Chapter XXVII: The Invisible Tenant V
“......”
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, wondering how this curious style of painting and the smile that looked a little fresh were so incompatible. Coupled with the strange atmosphere in this room and a big eyeball, and staring directly at himself, I don't know how to speak. Ask you directly, are you a human being, is it not very polite, what if people get angry and grab a liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, kidneys or something.
But thinking about it, Chen Xiao still tried his best not to be cold, he thought about it again and again, and said a very ordinary, practical and polite opening remark.
"Hello! My name is Chen Xiao. ”
The girl changed her posture, and while looking at him, she continued to draw quickly with a pen on the table, Chen Xiao glanced at it, and found that there was a thick pile of paper on the table, and each one was painted with various magic circles.
"Hello, I'm not used to names - you can call me Angel."
"Oh, I'm glad I will!" Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, but roared in his heart: "What is this, what the hell is an angel?" Even if there are really angels, but this guy's image is not related to angels at all. ”
The "angel" sister looked at Chen Xiao, scratched her cheek with her idle hand, and looked distressed: "Ah, I also know that I don't look like an angel now, and I don't know how long this body can last, but ....... Please don't worry about it. ”
When she said these words, the "angel" sister looked calm, as if she was talking to Chen Xiao wholeheartedly, but her hand holding the pen was still drawing on the paper at a very fast hand speed.
Chen Xiao continued to smile and responded, "Oh, I see." ”
As he said this, he thought to himself, "How can I not care, and after you say the words "this body", I can't stop thinking...... At last! How do you sound like you can see what I'm thinking? ”
The "angel" sister nodded: "Well, but I can only see a little bit, if it is too complicated thinking, it will be very draining." ”
......
......
There was silence
"How long have you been here?" Chen Xiao asked, but she didn't say this sentence, but thought silently in her heart?
The girl frowned: "I can't remember, but it should be a long time." ”
Chen Xiao gradually withdrew the smile on his face, his expression was extremely serious at this moment, and even a little cold, even in the face of Mr. Zou's execution at that time, Chen Xiao never showed such a demeanor.
Thinking is a person's most secret place, because it is a territory that others can't reach, and it is also Chen Xiao's biggest reliance in the face of danger, so when a person with the ability to "read minds" stands in front of Chen Xiao, whether this person is friendly or not, it is an extremely dangerous existence for himself.
Seeing that Chen Xiao stopped talking, the "angel" sister suddenly seemed a little overwhelmed, she obviously knew Chen Xiao's thoughts.
"Ahh......h I'm sorry, it's a bad habit, but I can try to control it. ”
Chen Xiao continued to stare at her expressionlessly, joking, you say control is controlled, how can you believe you in this situation.
First of all, it's easy to guess that this cabin is a closed and independent space, and this girl who calls herself "Angel" must be imprisoned here, and she is also trying to research something similar to a magic circle, trying to escape. It's just that it's not quite successful yet.
So, what is the "angel" in her mouth, is it an angel in a religious story, or is it something else, if she is really an "angel", why is she imprisoned here, since she can pull herself in, but she can't get out, although this place similar to a "cabin" looks simple, it is obviously not built casually, so what created such a "prison cell", why imprisoned this "angel", the most important question...... What the hell is this guy trying to do when he pulls me in?
Chen Xiao has a lot of questions, usually at this time, he will be very accustomed to collecting information and then analyzing it, but at this moment, he didn't, and even he gave up superfluous thinking, and entered a thinking mode that only receives but does not process in depth, similar to "in a daze".
......
......
Since the other party can read people's thoughts, Chen Xiao doesn't have to hide it anymore.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked directly.
The "angel" sister had a sudden expression, as if to say, "How did you forget the business?" ”
"I want you to help me!" She said, then added, "Help me out!" ”
Chen Xiao nodded, sure enough.
"Why are you looking for me?" He asked again.
The girl also looked like she obviously knew what he was going to ask, and replied as she continued to draw: "I didn't look for you on purpose, you also know, the circle below me is connected to your world, and just now it happened to find that you seem to be able to be pulled in, so it pulled you in......"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the "eyeball king": "Uh...... Can I be pulled in? Does that mean that not all people can be pulled into this place? And what do you mean, that is, in fact, the "ghost" who was wandering around in that circle before and talking to me with pen and paper is actually this big eye? ”
The girl had a "of course it" expression, and looked at the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and lungs hanging around her, and said, "I haven't been out of this room for a long time." ”
Chen Xiao nodded thoughtfully, in fact, when he first saw the appearance of the "Angel" girl, he felt that it was a little unrealistic for her to carry these bottles and cans to the magic circle in the basement, but he never thought that the person who was talking to him would be the "Eyeball King", because there was a question.
"It'...... How do you write? Chen Xiao asked cautiously.
"Huh? That's how it is written! The girl had an expression of "you still ask", and glanced at the "eyeball king", and it seemed to understand the girl's meaning.
After that, it sat on the ground with a "poof" and a "buttocks", and used the two "hands" below to pose with a paper in one hand and a pen in the other.
......
......
Chen Xiao looked pained, and opened his mouth slightly: "Damn, there is still this kind of operation?" ”
When the girl saw Chen Xiao's expression, she seemed to think it was very interesting, and she pursed her lips and smiled.
Honestly, it's pretty good.
Chen Xiao calmed down his mood, he felt that no matter how strange things happened next, he could accept them.
"So, what about the people you pulled in before? Didn't they help you? ”。
"Actually, there aren't many people who can pull in, and the last person was very flustered after coming here, and I couldn't communicate well at all, and it just so happened that my health was not very good at that time, so I ...... Just use it! ”
"Angel" sister said, gesturing to her body and glaring at her "innocent" big eyes, as if she was saying something very ordinary.
Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced at the simple set of surgical equipment and bottles and cans on the shelf, the sweat came down, and fortunately, he was very polite, otherwise he might be set up by this cute little sister and become the next spare body!!
Regardless of whether she is reading my mind or not, try to make my expression look natural.
"Uh...... What kind of person can be pulled into here? Chen Xiao asked.
The "angel" sister thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Probably people who are not closely connected to the world they are in can be pulled in. ”
Chen Xiao frowned...... "Not well-linked? ”
"Hmmm! I don't understand, it's just that there are a lot of things that don't really fit that well with his world, and these things are generally weird. For example, some of you are "psychic", and some of you will always feel that you have seen this scene in front of you, and there are ...... Wow wow wow...... Something like that. Sister Angel tried to explain, but in the end she found that the more she explained, the more confusing it became.
Chen Xiao frowned, and didn't care about the girl's increasingly clumsy explanation: "So, I'm also a person who doesn't fit in with the world?" Something is wrong with me? ”
The "angel" sister hesitated for a moment and pointed to her head: "Uh...... The problem should be here! ”
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Chen Xiao looked at her like she had been doing terrible things, but she had always maintained the behavior of a little girl, and she wanted to spit out frantically, but she still held back.
"So, how can I help you?" He asked.
When the "angel" sister heard this question, she immediately turned around and flipped through the pages on her desk, and the drawing papers were pulled all over the ground, and after that, she finally turned out one of the pieces of paper with strange formations and handed it to Chen Xiao: "You put some with your world...... Belch...... That's what I just said.,Links to items that are not strictly forbidden to bring me well.。 ”
"Anomalous objects?" Chen Xiao interjected.
"Yes, yes!! That's what it means! The girl's face was full of adoration, with a "Wow, you're awesome" expression: "Just put them on this picture." ”
Chen Xiao glanced down and found that this formation was the same as the one in the basement.
"Hmm......" Chen Xiao snorted, but he couldn't hear what it meant.
In fact, from the beginning to the present, it has always been this little sister who calls herself "Angel" talking to herself, because whether what she said is true or not, Chen Xiao can't verify it, and if the other party really has the ability to "read thinking", then Chen Xiao can't observe and analyze this "angel" sister, because doing so will only increase the bargaining chips for the other party to confuse his eyes, so at this time, his thinking has to follow the other party's words. But Chen Xiao still kept trying not to think about it, recording every action, every word, and every demeanor of the other party, and even in the process of this conversation, he always looked at the "eyeball king" who was clubbing on the side when he was idle.
However, in this form of "low thinking", Chen Xiao still clearly felt that this person was lying to himself.
The "angel" sister obviously knew what Chen Xiao was hesitating, so she said in a lovely voice: "Actually, you don't have to think too much, even if I say that I am imprisoned here by the devil, I am really a beautiful and kind angel, you will not believe it, and even you have a deep skepticism about the words "angel" and "demon" themselves, right." ”
She said, and smiled again.
Chen Xiao didn't answer, because he didn't speculate about what was hidden behind the smile.
"You're smart, so I think you can help me, and that's why you're still here." The girl still kept smiling and continued: "Among the knowledge I am studying now, there is a very basic theory called "equivalent exchange", so your efforts will be rewarded, and I didn't lie to you. ”
Chen Xiao was still expressionless, and even he was just listening at this moment, and subconsciously even stopped thinking.
The "angel" sister froze for a moment, and then seemed to be very happy all of a sudden.
"You're smarter than I thought!" She continued to say happily in a girlish tone: "Okay, it seems that it is time for you to go back, think about it, whether it is a friend or an enemy, the choice is yours." ”
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes again, and the corners of her mouth went up, which was the expression Chen Xiao showed when she saw her for the first time.
And...... Same.
It's like a special painting for others to see.
At this time, Chen Xiao realized why she was squinting her eyes in this smile.
She ...... Are you really laughing? Chen Xiao couldn't help but have an idea.
Immediately afterward, there was a dizzy feeling, and a layer of fog seemed to be covered in my vision.
......
......
