Chapter 301: The Office
Watching the vehicle move away quickly, Ember looked left and right, and after finding no people or vehicles, he quickly crossed the road and reached the opposite sidewalk.
He then walked along the sidewalk, and soon he was headlong into an alley on the side of the street.
He was obviously familiar with the place, and by the dim light, he went straight inside, and came to two closed wooden doors.
The two wooden doors were painted with colored paints of a strange beast with a dragon-like body and a tiger-like head, staring at a pair of eyes as large as copper bells, and opening its bloody mouth as if it were roaring.
This scene seems to be somewhat familiar, it is the place where the foreign woman Maggie Kashoi came to find it, and it is also the so-called Zhou Qingli office, and now, Ember has also found it.
When he arrived at the door, he stared at the two eyes of the beast very familiarly, and the two wooden doors opened silently, but before he entered the door, a black cat came from nowhere, fell from the sky, landed at the door, and squatted there.
Seeing the embers, the black cat's eyes showed a human light, and he actually said in a mouth: "Ember, you are injured!" ”
"Hmm!" Ember showed a wry smile on his face and said, "It's hard to put into words! What about Ah Qing? ”
"Do you need to talk about it?" The old cat said a word, but did not answer his question, but turned and walked inside.
"Blood! Blood! It's scary, it's scary! The parrot that lifted Zhou Qing off the bottom also flapped its wings and flew over, standing on top of the embers' head, screaming vigorously.
"Chirp, don't scream! It's not like I haven't seen it! Ember said as he entered the door.
As soon as he entered, the two doors closed silently.
Standing at the door, there is only one side of the room by the window, and there is a dim light shining in from the outside, but further inside, there is a blurry darkness, even if the eyes are used to the light, they can only vaguely distinguish the furnishings and environment of the room.
The only place where there is a light source and is relatively bright is the innermost corner on the left, and the owner of this office is sitting there playing games with headphones on.
"Ah Qing! What about stealing the video game next door? Enduring the pain, Ember sat down on the sectional sofa in the corner.
"What do you mean by stealing? Can playing games be called stealing? Although he was wearing headphones, after all, he was not completely isolated from the sound of the outside world, Zhou Qingli still heard Ember's words and argued.
"It's not called stealing, what's it called?" Ember laughed.
"Called...... Isn't this very popular now? ”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense! I'm dying, and I'm not going to save me! After arriving here, Ember completely relaxed.
For him, this dirty and dilapidated office is the safest place in the world, and even if he is seriously injured, the first thing he thinks of is not to go to the hospital in the first place, but to come here.
"You can still joke, where did you die?"
Although he said this, Zhou Qingli still put down the game controller, got up from the ground, walked over, glanced at the wound on Ember's chest, and was not a little surprised: "You are really fateful!" I didn't even die from such an injury, and I can still run here alive! ”
"It's thanks to your heart talisman! Otherwise, you're going to die! Ember gasped.
"If it's easy to use, buy more! You see, I'm so poor that I can't even pay the electricity bill, so I can only share electricity with the shop next door! As he spoke, he turned and walked to a cabinet against the wall. This cabinet has a lot of small drawers, like the kind of wooden cabinet used in a Chinese medicine store to store medicinal herbs.
Zhou Qingli rummaged in these drawers for a long time before he found a small white porcelain vase, took it and walked back, but saw the embers sitting on the sofa for some time, tilted his head and closed his eyes, sat on the sofa and fell to the side, unconscious.
"He fainted!" The black cat standing on the back of the sofa explained.
"It's good to be able to make it this far!" As he spoke, he poured out a green pill from the vial and blew gently on it, and the pill glowed with a faint green glow, like a small light bulb.
He stuffed the glowing green pill into Ember's mouth, and then, stretched out a hand and put it in the middle of Ember's chest, his mouth seemed to be muttering something, but he saw his lips move slightly, but he couldn't hear the sound, and then, he saw a golden rune emerge from the center of his eyebrows, blooming with a faint golden light.
No one spoke in the house, but it was very quiet for a while, even the parrot chirping, which had always been noisy, was rarely quiet at this time, and together with the black cat, standing on the backrest, quietly watching Zhou Qingli treat the embers.
After more than ten seconds, Zhou Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his hand, and the golden rune on his forehead gradually faded away.
"This guy is really fateful, if he comes a little later, even the gods will be difficult to save!" As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the 120 emergency number, and reported the situation here.
He is not a doctor after all, and no matter how magical the Dao technique is, it is impossible to bring the white bones back to life - this is a skill that only immortals have. With Ember's injury, he can only do simple treatment, use spells to stabilize the injury, so that the injury will not worsen, and at the same time speed up the healing of the wound, but the real suture surgery and the like still have to go to the hospital to be done.
Just when Zhou Qingli hung up the phone, the embers in the coma slowly opened their eyes again.
"I'm not dead?"
"Nonsense! With me, you can't die if you want to! Zhou Qingli boasted without blushing: "I called an ambulance for you, while there is still some time, tell me, what kind of thousand-year-old demon have you encountered, a hundred-year-old ghost?" It can hurt to such an extent. ”
"Alas! Don't mention it, you've been pitted! ”
Ember spoke, struggling to sit upright, looking at his difficult appearance, Zhou Qingli hurriedly helped him up, and then pulled a chair from behind, sat down opposite Ember, and said, "Say it!" How did you get caught? Haven't you always been shrewd? How can you still be cheated? ”
"It's hard to say whether you were cheated or not, it's an intelligence mistake!"
Injured in the chest, Ember felt a little panting, but after he adjusted his breathing, he spoke: "The client positioned the difficulty of the task at the D level, and the information given was a group of ordinary people with good skills, but after I went, I found that the situation was not right, although most people were indeed just ordinary people with good skills, but their leader turned out to be a monk!" ……”
“…… This monk is very powerful! It seems that I have long expected that I will come, and I used the prepared black dog blood in advance to destroy most of my Dao rune magic weapons, if I hadn't avoided it quickly and used the remaining Dao runes to break through, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really have to be left there. ”
After saying that, he took a few breaths and continued: "...... In addition, the monk will also have a secret method, similar to the divine fight, which can make people almost invulnerable, and I also fought hard to escape! ”
"Tsk! It's miserable! Zhou Qingli shook his head: "What is the client's goal?" ”
"The other party is looking for a coffin!" Ember frowned and said.
"Coffin?" Hearing this, Zhou Qingli was slightly stunned, got up and came to the desk, took out the photo Maggie gave him from the drawer, and asked, "Look, is it this?" ”
"This is it!" Ember looked at it, nodded, then looked at Zhou Qingli and asked, "What, you also took this commission?" ”
"I didn't answer, someone took the initiative to find the door!" After speaking, Zhou Qingli asked, "Have you been taking tasks on the dark web?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Then I don't know who the client is...... Could it be the same person? Or is there someone else looking for this stuff too? Zhou Qingli touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Just then, the sound of an ambulance outside gradually approached, bringing him back to his senses.
He looked out the window and said, "Let's do this for now!" Wait until you're better! ”
Ember nodded, and knew that he was like now, even if Zhou Qingli helped him heal, he would inevitably have to undergo surgery in the hospital, and after that, it would take seven or eight days to heal, and there was no way to deal with this matter for the time being.
