Chapter 16: The Red String Bell
After a bit of galloping, the car came to a screeching halt. Fortunately, Star Swirl clenched the handrail, otherwise she would have been thrown out by inertia. "It's here, get out of the car." Lu Jingfan looked at his car and said with satisfaction: "It's still open and comfortable to sit on." ”
Li Xingxuan suppressed a strong feeling of vomiting and followed Lu Jingfan into an ordinary-looking white building. It looks like it's just an office building everywhere, and the elevator goes all the way down, and this building actually has four negative floors. After getting out of the elevator, Li Xingxuan found that there was indeed a cave here. Pure white marble floors, pure white walls, and rooms on both sides of the corridor, each with a closed door, with a numbered number on it, faintly shining through the cracks in the doors. At the other end of the corridor is the hall, which looks like a library with many bookshelves filled with books and archive boxes. Mr. X was sitting at his desk in a white gown, a bit like the doctor's dress, and when he saw them come in, he frowned and asked, "Why is your face so ugly?" "Maybe it's going too fast." Lu Jingfan replied proudly. "What era is it, and you still drive that broken car?" Mr. X got up and poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Xingxuan, glancing at Lu Jingfan with some reproach. "This is called nostalgia, what, feel sorry for your kitten?" Lu Jingfan teased, and Mr. ** gave a cold look, and swallowed back the words to his mouth.
Li Xingxuan took a sip of water and felt calm before asking, "What is this place?" Mr. X pushed the golden frame on the bridge of his nose and replied, "It's just a place to store files." Traditionally, we have created an archive of the purified energy source and stored it here for future reference. Li Xingxuan suddenly realized that the matter of collecting energy was indeed organized, planned, and had been for many years. So, when I came to this space, you didn't just ask me to do these things to help me recover? Li Xingxuan finally asked the doubts that had been lingering in his mind these days. Oh, are you the queen mother aware of it? Lu Jingfan said with a smile. Mr. X continued, "You are special, not only because you are from another plane, but also because you are her sister. "My sister? What's wrong with her? Hearing him mention Angela Lee, Star Swirl's heart hung again. We don't have an eye on your sister's affairs yet, we can only detect that the energy in her body has been disordered. "Disorder? So how will she be affected? Li Xingxuan clenched her fists, she obviously read in her sister's diary that Li Leqi, who lived a happy and peaceful life, how could she be involved in the matter of the energy source? Failure to restore energy balance for a long time may result in disappearance. Mr. X paused: "So, I need you to investigate this matter." "Disappeared ......" Li Xingxuan's heart sank, so in the original space, could the reason for her sister's disappearance be this?
"Okay, don't talk about this, why did you call me over?" Lu Jingfan interrupted the conversation between the two. Mr. X turned the computer screen on his desk to show him, and the page above showed a news story about the sudden death of the president of a technology company. "What's the point?" Lu Jingfan asked nonchalantly. "When the body was found, a red string bell was tied to its foot." Mr. X replied. Lu Jingfan's face became rare and serious, "Red rope? You mean 'he' showed up? Li Xingxuan hadn't recovered from Mr. X's words yet, and her eyes widened in surprise when she looked at the computer screen, that was Liu Qianyu's husband!
"Were there any anomalies in your contact with them?" Mr. X turned to Li Xingxuan and asked. "There doesn't seem to be anything else except the past of the two people we know together, but I found a big suspicion today." Star Swirl pursed her lips and continued, "The reason why I came into contact with Liu Qianyu and her husband was because Gu Yi recommended me the opportunity to be their son's part-time tutor, but when I mentioned this matter to Gu Yi today, he told me with certainty that he had never told me about it, and he was completely unaware. After hearing this, Mr. X and Lu Jingfan glanced at each other, and said in silence for a moment: "Liu Qianyu and her husband have no children, as you can see in his dream, their child was miscarried a year ago. "No way, I met that kid when I first went......" Li Xingxuan looked at Mr. X in disbelief, and suddenly she remembered last night's dream, the little boy with a strange expression. Someone pretended to be Gu Yi and directed her to contact Liu Qianyu's non-existent son? These things are superficially unreasonable, but secretly form a certain connection.
Mr. X had something to discuss with Lu Jingfan, and Li Xingxuan went back to school. Tomorrow is summer vacation, and as soon as I entered the dormitory door, I saw Jiajia packing her luggage. "When will you go back?" Star Swirl asks. "Hey, hey, tomorrow morning's train." Jia Jia was already like an arrow, "Xuanyue, aren't you going home?" "Gu Yi said that there is a part-time opportunity, I want to try." Star Swirl remembered Gu Yi's unspoken recommendation. "Then you will have to stay alone in the empty room during the holidays, be careful yourself, and wait for me to come back and bring you something to eat." Jiajia patted her head, "By the way, someone just looked for you and said that he was waiting for you in the psychological counseling room at half past three in the afternoon." "Who?" When it came to the consultation room, Li Xingxuan became vigilant. "It's Su Linnan, the junior of the humanities department!" Jiajia's face flushed with excitement, "He came to class to look for you this morning, tsk, I blushed when I said two words to him." ”
Li Xingxuan didn't know anything about the grass, but she was a little sensitive to the people who appeared in the psychological counseling room, so after listening to Jiajia's words, she made up her mind to meet Su Linnan. Stuffed two mouthfuls of bread casually, and a series of things that have happened from morning to now today made her not even bother to eat, and she was so hungry that she wanted to eat the cat meal made by Mr. X. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Xingxuan refused Jiajia's strong request to follow and went to the psychological counseling room alone.
At half-past three, there was a knock on the door. "Please come in." Following Star Swirl's voice, the door was pushed open to a handsome boy with meticulous hair and much more fashionable and good-looking clothes than the average college boy. However, it was far inferior to Mr. X, Li Xingxuan thought to herself. The boy smiled brightly at Star Swirl, revealing two cute tiger teeth, "Hello, I'm Su Linnan, thank you for waiting for me here today." "Tomorrow is the holiday, and I will stand on the last shift." Li Xingxuan looked at Su Linnan quietly. "I have something I want to ask you." Su Linnan propped up the table on her elbows and suddenly approached Li Xingxuan, startling her. "You say." Star Swirl backs away.
