Chapter 190: The Final Chapter
βti-tok...... ti-tok......β
Listening to the familiar sound of the pendulum bell, I opened my eyes in a daze. I took a deep breath, and it was a very familiar smell.
The golden sunlight shines through the frosted windows, sprinkling every corner of the room, making it particularly quiet and pleasant. The scabbard at the head of the bed was bathed in sunlight, and the demon was still snoring and falling asleep.
I struggled to roll over, only to realize that I had a strong steel plate tied around my waist. It took a lot of effort for me to sit on the bed and look at everything in the room.
They all seem familiar, and at the same time they seem strange.
Finally, my eyes fell on the pendulum clock on the wall. After staring at it for a while, I was suddenly shocked.
This room is ......
I quickly slid out of bed and ran barefoot to the door. But then the mirror next to the door caught my attention again, and I listened to the door, looking directly at the person in the mirror.
Her eyes were bright, her face was ruddy and clean, her hair was smooth and shiny, she was wearing a new set of clothes, and everything seemed so good.
The person in the mirror, is it still me?
I took a deep breath and pushed the door open, and it was still the familiar hallway outside. I crept to the top of the stairs and heard the sound of stir-frying coming from downstairs.
I nervously and cautiously descended the stairs, the sound of the spatula slamming louder and louder. The smell of food filled the room, and I just smelled it lightly, and my stomach was so hungry that I "gurgled" again.
But when I got to the corner in front of the kitchen door, I stopped. Listening to the regular sound of stir-frying, I was nervous and confused.
This is Lao Xu's home, have they completed the return of consciousness, Lao Xu has returned?
When I thought about it, I suddenly became very excited again. I almost jumped into the kitchen, but when I saw that the person inside was not as tall as I expected, and had long hair with a shawl, I was stunned for a moment.
Hearing the movement behind her, she hurriedly put down the pot and slowly turned around.
"Qiu Qiong, you are awake. β
"Jiang Man! It's you!"
Although she is not Lao Xu, I still can't express my excitement to see her here, and there is not a single piece of machinery on her body. I lunged at her and gave her a big hug.
"Well, don't be so excited. I've made you lunch, and you'll be able to eat it later. β
"Wait, you guys?"
I looked at her very puzzled, could there be anyone else here besides me and her?
Just then, there was a knock on the door behind us. I jerked my head back and saw a man leaning back against the door, in a very dashing pose. On the whole, it was quite good, but only his hands were very abrupt, and he was actually carrying a pair of slippers.
"Xiao Qiong, it's easy to catch a cold with bare feet, so you better put on your slippers. β
"Old Xu ......"
"Ouch, these two little eyes are teaning, what's the matter?"
Still not serious, he shook the slippers off his hand and threw them at my feet. But I don't care what shoes I wear, so I ran in front of him without saying a word. As he was about to embrace him with his arms outstretched, he stooped down alertly and took two steps back.
Don't come here, you haven't taken a shower in a few days!"
"Nonsense, I've already wiped her body. Jiang Man said indignantly.
When Lao Xu heard this, he immediately didn't dare to retreat, and he stood still and was hugged by me. He touched my head with one hand and said very gently.
"Thank you, Joan. β
I couldn't help but cry, the kind that cried so much that I forgot myself. Until his clothes were soaked, he didn't either
Stop me. He just quietly let me release all my tears at once.
When I was tired of crying, he raised his hand to help me and put me on the seat of the dining table.
"Look, this looks like our hero. He said with a look of disgust.
"Who wants to be a big hero......"
At this time, Jiang Man had already brought out the food. The two of them sat across from me, staring at me with wide eyes and blank eyes, as if waiting for me to eat first. I picked up my chopsticks, picked up a large piece of meat, and stuffed it into my mouth without any reserve.
"Good times!"
"Ouch, this pig is starving. Lao Xu said with a smile.
"Shanshan, you can't say that about girls. Jiang Man slapped Lao Xu's arm with a palm.
"Oh, where are the girls?"
I rolled his eyes, and for the sake of such a delicious meal, I didn't bother with him.
After eating and drinking, I finally had the strength to organize my thoughts.
"Old Xu, Jiang Man, what the hell is going on?What happened to diligence and laziness?Are the townspeople back?"
The two of them put down their chopsticks at the same time and looked at each other for a long time. In the end, it was Jiang Man who turned around first, she looked at me and sighed, and explained to me unhurriedly.
"After you passed out, we sent the ring and the tears of laziness in your hand to Mia, according to the intention of diligence. I have to say that the situation under the ground really scared me. After Akeliang sent the people back from the town, Mia activated the consciousness reflux process, transferring everyone's consciousness back into their bodies. But something bad happened again. β
"What's the matter?" I asked nervously.
"Maybe it's because they've been in the shell of an android for too long. When I returned to the real body, I was repulsed by consciousness and **. Some people survived, while others didn't. β
"What's going on? What about the people who don't?"
The explanation of the two of them is that the consciousness of those people has undergone some irreversible changes in order to adapt to the body structure of the androids. So much so that when I return to the structure of the human body, I become all kinds of uncomfortable. Mo Qingyan couldn't do anything about it, so he could only let them put it back on the body of the android. And in order to avoid memory confusion, they still lie in the healing room to repair it. β
"That'...... Where's Fleur? She's ......."
"Sister Fleur, she's fine. It didn't take long for her consciousness to shift, so when she returned to her body, she didn't feel uncomfortable. β
"That's good, that's good. I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed unconsciously.
"Xiao Qiong, you are not righteous!" Lao Xu pouted and said, "It's been so long, and you don't ask me how I came back!"
"I don't really want to know, so why ask. You beg me, and I may be merciful to ask. β
"Xiao Qiong, you really have no conscience. β
Jiang Man saw us arguing here, and a very relieved smile appeared on his face. She knew that I didn't want to know, but I still kept thinking about it. So she hurriedly stopped us and continued to explain to me.
"Shanshan, we couldn't find him at that time. I searched the entire building, but there was no sign of him. Do you know where we found him in the end?"
"Oh, Vine, don't tell her!"
"Where?"
"It turns out that he was locked in a dungeon alone by laziness, and no one cared about him, and he became a bad old man. When we found him, we thought he was a madman who was lazy and picked up on the road. β
"Haha! Lao Xu, you have no image!"
"Oh, Manman, you have to say it. β
With this
The laughter was not until it was a little dark, and the lunch finally came to an end.
Lao Xu cleaned up the dishes by himself and put them into the intelligent cleaning robot. Then he pulled out a half-man's tall suitcase from the utility room and handed it to me.
I looked at the huge suitcase and was stunned for a moment. Seeing that I was so sluggish, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said in a very hurried tone.
"You take this suitcase up and pack some clothes. By the way, Aunt Xue brought you a lot of clothes a few days ago, you can see which one you want and bring it. There are also daily necessities prepared for you upstairs, and you'd better bring them all, otherwise it won't be good if you lack anything at that time. β
"Lao Xu, what is this for?"
"Oh, you don't know yet, do you. β
"What do I know?! I just woke up. β
"That's right. That's what happened...... It is...... Xiaonuo is almost out of milk powder to drink. β
"Oh, he's okay now!"
"Of course he's good, there are a bunch of people around him, and Aunt Xue still likes him very much, so she will quickly make him a little emperor!"
"It's not good, you can't make him too squeamish. I said worriedly.
"Xiao Qiong, you can rest assured. I think that kid can endure hardships better than you. Recently, he has been following the diligence and laziness to learn how to build machinery!"
"No, he's interested in machinery!" For a moment, I didn't know if I was happy or disappointed.
Lao Xu was about to walk up the stairs with his suitcase in one hand. And just as he took a step, he froze again, then frowned, and said helplessly.
"When I look at him, it's like I see a second city. β
"Gu Chengzi......" I was stunned, "Where is he now?
With that, as soon as I turned around, I spread my steps and ran to the door. Lao Xu seemed to expect me to do this, and just as I was about to open the door, he shouted to stop me.
"No need to look for him!"
I stopped and looked at Lao Xu for some reason. At this time, I saw him put down the suitcase in his hand and said with a sad face.
"Since his body was healed, it was as if the world had evaporated, and no one could find him. β
"What about Ali and Ahri's family?"
"I searched for him, but I found no trace of him. β
"Why did he disappear?"
"Who knows, it's so abnormal. He also took away his own heart-warming bell, and even the captain was powerless. β
"Gu Chengzi...... What the hell is wrong with you?" I wondered.
At this time, Jiang Man walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder with one hand, and she whispered to me.
"Qiu Qiong, you don't have to worry too much about him. He can take care of himself, and he has Ali Ahri inside him, and they won't let him be fine. β
"Okay. β
I'm still a little worried, but since they can't do anything, I can't help much. I just hope that he is safe and sound, and nothing happens.
Unconsciously, I walked up to Lao Xu again, grabbed the handle of the suitcase with one hand and walked upstairs. But halfway through, I realized that there was still a very important problem that had not been solved.
"Lao Xu, where are you going after packing your luggage?"
"Buy milk powder for Xiaonuo!"
"I know, I mean, where to buy?"
"Wherever there's something to sell around here, just go there and buy it. β
I pondered it for a moment, and then suddenly gasped.
"Are you supposed to be...... I'm going to go to Greed and buy it!"
"Yes, Joan, that's right. β
