Chapter 17: Free Consciousness (2)

The silence in the base seems to swallow everything, here you will slowly forget the time, slowly lose the touch of loneliness, as if you only have those never-extinguished candles in your eyes, and everything around you seems to be indifferent. It's the tenth day, and the base is still empty, not even a single figure. At first, when I couldn't bear the loneliness, I really wanted to rush to the sleep room and pour a basin of cold water on them so that they could wake up early, but reason told me that I couldn't do that.

Strangely, though, the more anxious my heart became, the more dreary the atmosphere at the base became. In order to calm my mind, I tried not to think about the other people, imagining that I was the only one in this base. Through repeated psychological cues, I gradually got used to walking around the base by myself, used to sitting alone in the cafeteria to eat, and if someone popped up now, I was still a little unaccustomed.

To say that I am the only one in the base is actually inaccurate, because there is still Gu Chengzi. However, since he returned to his room that day, he fell asleep on his bed with a "bang", and his state has been fluctuating, waking up and saying a bunch of things that I don't understand at all, fainting again, and barely doing something and saying a few words, but on the whole, his condition is very bad. Sometimes, when I brought his food from the dining hall, he had no appetite at all, and after much persuasion, he barely ate a few bites and fell asleep in agony, and his appearance was really distressing.

Looking at the way he passed out, I couldn't help but think of myself, since I came to Lazy Town, I really fainted twice, did Lao Xu take care of me like me now? Did he also worry about a stranger like me? After I asked Ali to take a look at Gu Chengzi, Ali and Ahri also disappeared, no matter how I called, they never appeared. But Gu Chengzi was very puzzled when he heard me call him Ah Li and Ah Li, and I didn't know how to explain it to him, looking at his current state, if I told him that there were still two people living in your body, and they were sent by laziness to spy on you, it is estimated that he would have a nervous breakdown in a few minutes.

I sat in the cafeteria in a daze, and I was tired of lying in my room counting stones these days, so I shifted my position and went to the dining hall to count stones. The method of counting stones is very simple, that is, divide the surrounding walls according to the texture of the rocks, and count how many stones can be divided. Because of the variety of textures, the number of counts is different every time, but I didn't expect it to be the only thing that I find interesting these days.

"One, two,...... Ten ......"

"Ding~"

"Huh, what's the situation?"

Suddenly, a neat and neat "ding~" resounded throughout the canteen, I turned my head to look at the machinery that served food in the canteen, it actually operated on its own! It stands to reason that the machinery in the canteen is fully automatic, and it is of course very normal to operate by itself. However, I had already eaten lunch just now, and there was still a long time before dinner, and if no one gave an order, it would not have eaten during this time period, so how could it operate on its own now? After less than five seconds, a freshly baked meal slipped to the pick-up port, and some time ago, this meal would certainly not have made me wonder, but wasn't it me alone today? Could it be Gu Chengzi? No, in his current state, he must ask me to give him an order and bring it to him again, whose meal is it?

"Did someone wake up?"

Yes, it must be because someone woke up, so the machinery in the canteen will make a meal and come out, not for me, not for Gu Chengzi, but for the person who woke up. For some reason, my mood became nervous and happy, who would be the first person to wake up?

"Ding~Ding~"

Just as I was wondering who would be the first to wake up, the machinery in the cafeteria began to get busy again, and in a few moments, one meal after another was made and slid steadily down to the pick-up gate, where they all waited for the person who picked up the food. My mood gradually changed from the original nervousness to excitement, hoping that the people who woke up could come to the cafeteria soon, and Lao Xu and Mo Qingyan would come back to relieve my boredom soon. Finally, the lonely days are over.

I hurried to the door of the cafeteria, excited to jump, who would be the first to wake up? Who is it? I stared at the distance of the passage with wide eyes, nervous and even secretly clenched my fists, not wanting to miss a moment of surprise! Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came slowly, I pursed my lips to hold my breath, stretched my ears, and listened carefully. Getting closer, clearer and clearer, who the hell is it? My heart was beating so fast that it was about to reach the top of my head, and my eyes widened. One foot came out of the bend, and then the other stepped over, his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and he walked unhurriedly. It turned out to be Mo Qingyan! He was the first to wake up!

"Ah! Mo Qingyan! It turned out to be you!

I raised my hands above my head, jumping and shouting excitedly, screaming like I was cheering for a champion. Looking at Mo Qingyan again, he looked like he had just woken up and was a little sleepy, and when he heard my sudden crazy cheer, he was so frightened that his eyes were about to pop out, and he could stuff an ostrich egg in his mouth, "Ah" screamed at the same time, his left foot was soft and his right foot slipped, and he fell on his back and faced the sky. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and I couldn't stop laughing when it started, and I couldn't stop laughing, as if I had vented all the frustration of these days in an instant.

"Little girl!!You're sick!You're scared to death, people are scared to death, don't you know it!My mom!I'm scared to death! My little heart!"

"Hahaha...... You...... You...... It's okay!hahaha......"

"It's okay, you ghost! Come and help me! My mother! I'm weak now!"

"Hahahaha...... Right away...... Hahaha......ha Just come!"

"You're still laughing! Laughing at your size!!"

I laughed and ran over to help Mo Qingyan up, but after he was frightened, his mouth was so broken that he couldn't do it, and he scolded me for why he was scared. I wanted to explain to him that I wasn't really scaring him, because I had no one with me all these days, and I was just overexcited when someone woke up. He didn't believe it, saying that I was deliberately trying to scare him, so scared that he was now numb in his hands and feet, and he had to be supported when he walked, like an old lady who couldn't be frightened. After I helped him to the cafeteria, I went to the pick-up counter and brought his share of food. Without saying a word, he began to eat, apparently too hungry from his sleep for so long.

"Who's next?"

"I don't know!" he angrily bowed his head and ate, unwilling to talk to me at all.

"Hey, just say what's next!"

"Why do you care about this! It's not enough to scare me, you have to scare others!"

"I said I didn't scare you, was it exciting, okay?

"Heers, come on, fortunately, my psychological quality is okay, I was so scared by you that I survived, and if I were someone else, I guess I would have to be rescued." "He thrust his fork into the meal indignantly and looked at me fiercely.

"You, your mental quality is okay, hahaha, did you see for yourself the way you just got on all fours? like a turtle! hahaha...... "I couldn't help laughing, and the thought of his gesture just now was embarrassing, but it was really funny.

"Hey, oh, oh! I warn you, don't talk nonsense! I'm a normal nervous reaction!" he put his hand over his ear, not wanting to hear me again.

"Hahahaha, I don't care if I'm nervous or not, you're just like a turtle!"

"You!!Little girl, I didn't expect it, you are so vicious! I Mo Qingyan underestimated you. ”

"Hmph~ You hit me, little turtle!"

"Tsk~hey, you think I can't cure you!"

Mo Qingyan angrily picked up his fork and made a gesture of stabbing me, threatening me that no one could say anything about today's affairs. Looking at Mo Qingyan's face arguing with me, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and in an instant, the dullness and troubles that had accumulated over the years were swept away in my mind, and a little sunshine finally regained in the base.

"Hey, who are you talking about the little turtle!" At this moment, Lao Xu walked into the cafeteria, and when I saw Lao Xu, I was even happier.

"Ah, Lao Xu, you've woken up too!"

"Hi, Xiaoqiong, hi, Mo Qingyan. ”

"Morning, old Xu. ”

"What's the matter, who do you say is the little turtle?" Lao Xu was curious about the conversation we had just had.

"Hahahaha, I'll tell you...... Well...... Hmmm......"

Mo Qingyan immediately reacted and threw down his dishes and chopsticks, quickly pressed my mouth with his hand, signaled that I must not speak, and threatened me to secretly drug me if I said it, so that my life would be worse than death, I nodded in defeat, and he let me go.

"What's wrong with you two? I'll go get some food first. Lao Xu looked at us speechlessly, although he wanted to know what was the matter with the little turtle, he still couldn't hold back his stomach craving for food.

"Shut up, little girl!"

"Slightly, little ~ black ~ turtle!"

"Tsk!"

"Ha, Mo Qingyan, how did you become a little turtle!"

"You don't care!"

Just when Mo Qingyan was still gritting his teeth and threatening me, Lao Xu had already sat down next to us with the food, picked up the chopsticks and put the food on the plate into his mouth, looking at the two of them gobbling up, not only sighed that the "lazy day" was not as good as I thought, I could sleep all the time, but fortunately, I was expected to be hungry when I woke up. The two of them ate their meals in the blink of an eye, and after a loud burp one after another, they both touched their stomachs and sighed as they looked at the clean plates. After a moment of rest, Lao Xu said.

"Alas~ full!"

"Have you eaten enough?" I think I can still eat?" Mo Qingyan looked at Lao Xu with an incredulous expression.

"No, Mo Qingyan, this nutritious meal is rich enough. ”

"Huh~ I don't know, I feel even hungrier after being tortured by someone!"

"Hah, what the hell are you two doing?" asked Lao Xu again.

"Hahahaha, guess!"

"Joan, I feel like you've been getting naughty lately. When Lao Xu saw that I didn't want to speak, he smiled evilly at me.

"Yes, let me tell you, this little girl's family is dark inside. ”

"Huh, I really want to hear what you're doing!"

"No!

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, okay. ”

"I don't understand you two. Joan, we ...... Understand. Lao Xu raised his eyebrows at me, I immediately understood what he meant, and when Mo Qingyan left, I would tell him.

"Haha, I see!"

"No, I think I can still eat. Think about it, we are dormant, we are simply in the valley!" Mo Qingyan touched his stomach and sighed.

"Stop, may I ask you a question? I'm curious, did you wake up naturally or hungry?"

......

......

"Old Mo, do you want to eat!

"Let's go!"

"Hey, you're going to answer me!"

Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu walked away in disgust, abandoning me in place, looking at the backs of the two of them, my heart was suddenly very warm, sure enough, we all need to rely on in life, even if we have the ability to live independently, but having friends to rely on will always make life full of surprises and colors. At this time, the cafeteria was already crowded, and a long queue began to form at the pick-up counter. After Jiang Man came to the cafeteria, the first thing he did was to rush into Lao Xu's arms, pouting and asking Lao Xu to kiss him, Lao Xu tried his best to resist but finally kissed her gently, the two of them simply didn't take us in their eyes at all, and fed us hard. Fu Hui didn't show up, and I was worried that she hadn't woken up yet, so I went over to ask Mo Qingyan.

"Mo Qingyan, Fu Hui she...... Haven't you woken up yet?"

"Captain, she's woken up. ”

"Then why didn't she come to get food?"

"She, she, she's the captain here, you want her to come over and squeeze people to get food with us, she doesn't want to lose face?"

"Oh, I didn't mean that, I was worried about her! ”

"Ouch, I didn't see you so kind just now!

"Hey, you're a big man, why are you holding such a grudge!"

"I just hold a grudge, and I still have to take a small notebook to remember!"

"Alas~ I'm sorry for you...... By the way, I have something very important to tell you. ”

"Huh, you're still serious, what's the matter?"

"Oh, what do you mean, what I want to tell you is very important, it is about Gu Chengzi. ”

"Gu Chengzi, he should be idle in the base these days. ”

"He's idle, but I'm not idle, I may have spent a lot of effort to take care of him, and I'm tired to death. ”

"Then tell me, what's wrong with him?"

"He's ...... in his body right now"

I briefly told Mo Qingyan about the fact that there were still two people in Gu Chengzi's body, at first, his eyes were full of doubts, but after thinking about it, he pulled Lao Xu, who was still queuing up to get food, and immediately rushed to Gu Chengzi's room. Not only that, but they also called a few staff members to move Gu Chengzi to a larger room, the room was full of a bunch of mechanical equipment, Mo Qingyan used a series of machinery to check him, and came to the conclusion that no physical and mental problems were found.

"Little girl, are you sure you really saw the other two?"

"I really met those two people, one is Ali and the other is Ahri. ”

"It's weird, the system shows that he doesn't have anything out of the ordinary. ”

Ahri and Ali said that they were taken out of their bodies by laziness and put into Gu Chengzi's body. ”

"Old Mo, could it be because the two of them are not in the city's body, so we can't detect it?"

"Hmm...... You can give it a try. Examination of substances outside the body. ”

After Mo Qingyan replaced the machine with a chip, he restarted the inspection, and this time the inspection was more in-depth and took longer than the last time. After waiting for a long, long time, the results of the inspection were transmitted, and Mo Qingyan carefully read the test results over and over again. Eventually, he slumped in his chair and shook his head over and over again talking to himself, saying "impossible" or "unbelievable." At this time, Fleur knocked on the door and entered, and she hurriedly walked to our side and said to Mo Qingyan.

"Just heard the news, how is he?"

"Sister Fleur...... You...... Come on. ”

"Hmm. Mo Qingyan, how is it?" Fu Hui nodded to me briefly and asked Mo Qingyan anxiously.

"Captain, what do you say about the situation we are facing now......?

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold it back. ”

"That's it...... It's a bit tricky......"
