Chapter Thirty-Eight: A First Glimpse of Cause and Effect
The wind and snow outside the window were slow, Cha Cha was sleepy, who did he care about kissing his son, wrapped in a warm quilt, and fell asleep sweetly with a pillow.
She had a dream, and she saw the bright and gorgeous place called 404.
Cha Cha lay under the shadowless lamp, her whole body fixed with bandages. The guys in white coats around were busy, but they didn't make a sound. Their faces are covered by masks, they can't see their expressions, the frames reflect white light, and they are cold to the point of reason. The cold machinery silently probed into her body, first in her limbs, then in her chest, and finally as if a lot of slender needles were stirring in her head.
The body is a little cold, but I don't feel pain, and the foreign body gnaws and rubs in the brain, and it is extremely uncomfortable. Instruments flickered in the distance, needles stimulating different areas of her brain. Someone with a walkie-talkie eagerly repeats words they don't understand. Two teams of uniformed SWAT officers rushed in from the outside in an orderly manner.
Cha Cha's eyelids sank. He kicked his right leg twice and woke up from his sleep.
The quilt that was originally wrapped around her body was kicked to the end of the bed by her. The pillow is cool on its own. It's this dream again, but with more details than ever. In her dreams, she could see the waveforms bouncing on some of the instruments. The lines on the gray and black screen have a small amplitude, but the frequency of the vibration is much more than 40 Hz, which should be her brain waves. Probably because of extreme stress, the frequency of the β wave is much higher than normal.
The smell of rice came from downstairs, and Cha Cha got up and got out of bed. Ah Xue and Su Mingyan were discussing something softly, their eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, very warm.
"Morning!" Ah Xue greeted Cha Cha warmly.
"Early." Cha Cha is still immersed in nightmares. The sharp foreign body feeling is too real, and the mind is a little trance-like.
"The driver has already arrived at the toll booth, and we will go over after eating." Su Mingyan explained simply. He's already starting to serve the meal.
"I'm really going to go." It was surprisingly cold outside, and Cha Cha didn't want to move. Last night was nothing more than a moment of breath.
"Then I'll follow." Xue said.
While washing the dishes, Ah Xue came in to find Cha Cha and told her that Su Mingyan had promised to take them back to the imperial capital by hitchhiking. Let Cha Cha wait for the opportunity to act.
After breakfast, the rain and snow outside had stopped, the sky was clear, and the golden dawn was faintly revealed in the clouds. The material of the clothes can absorb heat well, and the sun shines on the body, warm.
The three of them walked in the middle of the mountain road, casting long shadows in the dry grass one after the other. Unknown flowers on the side of the road swayed in the wind. Cha Cha excused himself for forgetting to bring something, so he went back the way he came to put away Xingcha.
I don't know if it's because of the excessive heat generated by exercise, or because the temperature of the environment is gradually rising, and crystal beads of sweat appear on Cha Cha's forehead. After walking a distance, I felt that only the boundaries around the snow-capped mountains felt cold. The shape of the top of the mountain at the moment is like a kappa's bald brain, the mountain wind is whining, the light changes brightly and darkly, and from a distance, it gives birth to a strange feeling.
Most of it was Su Mingyan's Heavenly Master attribute that gave him an illusion. Thinking like this, Cha Cha continued to walk forward.
More and more small bungalows appear in view, and Cha Cha they reach the edge of the road.
I haven't seen the architectural style of my hometown for a long time, and Xuecha and the two feel very cordial. The pungent smell of asphalt and the scent of weeds, and the excitement and nostalgia in their eyes, this is their world, even if there is no magic blessing, it will still be the most familiar and favorite place for them to survive. A few minutes later, a black sedan pulled up in front of them. The driver, dressed in a black suit, got out of the car.
"Master, what is this?" The driver stared at Cha Cha with a strange expression. Even forgetting to change his words in front of strangers.
"Touched at the foot of the mountain. Spent the night at their house. Su Mingyan opened the car door without caring and invited the two of them to get into the car, "Just about to go back to the imperial capital, let's give them a ride." ”
"Understood."
The town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is a six-hour drive from the imperial capital. The driver's hands were firmly on the steering wheel, and the car drove at high speed like black lightning. On both sides of the viaduct, high and low buildings gather together in clusters, and a few white scratches cross the blue sky, and the breath of the city is blowing in the face.
Cha Cha rolled down the window and counted the motor vehicles of different colors and types speeding by. The hot air balloons here are being lit into the air causing a burst of cheers, and the speedboats on the other side are running wildly on the water, startling a circle of birds, and even the smoke billowing from the chimneys is full of fragrance. The leisurely guqin music swirled in the car, and Cha Cha's thoughts began to empty.
Passing through the service area in the middle, several people got off the bus to rest. In order to express his gratitude, Su Mingyan invited the two of them to lunch. Deluxe chicken leg burger set, both of them haven't eaten it for a long time. Even junk food, which is high in calories, is eaten with relish. Authentic Coke, Chacha no longer have to drink Gudong to quench your cravings. The driver stood silently aside, his body straight, and his eyes were aimed at Cha Cha from time to time.
Cha Cha can't help but feel hair from the bottom of my heart. The driver in the black suit was an old ghost named Ghost One who followed Su Mingyan. It has always exuded a terrifying atmosphere that no one can approach. It's just a matter of sitting in the same car, and when I get out of the car, I am stared at by this creature that can't even breathe. "I've never seen a beautiful woman."
The ghosts were stunned one by one, looked at Su Mingyan, and stopped talking.
"Did you see something, sir?" Xue asked. Of course, she knew that the ghost was not a bold gesture when she was entangled in Chacha and eating. He has thousands of years of cultivation and can easily see through people's souls. What's more, her own son slapped a talisman on Cha Cha when he entered the door yesterday.
Su Mingyan slowly poured down the entire bottle of iced tea, and then motioned to the ghost to explain. In fact, he is also hesitating, but this old ghost doesn't talk about it now, and I'm afraid he will be chattering endlessly when he goes back at night.
"This girl has three souls and seven souls, and it is a miracle that she is alive." Oniichi spoke slowly, carefully considering the wording, "There are holes all over the body, and there is no whole. The old man had never seen such a tattered soul that could barely be put together. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cha Cha's voice was an octave higher, "You're in tatters, your whole family is in tatters, and this girl is very healthy." "If it weren't for Coke's sake, she would have almost gone up to the fight.
"Cha Cha's physical fitness is much better than mine." Ah Xue grabbed Cha Cha, who was about to have a seizure, and asked suspiciously, "If her spirit body is damaged, then I'm afraid I won't have eyes?" ”
"Compared to Cha Cha, you are already very healthy." Su Mingyan replied for the ghost, "There is a missing part of your memory. But it's all right. You still have the Divine Protector on you, and most of the calamities will stay away. ”
Ah Xue shook her head unconsciously, although Su Mingyan is the hero of her novel, that novel only exists in the brain hole, and it is still pitted. Cha Cha can jump, run, and climb trees, but she is weak and sickly, especially when it rains, she has a headache and wants to hit the wall, her soul is healthier than Cha Cha, she is a little suspicious. Xiao Su said that memory loss, everyone has more or less, but there doesn't seem to be any major accidents since childhood.
But Su Mingyan's ability, she couldn't be clearer. The god in his mouth should be her Bai Ze Beast. Could it be that Cha Cha was damaged because of the exchange of souls with idols?
"As for Cha Cha," Su Mingyan frowned, "Ghost One's words are already very light. She is only one line away from her soul. If she couldn't breathe, I'd believe her if she was a ghost. ”
"Your uncle!" Cha Cha finally couldn't help but explode, and her lungs were about to explode, "I'm a big living person, how can I become a ghost?!" ”
"I'm telling the truth." Su Mingyan still said in a tone that was not salty, "The light of the fetus is dim and the air is like a gossamer, the dark essence and black qi are entwined and dirty, and there are hollows in the corpse dogs, the arrows, the birds, the thieves, the non-poisonous, the filthy, and the smelly lungs." The only active Shuang Ling is still clear, so you haven't become demented. Compared to Ah Xue, your memory is not only missing, it can be described as chaotic and false. And you can still eat and sleep normally, which can only show that your original soul is extremely powerful. ”
"Okay." Hearing the last sentence, Cha Cha barely suppressed the anger in her heart. But she has already decided, no matter how Ah Xue explains later, when she arrives in the imperial capital, she will directly take the money and leave, and part ways with Su Mingyan and them. Damn, as a member of 404, what are you doing?
