Chapter 20: Close Maneuver (2)
The round ball in An Xiaoyu's hand is barely a communication terminal with more functions, and it is connected to the Internet, and it can search for a lot of things that An Xiaoyu didn't know before, she tried to search a lot, of course, the first entry is "goat".
As the most authoritative official certified encyclopedia of the Three Thousand Empire, "Three Thousand Dictionaries" records almost all the information about goats, An Xiaoyu watched it carefully for a long time, and kept seeing that his eyes were sour, from the current situation of goats to their origins, from characteristics to breeding, as well as some hybrid methods, and even many videos, but still did not find anything similar to Chi Mo.
Why do people call him a goat?
She couldn't resist typing "silent" into the search bar. The information given by the three thousand dictionaries is not very much, and it is similar to what Guan Jue mentioned, except for the date of birth and academic qualifications, the life experience seems to have been deliberately deleted partially, and there is no continuous and complete thing.
And all this ambiguity started from the incident when Chi Mo was a freshman, three thousand dictionaries record that Chi Mo was involved in a very bad treason incident, the incident happened very suddenly, the verdict was very fast, and the matter was exposed for less than a week, Chi Mo was convicted, abolished the meridians, and never had anything to do with the mecha.
The next thing is only a few dry achievements and award records, until Chi Mo became a second lieutenant and was sent to the Eastern Desert, and he didn't even write down which base it was, even if An Xiaoyu didn't know the dark inside story of the power dump, he also knew that Chi Mo was excluded from all the factions of the Three Thousand Empire.
What is it that makes Chi Mo a person who doesn't love his father and mother? An Xiaoyu searched on the Internet many times, but never found any other information, and finally had to give up.
She made up her mind that next time she must ask Chi Mo how the nickname "goat" came from, maybe after she knew, she would be able to roughly figure out what happened to Chi Mo when she was in college, because Guan Jue and Chi Mo's evasion made her feel that there was something hidden in this nickname.
But she didn't expect that he hadn't been here since the last time he left silently. An Xiaoyu knew that there were a lot of things in the base that needed to be dealt with by Chi Mo, and maybe there was some troublesome work that made him have no time to separate, which was also understandable, so when she went to the cafeteria to eat, she often went very early, ate very slowly, and left the latest, just to not disturb Chi Mo's work, and look at him from a distance.
To An Xiaoyu's disappointment, Chi Mo didn't go to the cafeteria, and An Xiaoyu began to feel lost.
While looking for Chi Mo, she discovers a lot of strange things.
For example, there are some unfamiliar faces in the base, not only are they not wearing uniforms, but they also have no jobs, their expressions are very arrogant, and the people in the base look arrogant, and occasionally see An Xiaoyu as if they have seen a ghost.
For example, after the search and rescue work ended, the atmosphere in the base began to be inexplicably tense, An Xiaoyu didn't know if this atmosphere was related to those unfamiliar faces, and she didn't know if Chi Mo couldn't do without his job because of this, but he just had a premonition that something terrible was brewing in the base.
For example, at the same time as Chi Mo disappeared, Bai Amaranth and Guan Jue also disappeared, I don't know where they went, she really wanted to find Chu Sui, and the four of them "Harrier Eagle", but they didn't find it, as if all the people she knew disappeared overnight.
So she can only stay in the dormitory converted from the ward all day, read books when she is bored, and open the terminal to search for something she doesn't understand, but she has gained a lot of knowledge. Sometimes she wants to try out the contact information of the terminal and try to send some messages to someone, but she doesn't know who to send or what to send, so she has to give up.
Looking at the dates on the calendar, counting how long he had been at the base, and how many days were left before school started, he thought of the people at home, Ni Yu, Chi Mo and the three of them, and Chu Sui, who was so bored that he was often in a daze.
In the end, the base even began to restrict An Xiaoyu's entry and exit, the door card in her hand couldn't even open the hatch at the end of the corridor outside her dormitory, someone was responsible for delivering food every day, and the people were different every day, and she didn't know her.
An Xiaoyu began to realize that something terrible had happened in the base, and this matter might involve Chi Mo, Guan Jue, and Bai Amaranth, and may involve herself in the future. Is locking yourself in this room a sign of silence or someone else's command? She thought.
As the days passed, An Xiaoyu tried to inquire about the silence from the soldiers who delivered the meal, but these people just looked at her, never spoke, put down the lunch box and left. This made An Xiaoyu wonder if something had happened to Chi Mo.
Worried, cranky, determined and overturned, this is An Xiaoyu's life, except for her own blind thoughts, there is nothing else to do, these dry days also make her feel how important Chimo has become to her, from waking up in the morning to insomnia at night, her mind is full of his shadow, making her bitter and sweet.
Suddenly, one night, it was already half past eleven in the evening, she didn't fall asleep as usual, holding the terminal to watch the online drama on the Internet, and the door was suddenly knocked, which scared her a lot. She hurriedly shouted "close" and stuffed the terminal into her backpack, walked to the door and asked, "Who?" ”
There was silence outside the door for a long time, and An Xiaoyu thought that someone had made a mistake, when a tired voice came from the other side of the door: "Xiaoyu, it's me." ”
It's silence!
He's coming? An Xiaoyu opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Chi Mo standing outside the door, the corridor light shining on his face, and his fair face showed a tired look, he must be very tired and tired these days, and he has to take time to come to see me at such a late hour. The thoughts, grievances, and sadness of these days all poured out in an instant, and she threw herself into Chi Mo's arms and sobbed: "I miss you so much!" ”
Chi Mo was shaken by her, obviously his body was also exhausted, he reached out and touched An Xiaoyu's head, and said softly: "I miss you too!" ”
In the corridor, only the sound of electricity in the corridor lamp in disrepair and An Xiaoyu's whispering cry remained, the two of them were tightly attached to each other, as if they were growing together, reluctant to separate, I don't know how much time passed, Chi Mo suddenly stretched out his hand to hold An Xiaoyu's shoulder, pulled her out of his embrace, and lowered his head to look at her eyes.
"Xiaoyu, listen to me, there's no time now, you have to get out of here, you know?"
An Xiaoyu was still immersed in the joy of the reunion, her mind was a little dead, and when she heard him say that she was leaving here, she looked confused: "Ah? Why? What about you? ”
"I'm with you, whispering, obedient, something happened in the base, I don't want you to be affected, I'm going to take you to a safer place."
An Xiaoyu knew what was going on in the base, no matter what happened, she couldn't do anything about it, so she didn't think about it, nodded and said, "Well, listen to you!" ”
Chi Mo breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head: "Go and clean up your things, don't leave anything behind." ”
"Hmm!"
An Xiaoyu turned around and entered the house, changed her pajamas, put her things in her backpack, and was ready in less than five minutes, when she opened the door, she saw Chi Mo leaning against the wall and closing her eyes, and she opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the door opening.
She was a little distressed and asked, "I'm tired." ”
Chi Mo smiled and shook his head: "Don't be tired, let's go." ”
The two of them left along the corridor, Chi Mo's pace was a little fast, not taking care of An Xiaoyu's short legs like usual, making her very tired, but she didn't say, just didn't speak and followed him, the corridor was a little cold, but she soon saw sweat on her forehead, and she was not in the mood to see where she had walked.
What made her very strange was that there was no one in the corridor, and the two of them walked forward for a long time, and they didn't see the third person. Just as she was thinking this, a person suddenly flashed out of the corner in front of her and stood in front of them, startling her.
If you look closely, it's actually white amaranth.
Although Bai Amaranth and Chi Mo don't deal with each other very well, they are also people she knows, and they haven't seen each other for many days, An Xiaoyu was still a little surprised to see her, so she wanted to go up to say hello, but when she looked up, she found that Bai Amaranth's expression was a little wrong.
Bai Amaranth walked over to block Chi Mo's footsteps, without looking at An Xiaoyu, she looked at Chi Mo coldly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”
Chi Mo didn't speak, just looked at her. An Xiaoyu looked at Bai Amaranth, then at Chi Mo, and saw that the two of them stopped talking, staring at each other, not knowing what happened, should she say a few words in the circle?
She thought about it and thought about it, and finally decided to break this embarrassing atmosphere, but just about to speak, she heard Bai Amaranth say again: "You have to think about it, I can't stop you, it doesn't mean that others can't, what's more..."
As she spoke, she glanced down at An Xiaoyu, and stopped talking: "In short, you'd better... You know. ”
Chi Mo stretched out his hand and touched An Xiaoyu's little head, and said with a smile: "I won't regret it, and besides, I can't go back." ”
Bai Amaranth stared at Chi Mo for a long time, then glanced at An Xiaoyu again, and dropped a sentence: "You are so self-conscious." He turned around and walked away.
The hallway was empty, as if nothing had happened.
An Xiaoyu asked with some concern: "Is it serious?" ”
Chi Mo looked at the other end of the corridor, not knowing what he was thinking, hearing her ask, he lowered his head and smiled: "It's okay." ”
An Xiaoyu nodded, and continued to walk forward with Chi Mo, her steps becoming more compact.
In the end, the two people arrived at an obviously very remote corner, there was a corner, there was only a door at the end, and it was not indicated what room it was, Chi Mo took out a door card and swiped the door, only then did he look down at An Xiaoyu and found that she was a little panting, so he reached out to help her wipe her sweat, and apologized: "I'm too anxious." ”
An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's okay, where is this?" ”
Chi Mo took her into the door, and after entering, he found that there was another corridor: "This is an emergency lot reserved during the construction of the base, isolated from the outside, no one will find here"
There were people walking around in the hallway, holding electronic notepads in their hands, or holding some boxes and tools, coming out of the open door and into another door, as if they were doing some terrible work, or something related to the "no turning back" thing that was silently said.
Chi Mo placed her in a spare room, the room was at the end of the corridor, and there were several rooms with closed doors next to it, I don't know what to do, the tension revealed in the entire corridor made An Xiaoyu a little nervous, she pulled Chi Mo's sleeve: "When will you come over next?" ”
Chi Mo was about to leave, when she heard her ask, she suddenly turned around and hugged her in her arms, hugging her tightly, making her feel the reluctance in it, and she felt even more that Chi Mo left this time, what might have happened, and she would never see him again.
But he said, "Soon, I'll be coming to see you soon!" ”
Looking at the back of Chi Mo leaving, An Xiaoyu still didn't say anything after all, reached out and pressed her heart tightly, and closed the door.
