Chapter 19: The Truth Emerges
"Miss Shen? Are you there? In the dark, Wang Xiao gasped and nervously shouted Shen Lili's name. There is no signal on the phone, but fortunately, the battery is quite sufficient. Wang Xiao turned on the flashlight function and shone it into the dark café.
All the seats were empty, and in the dark and quiet of the room, she could hear her own heartbeat clearly. There are still four and a half minutes left in the countdown of blood letters, and Wang Xiao knows that whether he can leave alive this time or not, the final responsibility will fall on him alone. Shen Lili must be found as soon as possible and taken out of here!
A small sound came from above his head, and after sensitively capturing this movement, Wang Xiao took a deep breath: It seems that the other party should have been taken to the second floor.
"Come on, I can do it." She silently cheered herself up, shone her mobile phone on the stairs, and took a firm step.
Five minutes ago. The two originally sat in the café downstairs for a day, and because of boredom, Shen Lili also talked to Wang Xiaodong about her part-time career.
"Actually, Juanzi is also a hard-working person, who does our job, looks glamorous, but in fact, we all know that no one looks down on us behind our backs. People have a peripheral girl, and I really don't feel good about it. It's only in the past half a year that I've slowly come to terms with me, and after getting to know Jiang Kun, I want to live a good life with him......" Shen Lili thought of the old friends around her and what happened to her now, and Douda's tears fell on the table one by one.
"Sister Lili, don't be too uncomfortable." Wang Xiao didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hurriedly hand over the tissue: "It'll be fine after a few days, I believe you will get better and better in the future." ”
"Actually, my real name isn't that." Shen Lili took the tissue, and her heart was hot: "I don't feel dirty to do this job, so I have been using a fake name externally." Actually, my real name is Yu Hong. It's strange to say, I think you feel very kind, it reminds me of my sister in my hometown, and even Jiang Kun and they don't know about this. ”
"Oh, that's it......" Wang Xiao also understood her a little, the experience of the woman in front of her was indeed worthy of sympathy. In order to help my sister study, I came here alone to "work", and finally lived a stable life, my best friend, friend and lover have passed away, and now I am still cursed, not only to beware of the box, but also to be in danger of being chased by ghosts at any time.
If it weren't for the fact that they needed to carry out tasks, Zheng Juan and Shen Lili wouldn't have these encounters, right......
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao's heart inexplicably felt guilty. It was obviously because of them that Shen Lili would encounter such a thing, but she didn't know that she regarded her group as a savior, and she was grateful to Dade for giving them all her savings in return.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reach out and grabbed Shen Lili's cold palm: "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about your sister?" She should have just started college now, right? ”
The two talked more and more, and before they knew it, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.
"Are you okay friends?"
"It should be, if Sister Chenyin finishes what she is doing, she will send me a message." Wang Xiaosheng was afraid that his phone call would affect their mission, so he insisted on waiting for the other party to take the initiative to contact him.
"Well, why don't we go get something to eat first? After a day of coffee, I was a little hungry. Shen Lili hesitated again and again, and finally said it.
She didn't say that Wang Xiao didn't feel it yet, and after the other party mentioned it, her stomach screamed angrily.
Wang Xiao thought about it, anyway, these two stores were not far away, so he readily agreed to her request: "It's okay, let's go eat first." ”
"Hmm. You wait a minute, I'll go check out. Shen Lili was embarrassed to let the other party spend any more money. Taking advantage of the gap between her going to check out, Wang Xiao sent a text message to Li Chenyin.
"Alright, let's go." Shen Lili took her wallet and returned to her seat.
"Hmm." Wang Xiao got up, and at the moment when the two of them were about to walk out of the café, the lights in the store behind them suddenly went out, and the originally noisy passers-by disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Wang Xiao protected Shen Lili behind him, subconsciously looked out of the door, only to hear a loud "bang", and the door of the store closed automatically, locking them in the house.
"Hold on to me!" Wang Xiao subconsciously grabbed Shen Lili's hand and prepared to launch the props to leave. However...... The people behind her disappeared at some point, and at the same time, a countdown appeared in her mind.
……
"Where are you now?" Li Chenyin stopped the car and got into the back seat.
"It's in a phone booth near the Jianjiang City Funeral Home." Tian Haibo wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Do we have the last few minutes left?" What should I do? Wang Xiao doesn't know what's going on, I'll report to you and call her at the same time. But she hasn't answered it yet, do you think it's this girl who messed things up...... Damn, I'm not going to be to death by this girl......"
"Master, go to XX Road." After Li Chenyin finished talking to the driver, he sighed and said, "Haven't you figured out the situation yet?" ”
"Miss Li, hurry up and make your words clear!" Tian Haibo's heart was beating fast, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"These last five minutes are not the countdown to the end of our mission, nor are they what we thought at the beginning." Li Chenyin explained.
At first, they successfully prevented Shen Lili from opening the box, turning the countdown from the last few seconds to five days.
This blood-lettered countdown also appeared when Shen Lili's life was threatened, and once everyone did not rescue her within the specified time, it meant that Shen Lili would die completely.
"yes, isn't that what it means?" Tian Haibo asked: "As long as we protect her for five days, and find the truth about the box during this time, we will complete the task." But in this situation, if you don't save her, she will die...... If she dies, then we ......."
"In your past missions to protect the target person, have you ever encountered an event where the space will give a countdown prompt?" Li Chenyin didn't let him continue, but asked such a question.
Her unhurried tone made Tian Haibo extremely angry, seeing that the target task was in danger, why wasn't this woman in a hurry at all? However, when he could not find a way out, he had to suppress his temper and replied, "No." The hints for this mission are indeed somewhat special. ”
"Why is it so special? Space never does anything superfluous, and this time is no exception. Li Chenyin looked at his reflection in the rearview mirror, and his expression became serious: "Because it is not Shen Lili's death countdown at all, but the countdown to her recovery of memory." The box contained her lost memories. ”
"What?" Tian Haibo was shocked.
