DAY 42 Changing state of affairs
I looked at the silhouette of the staircase faintly in the darkness, frowned and defiantly grabbed him, stopped him, and asked him in a whisper, "Where does this lead?" What about 'Mom and Dad'? What happened to Mo? An attitude of "if you don't give me an explanation now, I won't go with you".
"Shall we walk while talking? Rest assured, 'Mom and Dad' are here, and they're all right. I'll tell you everything about Sister Mo. The younger brother said softly.
I thought about it for a moment and nodded, afraid that he wouldn't see it, so I pushed his hand again, signaled for me to agree, and let him continue to lead the way.
Understandingly, he continued to lead me down. "There's a ladder here, be careful." My brother was holding me carefully, still looking overprotective of himself thinking that "if he was taller than me, he would be my brother".
But halfway through the game, a thought suddenly crossed my mind: "It's possible that my younger brother has eaten Xinnuo No. 1 or No. 2, maybe he is in the same group as 'Mom and Dad'." What if his current behavior is actually a sudden illness? ”
In the darkness, this thought was infinitely magnified by me, and it stretched out a lot of jumble and terrible speculation: Can I really trust him? Is it really "Mom and Dad" below? If he is really sick now, no one will know that I am killed by him here, right? Maybe he's going to kidnap me and take me hostage with Mom and Dad...... No, not hostages, maybe the subject of some strange experiment...... Could it be that they had planned all this a long time ago? Just waiting for me to get on the set? Otherwise, why did he react faster than anyone else just now, and ran in all of a sudden, just so that I could come with me and kidnap him...... Actually, would it be better to go with Xiaomo just now? Is it too late for me to call for help now? Uncle, will they find out in time and come to my rescue? ……
Before I could finish my thoughts, the stairs went to the end. Underneath was a small, airtight room, with a wall with many small holes, which seemed to be part of the outer wall of the building, and at the moment there were rays of faint sunlight just enough for me to see the whole room. A person pounced on me, it was my mother, she hugged me tightly excitedly, and said to me anxiously: "Nuonuo, are you okay?" I'm here with your dad, you know that little classmate of yours isn't that simple person, don't trust her too much. ”
Before I could react, my father also walked over from the side: "Yes, listen to your mother, that's right." ”
I looked at my dad and mom in a daze, then turned to look at my brother next to me, waiting for him to give me a reasonable explanation.
The younger brother kindly explained: "Just now I chased after me and followed my 'parents' down the stairs to this side, so I hurriedly stopped them and asked them what they were doing. They were very anxious and told me that there are many, many dragon boat flowers here, the number is amazing, and the variety is different from the one we grow, and this is one of the real trial medicine raw materials. But there was something on the empty floor where we had just come down that was disturbing the smell of the dragon boat flowers, and my parents couldn't tell their exact location, so I asked them to find them together. ”
"In order to prevent them from running around anymore, I asked them to change back into our parents first. They didn't know why they painfully agreed, but I was promised again and again that I would find the dragon boat flower here. ”
"When they come back, I'm going to go up first, because there's nothing in this room. But then I heard footsteps, so I hid at the top of the stairs with my parents to see who it was. ”
"You should have guessed that it was Sister Xiaomo who came. In fact, when I was in the villa before, I thought that Sister Xiaomo was a little weird, so I deliberately paid attention to it and deliberately signaled my parents not to move first. ”
"Sure enough, Sister Mo's behavior next is very strange......" The younger brother frowned and paused, as if recalling something, "Because it's dark, it's a little hard to see...... But I vaguely saw that she walked to a certain place with a very precise purpose, as if with a key or something, opened the 'count to the left' that she had just said in the recording, and then recorded that recording for you, and went down. ”
"The problem was that the door was locked, and it was impossible for my parents and I to get inside. Don't you think it's suspicious that she didn't try to come to us, but that way somehow she was going? My brother grabbed my arms with some emotion and stared at me tightly.
Mom and Dad nodded their heads next to them and testified: "Yes, yes, yes, we all saw it." And she smiled at us before the recording, as if she knew we were here, which felt very weird...... Anyway, don't get too close to that little classmate of yours, you know? ”
I looked at them hesitantly and nodded, "Okay." But...... Xiaomo, she herself feels very weird sometimes, but after you really get to know her, you will find that this is not the case. Could it be that you misunderstood her? ”
"You don't even believe your parents anymore?!" Mom looked at me very seriously.
I nodded helplessly: "Of course I believe you." Isn't it more suspicious that I'm staying with you like this now? And if she is really suspicious, wouldn't it be bad to find her directly? Why don't I go over and see what the situation is, at least know what her purpose is, and then let's make the next step, shall we? ”
"No, that's too dangerous." The younger brother immediately vetoed, "And she may have sensed that you were coming to our side." She's so familiar here, and if she takes you somewhere, it's hard for us to chase you back. After going through so much, I don't want my family to be any more uncertain about their personal safety. ”
"......" I looked at my brother in embarrassment. Although I can understand his thoughts very well, and I feel the same way about my family, it really isn't a good idea to trap me here right now.
"Or else." The younger brother made a concession with difficulty, "I'll go with you." ”
I was a little speechless: "...... Isn't this just a** naked and telling her that I've already communicated with you? ”
"Whether she's suspicious or not, I must go with you." The younger brother said in a tone that could not be refused, "I can tell her that I just chased my parents and lost them, and then when I was wandering, I happened to run into you and came with you." After speaking, he seemed to realize that his attitude was too tough, he paused again, softened his tone and explained to me, "The main thing is that I think you don't pay much attention to our opinions, and there will definitely be danger, and I can't let it go." ”
I opened my mouth, but I couldn't refute it. It's true that I didn't particularly care about what they said. Xiaomo has always been misunderstood by others at school, but I know that she is actually a very good girl. Maybe this time, it was also Mom and Dad and my brother who misunderstood her - mainly because it really didn't do her any good to lie to me, and we didn't have anything on us that she could look at. If her purpose was to kidnap me, it would be even more unlikely: there are so many opportunities in school, why wait until now? What's more, we took the initiative to find her.
However, I understood my brother's thoughts, so I immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, then we'd better hurry up." Mom and Dad, you are waiting here, and we will be back soon. If you're worried, go downstairs and look for your uncle, who went down the stairs just now. After saying that, he pulled his younger brother and ran up.
As a result, as soon as I got out of the stairs, I found my uncle and Fragments who were probing their brains outside. We didn't have time to explain, so we gestured to them to meet Mom and Dad down the stairs behind us, and we ran quickly to the "third staircase to the left".
There was a black hole at the entrance of the staircase, and an eerie aura came to our face, as if warning us about something. We didn't have time to think about it, so we pushed each other down.
