I said, why didn't you answer your phone calls for the past two days? I almost thought something had happened to you! Officer Wei said from the other end.
Ke Bei laughed dryly, "There's something wrong with the phone, what's the matter with me?" β
Officer Wei was surprised: "What else are you asking me about?" I asked you that question a few days ago, and you haven't answered it yet. β
ββ¦β¦ Issue? What's the problem? Ke Bei was in a coma for three days, and her head was still a little foggy.
Officer Wei snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "It's what happened recently, ask your boyfriend if he knows what's going on!" β
Ke Bei remembered that there really seemed to be such a thing, and then she was immediately entangled - the disappearing building and the chaotic space, these Ke Bei naturally knew what the reason was, and Officer Wei had seen strange things happen to monsters with her, if the truth was told, it was estimated that he would be able to believe it, but the question was - to say it or not to say it?
Ke Bei hesitated for a moment, and then made a choice in his heart: "I asked, and he said he didn't know." β
After speaking, he didn't listen to what was being shouted over there, so he hung up the phone directly.
More things are better than less things, anyway, even if Officer Wei knows the truth, he can't change the status quo, so it's better not to tell him, and it will save him from always running to ask this and that in the future.
After making sure that there were no calls, Ke Bei clicked on her phone to check the missed calls and unread messages of the previous two days.
Most of the calls were made by Zhou Nannan, and the rest were Officer Wei, and one or two were classmates, Ke Bei ignored it, but when she continued to scroll down, she suddenly found that there was a surprising name in the missed call two days ago - Dong Run.
How can it be?
Ke Bei watched Dong Run "disappear" with her own eyes, didn't she go back to "that world"? How could it be possible to call again?!
Then Ke Bei thought of the silver bank card left by Dong Run before, because Dong's father was not in the city, Ke Bei mailed it directly, could it be that Dong's father used Dong Run's mobile phone to call after receiving the silver card?
The more Ke Bei thought about it, the more likely it became, and after thinking about it, he directly dialed back, but the result was...... Empty number?
Empty number?
How did you call an empty number?
Ke Bei only felt a chill down her spine, and she sat on the couch until a soft "click" pulled her thoughts back.
Xie Mo opened the door with a big bag of things and came in, and when he saw Ke Bei waking up, his eyes lit up, and he ran over to Ke Bei and pinched here and touched there, "Does it hurt anywhere?" Still dizzy? β
Ke Bei shook her head, then touched her stomach and said, "I'm hungry." β
"I've got you some food."
Xie Mo put the bag in his hand on the dining table, then took the dishes out, poured out the packed food, and after fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks, he beckoned Ke Bei to come over to eat.
Ke Bei was in a coma for three days, and was bombarded by a series of questions just now, and she was already hungry and overdrawn, so she threw all the problems aside, and just buried her head in eating first.
After eating eight minutes full, Ke Bei's movements began to slow down, she poked the rice in the bowl and asked Xie Mo, "Why did I faint again?" And he was in a coma for three days! Also, the feeling this time is the same as the feeling I felt in the nursing home and Wangfujing before, my head hurts, my eyes are dizzy, and it seems that something has been pulled out of my body...... It's hard to die! β
Xie Mo's eyes flashed, and then he said thoughtfully: "You have an important military document on your body, so the situation is special, and you may have some common ground with the main brain, it should be that after the virtual channel is opened, the sudden increase in the number of virus invasions has had a certain impact on you, you have a good rest these days, and I will deal with the rest of the things." β
When Ke Bei heard him say this, her heart was relieved, and she happily took two more bites of food, and then suddenly remembered again: "By the way, there is another very strange thing." β
"What's the matter?"
Ke Bei took out her mobile phone and showed him, "Look, Dong Run actually called me two days ago!" Dong Run, that's the one I took you to her real room to make a helmet before, do you remember-she actually called me two days ago! But how is that possible? Ke Bei wondered: "Didn't she 'disappear', she went back to 'that world', how could she still call me?" β
Xie Mo took her mobile phone and looked at it carefully for a while, Ke Bei saw that his expression seemed a little strange, and just wanted to ask what was going on, he saw that Xie Mo instantly returned to normal.
"It shouldn't be fine," Xie Mo said, "but it's also possible that the virus has mutated...... Just in case, put your phone here for now, and I'll give it back to you when I figure it out. β
Kebei: "...... The mobile phone is given to you, so what should I do if someone calls me? β
Xie Mo took out his mobile phone, "Use mine first." β
Ke Bei thought about it, felt that safety was important, and didn't shirk it, took Xie Mo's mobile phone, and sent Xie Mo's number to a few common contacts, so that they could contact this number directly if they had something.
Seeing her so obedient, Xie Mo couldn't help but kiss her, it was not enough to kiss her cheeks, his eyelids, nose, and mouth were all kissed again, and when he kissed her, something was wrong.
By the time Ke Bei reacted to refuse, she had already thrown Xie Mo on the bed at once.
Ke Bei was unhappy, "I want to eat, and I haven't finished eating yet." β
"I'll eat later." Xie Mo had already reached for her collar.
"It's cold!"
Xie Mo ignored her and continued to move his hands and feet.
"Hey! Get up, at least let me take a shower first. β
ββ¦β¦ Wait, wait, that's not the case! Your clothes are all torn for you, let go! I'll take it off myself! β
"Don't! Lao Xie, you turn off the lights first......"
"Okay, you know, you'll do it yourself this time...... Hiss--forget it, old thank you, lie down, or I'll come......"
β¦β¦
After a goblin fight, Ke Bei's body that had slept for three days was exhausted, and after taking a bath, his eyes went black and he slept darkly.
I thought I could sleep until dawn, but in the second half of the night, Ke Bei couldn't sleep well in a daze, she always felt that her lower abdomen was cold and cold, and it hurt a little, as if something was sticking into her stomach along the navel and stirring around, painful and icy, her consciousness was obviously a little awake, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake up, just like a ghost pressing the bed.
I don't know how long it took, until the sound of construction downstairs suddenly came, Ke Bei suddenly sat up from the bed. She was so shocked that her head was cold sweat, and she subconsciously lifted her clothes to look at her stomach, which was white and smooth, and there was nothing wrong, and then she reached out and pressed it, and there was no pain at all.
It was as if last night's qiΔ was just a dream.
Ke Bei's whole person was instantly relieved, and she lay back on the bed, touched her side, and found that Xie Mo was not there.
She touched the phone on the bedside and looked at it, at 7:31, what did Xie Mo do when he got up so early?
Because it is a single room, in order to retain some privacy, Ke Bei used a curtain to separate the bed from the living room, and the curtain was closed when she slept, so she couldn't see the living room clearly.
Ke Bei thought that Xie Mo should be in the bathroom, and just as she wanted to call him, she heard a faint conversation coming from the door.
Except for Xie Mo, there was anyone else in the house?
Ke Bei was stunned, she subconsciously listened to it - sure enough, there were small voices in the living room, one of which was Xie Mo, and the other was something Ke Bei had never heard before...... Girl?
A woman?
