Chapter 360: Three Swords Combined
Xia Qiu took the three bowls of hot noodles that had just been cooked, and walked carefully down the stairs all the way to the door of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient Mansion. At this time, the sound of tapping on the keyboard in the database was very rhythmic, because the light in the basement itself was not too strong, so the light emitted by several computer screen colleagues was even more dazzling.
Because she couldn't spare her free hands to rub her eyes, she had to close and open them to determine that Du He, Liu Lingmei, and Dong Haofan were gathering in the underground database. They emptied Dong Muya's large table, and connected the several computers they brought in series, each occupying one side to carry out various complicated operations.
"I smell a scent!" Dong Haofan was the first to raise his head from behind the computer screen and said.
"Me too!" Du He also closed his eyes and inhaled the aroma of the noodles deeply, and then asked.
"Sure enough, it's two foodies! Where are you at the end of your work? Liu Lingmei asked without looking up, with reproach in her tone.
Du He and Dong Haofan looked at each other and smiled, and stuck out their tongues at each other, and then turned their eyes to Xia Qiu as if asking for help.
Xia Qiu couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, and proposed, "Otherwise, let's rest for a while, you haven't slept all night." ”
"Don't indulge them in laziness, or they'll both be lazy and do nothing! Human lives are at stake, and we are now in a race against time! Liu Lingmei shook her head and said, but after tapping a few more keys, she temporarily stopped what she was doing.
"I've put it here for you! Coffee gone? Xia Qiu asked after placing the noodles in his hand on another small table, glancing at the already empty coffee pot.
"I'd better drink some juice, I always feel like my stomach is about to burst if I drink coffee again." Liu Lingmei furrowed her eyebrows and touched her stomach.
"A can of Red Bull!" Du He raised his hand and said.
"I want it too!" Dong Haofan echoed.
"Do you really think of yourself as an uncle?!" Liu Lingmei glared at the two of them.
She is a person who can't stop as long as something is not done, and she will turn this pressure into motivation to pass on to the partners she works with. Such a person is needed in any team, perhaps because she has been serving as a class leader in the class, and she is very good at how to assign work and manage other members.
Without her, it would be difficult for Xia Qiu to imagine how she would control the naughty Dong Haofan and Du He, who were prone to laziness. Their current job is to use the computer left by Dong Muya that was once connected to the MM system to rebuild a part of the database, and once successful, they can simulate the illusion that the MM system is still working.
This is the result of everyone's joint discussion, and they agree that according to Blackfall's prompt, Lady Blue's mother and son have considerable knowledge and status in many fields in the human world, including perhaps the computer and Internet fields, so it may be the two of them who are hiding in the shadows and controlling the mysterious forum. If they find that the MM system is still running, they will definitely be attracted by it and want to find out, and then they will naturally take the initiative to send it to the door, and when the time comes, Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and others will come to catch turtles in the urn.
Liu Lingmei took the bottled juice handed by Xia Qiu, took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose, she had a slight astigmatism, which was caused by the frequent use of computers and mobile phones. Xia Qiu felt that her appearance with glasses was somewhat similar to Dong Muya, and the two of them were veritable workaholics, and the addition of Liu Lingmei and the other two people made the underground database regain its previous vitality.
Even three days ago, it was hard for Xia Qiu to imagine that such a picture would appear in front of him. At that time, she and Liu Lingmei had not yet reconciled, and she told Ouyang Xiaoleng the reply and information she had received from Blackfall, hoping to get advice from him.
"I think she must still be waiting for you, although I can't fully understand all human emotions yet, but human feelings are often the product of accumulation. Since it was not forged overnight, it is difficult to collapse in an instant, even if it seems to be gone on the surface, but in fact it is still inextricably linked. If you want to see her, go to her, and if you want to ask for her help, be frank with her, and leave the rest to me! ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng's words made Xia Qiu feel that she was thinking about everything too complicated, just like Liu Lingmei bravely approached her introverted self many years ago and became friends with her, this time she wanted to return to her side.
And her strong backing was Ouyang Xiaoleng's support, and he kept all the negotiations with the two elders and the rest of the demon world to himself, just so that she could complete what she wanted without any pressure. Her heart was filled with emotion at the moment, and before she was indulged in this boundless warmth, she had to rush to meet Liu Lingmei with the help of this courage.
After returning to the world, Xia Qiu dialed the phone number that she had not seen for a long time, which was different from what she imagined, Liu Lingmei quickly picked up her phone, and she should have been waiting for her, so that her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Hey...... Xiaoqiu? ”
"Reimi!"
Hearing her voice again, she called her nickname, and let Xia Qiu's tears crisscross her face.
"Did something happen?"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Lingmei also choked up, she thought that she would never be able to wait for Xia Qiu's call anymore.
"I want to see you!"
Just a few words, but enough to replace all complex language.
"Well, I've actually called you many times in the past few days, but your phone hasn't gotten through."
"It's lunch break, right? See you on the rooftop! ”
Although Liu Lingmei didn't understand the meaning of Xia Qiu's phone call, she was convinced of her words, and this trust came from trust in years of friendship. She climbed all the way to the top floor of the school building and tried to push the door to the rooftop, the door that she remembered should have been locked tightly opened with an unexpected creak. The sunlight suddenly shone in and shone on her face and body, making her feel a burst of warmth.
Directly behind the railing in front of her, Xia Qiu was really waiting there, and she guessed that she should have been there a long time ago. The door to the rooftop closed behind her, and she walked past her, and after many days of not seeing her, it seemed as if she was a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"Did you just wait for me here?" She asked.
"No, I just came." Xia Qiu's expression was still a little stiff.
"How so?! Why didn't I see you?! ”
"Because ......" Xia Qiu didn't explain too much, but let her feet rise from the ground.
Liu Lingmei opened her big eyes, swallowed her saliva violently, and didn't know what to say for a while. After waiting for a while, she stretched out her hands, and Xia Qiu didn't hesitate at all, holding her hands and pulling her to fly together.
"If you are seen by other people on the playground, you will definitely ......," Liu Lingmei suddenly reacted and reminded.
"It's okay!" Ouyang Xiaoleng appeared beside them at some point and said, "You, Xia Qiu, and I are now in a space completely isolated from them. ”
There was no fear on Liu Lingmei's face as they had imagined before, but more excitement and excitement, she looked up at Xia Qiu and asked, "Tell me what's going on?!! ”
"I finally understand why you're good friends!" Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't help but sigh, he remembered that after seeing his ability in Xia Qiu, he also had a similar reaction to Liu Lingmei now.
Xia Qiu took Liu Lingmei back to the ground, and then told Liu Lingmei about her encounter, contract, and countless adventures with Ouyang Xiaoleng, including, of course, the incident when Liu Lingmei and her were attacked by the young man controlled by the Rakshasa Mother. She originally thought that Liu Lingmei should be completely shocked after hearing this, and she also made preparations for this, if she broke down emotionally because she couldn't accept it, Ouyang Xiaoleng would erase her memory again.
But the emotions she showed were far from what they expected, and when she learned the truth of everything, she felt more deeply worried about Xia Qiu. Without her knowledge, her friend had been in danger so many times that he almost took his life, and in order to protect her, Xia Qiu had to bury everything deep in his heart, but he was also misunderstood by himself.
The erased memories came back, and she remembered the day when she was attacked after coming out of the park with Xia Qiu, and those images still creep her away. She opened her arms, hugged Xia Qiu and said, "I remembered it all, how you protected me who was frightened at that time." I'm sorry I misunderstood you! ”
"It's me who should say I'm sorry, I just wanted to protect you, but I ended up hiding so many things from you, and I took it upon myself to erase your memory......"
"It's me who erases her memory!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said.
He didn't look away, such a warm picture seemed so beautiful to him. He remembered that when he rushed to the city hospital, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Ai, who had woken up, also hugged each other tightly like this, and all the grievances were gone, maybe only when the stormy resentment and misunderstanding had passed, the rainbow would be extraordinarily dazzling.
Xia Qiu also told the mysterious forum and the disappearance of Dong Muya and Min Entong. Before she could open her mouth to ask Liu Lingmei for help, she said: "I may be able to give you some help with the computer, but I'm afraid I can't do it alone." ”
"Well, I also thought of Du He, but I'm worried about how he will react after telling him the whole thing!" Xia Qiu said while nodding.
"He's going to faint with excitement, right? Don't look at him in school, he is so versatile and capable in all aspects of learning and sports, he has been obsessed with all kinds of supernatural events and UFOs in private. The mysterious forum that appeared in the school recently you mentioned, he once hacked in, and for this reason he was still showing off in front of me and Dong Haofan. ”
"Really?! Dong Haofan?! ”
"He's also pretty good at computers, and the three of us have communicated privately."
"I remember Ran Mingzhu said that he was the grandson of Dong Fan, the manager of Yujin Apartment!" Xia Qiu asked Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"yes, he'll be interested in that, too!" Ouyang Xiaoleng responded.
"The computer that Mr. Dong used is still there, right? I heard her say that her computer was connected to the little hacker's MM system and shared a database or something. Liu Lingmei's whole person has entered a state of excitement.
"yes!"
"I think there may be hope for recovering some of the data in the MM system database...... But it's not clear if it's possible! I have to go with Du He and Dong Haofan to see Mr. Dong's computer first, and then discuss the countermeasures. Liu Lingmei suddenly became serious and serious, and she was like the one who was always confused when studying.
