Chapter 371: The Enlightenment of a Young Man
Red Leaf City, a small red building, the former office of the Black Sun Trade, is now empty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kai woke up from his slumber, still with a faint ache in the back of his head, and sat up, finding himself lying on a black leather couch, or rather the guest chair in the room.
It took him about ten seconds to clear his mind, remembering that this was the reception room that his grandfather had been using, though it was no longer for him and his family as of today.
"It's so ruthless," Kai complained angrily, remembering that he was arguing with his grandfather before he fainted, and then the old man approached him, and the back of his neck hurt, and his eyes were dark, "That bastard old man, he really treats people as pawns and gears, and if he doesn't act according to his ideas, he throws them on the ground." โ
In his coma, he could not escape from the cold reality, he still stood in the center of the room in his dreams, it was gloomy, the old man sat in front of him as if he was sitting in the shadows, and every word he said was like an ice pick piercing the heart, making people shiver with pain and cold.
And now that he is awake, he has to face a more real reality, thinking of this, he feels that there is a fire in his stomach again, and he doesn't know how to vent it, on the contrary, it is a faint pain in his heart, he covers his chest, and feels that there is a piece of ice that cannot be dissolved.
"Where's Grandpa?" Kai saw that the room was empty, and it was clear that all the equipment and miscellaneous items had been removed, but this reception room remained unchanged, and what was here when he came, and there are a lot of them now.
It's like deliberately not disturbing yourself in your sleep, so that you can sleep like this.
"Oops. Kai suddenly reacted, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He understood that this was not only a comfortable space deliberately left for his sleep, but that Grandpa didn't let people move this room because he didn't want to be woken up and drag himself here.
Kai thought of the pile of photos that his grandfather took out of his pocket, and it was obvious that his friends had already been targeted, and during the time he was unconscious, his grandfather had enough effort to do something to everyone.
He bounced off the desert, didn't think about anything, and rushed straight to the door. He grabbed the doorknob with both arms and twisted it with all his might, but the doorknob seemed to be fixed in shape, and there was no sign of shaking. He's locked up in this room!
"You, are you awake?" someone outside was talking, as if noticing movement inside.
"Open the door, let me out, let me out," Kai shouted loudly while slamming the door with a hammer, "I don't have time to continue to spend here, it's okay for everyone, let me out quickly!"
"You calm down first, the door is locked, I don't have a key, this door is locked, and it can't be opened inside and out," Liu said outside the door, he could hear the anxiety and displeasure in Kai's tone, "I can't help you open the door." โ
"You're in charge of staying and watching me, if I can't get out of this house, will someone stay here to supervise me," Kai said angrily, when he became emotional, his thinking power also decreased, and at this time, all he thought about was getting out of here quickly, not how to leave," I don't care who you are, anyway, I'm in a hurry, my most important friends are facing dangers that they don't know about, anything can happen, I have to go to them, so it won't cost you a second to be here, if you know what means, be sure to get me out of here!"
"Young man, you calm down first, calm down and say anything, even if I really have something to do, can you really listen to what you are so impatient," Liu said, "What you said also has some truth, but I can only say I'm sorry, your grandfather didn't give me the key or anything before leaving, just let me stay here and watch, now I think about it more likely, in case someone comes to see the house, I still need to communicate about why this room is empty." โ
"But I really hope that someone will come, and then your so-called communication will break down, and they will immediately find someone to pry open the door so that I can leave," Kai said, suddenly clenching his fist, "or rather, I can just destroy the door from within." โ
"They all say you need to calm down......" Before Liu could finish speaking, he heard a loud noise.
Kai punched down, the door did not move, only his hand was in pain, but these are nothing, if his friend is in danger because of his grandfather, his heart will hurt even more, that kind of pain is unbearable.
His fist was covered in the luster of steel, and the human fist couldn't be smashed, so he replaced it with an iron block to smash it, Kai clenched his fist again and went down with all his strength against the door.
The second time, Liu heard a louder noise, and he had the illusion that the whole building was trembling.
"What are you doing? Do you want to demolish the house?" Liu said loudly into the house, "This house is now someone else's, and you will have to pay for it if you destroy it." โ
"It's really strong, what a door. Kai looked at the door blocking him in surprise and helplessly, and felt that the fire in his stomach was even stronger.
"It should be specially made, I heard that ten machine guns can't make a trace," Liu said, "Anyway, you calm down first, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't move, although the boss said let me watch you don't leave this house, but my contract was completely over ten minutes ago," he glanced at his watch, "That is, I can not continue this task now." โ
Kai took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, he finally understood that he was too excited, and now he couldn't control his emotions like this, and when he saw his grandfather and put everyone in danger, wouldn't he be even more out of shape, and he might not be able to help everyone if he lost his calm, and maybe it would increase the burden.
"You, I've heard your voice, you're Liu, right?" Kai was only now distracted, noticing the person outside the door, "You're the one who brought me here." โ
"Yes, I was the driver along the way," Liu said, thinking that it seemed that the other party had really calmed down, and even identified my identity from the voice, "Although I don't know what happened between you and your grandfather, but if what you said is true, it's really urgent, it's not that I can't help you, although it's not worth your expectations." โ
"How do I get out of here?"
"You can look around the house and see if there's anything worth using, I know you've got a lot of strength, but don't destroy the house, it's a hassle to deal with the aftermath," Liu said, "maybe there's a spare key left behind or something, although I don't think the boss would have made such a careless mistake." โ
"Yes, I think I should have searched around the room," Kai adjusted his breathing so that he wouldn't miss anything crucial because of the clarity, "since he didn't let people empty this place, I think most of the stuff here is still there, and I think I should look for it in his desk." โ
It was dark in the room, Kai turned on the light, and walked over to Jonah's desk, which was neat and tidy, and there wasn't much to place, and he flipped through the scattered papers and books, but none of them were of any use. So he went around to the back of the table, and at the same time began to imagine, imagine that the man had been sitting behind this table, swallowing clouds and spitting fog at the touch of the phone, strategizing, this man was really special, making anyone feel that he was born to constantly walk on the peak, like a machine, like a general who always maintains a fighting posture.
But even so, he is a human being, not a real instrument, and he should always have a little bit of his time, even if it is just a little bit, after work and busyness, he does not belong to the machine general mode. Although I don't want to admit it, only as a family member, I will look at Jonah like this.
Although Kai is quite disgusting now, he has the same blood as the man in his body.
He opened the drawers one by one, and they were filled with all kinds of documents and books, but these things that were valuable to Jonah at a certain time were worthless in Kai's eyes, and he turned all the drawers upside down, and pulled out all the contents of them, looking for something that he felt he could use, and the floor was a mess.
"Did you find anything?" asked Liu aloud outside.
"I'm looking. Kai also responded loudly.
His gaze suddenly stayed on the second drawer on the right hand, and took away the heavy pages pressed on it, this drawer was also empty, at first glance it was nothing special, but Kai always felt that this drawer made people feel awkward, he was puzzled, and his hand was in it and pressed against the four walls to grope around.
"It's ...... Mezzanine?" Kai suddenly understood the awkwardness, and he took out a thin piece of paper from the imperceptible mezzanine.
"This is ......" Kai looked at the thing in his hand, and suddenly trembled, as if he had seen something incredible, "What's the matter, that bastard old man, what the hell is this!" he sighed with mixed emotions.
"That's it, don't you want to let yourself have a flaw...... "Kai clenched the piece of tissue paper, "What a heartless person." โ
"Did you find it?" Liu asked again, feeling that there was no movement in the room.
"I found something crucial, but I still couldn't get out of the room. Kai put the piece of paper in his pocket.
"Did you find it or didn't find it, isn't it a prop suitable for leaving the room?" Liu Zaizi outside the door was confused.
Kai turned around and stared at the closed shutters on the wall, silent for a few seconds.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he opened the window uneasily.
Outside, the sky was already dark.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Kai shouted outside the door, "Hey, Mr. Liu, what time is it?"
"It's almost a day," Liu said, "and it's eight o'clock in ten minutes." โ
Kai didn't wait for Liu's reply, he thought of his mobile phone first, he searched his trouser pocket, fortunately the phone was not taken away, and then before looking at the time, his eyes were attracted by something else.
It was a text message, which had been sent to his mobile phone a few hours ago, but at that time he was unconscious and didn't have time to look at it, the sender was Suzu, and he immediately opened the text message and saw that it was Suzu's invitation.
The closing time of the amusement park is half past seven, and before the last fifteen minutes, there can be no more customers left in the park, but now the time has long passed, according to Suzu's character, he will definitely turn what he sees and his mood into an email again, as if he is afraid that everyone will not know that he has fun.
They have been in contact with each other for so long, and Suzu's habits, Kai naturally understands. But today, I didn't receive a second text message on my phone.
It's impossible for the amusement park to extend the closing time, and Suzu will be fully prepared every time she goes out, and the phone will not happen if it runs out of battery, and it is impossible for the phone to be snatched away by robbers, with her current ability, ordinary robbers can't do anything about her.
Then only non-ordinary people can crisis her.
"Grandpa......" Kai said.
"Hey, what the hell is going on?" Liu began to feel strange, since Kai asked that question, the room had been quiet and strange.
"Mr. Liu, after all, why are you helping me, as you said, you don't have to do anything for my grandfather anymore, so there's no reason to care about me, a person who has only seen me for a few hours," Kai's voice came from the room, "It's still this kind of." โ
Liu was silent for a moment, as if he was stumped by this question, he thought about it, but in fact, he didn't figure it out himself, "This kind of thing, you ask me, I can't say it clearly, I also want to ask myself, this is your business, why do I have to wade into troubled waters once, I have to say that it is because of this short few hours, because speculation is fate, and it seems a bit far-fetched," he smiled bitterly, "It's not a man's friendship than Jin Jian's TV series." โ
"Just think I'm a bad person for a while," Liu said, "and do more good deeds while you're alive, and you don't have to worry about going to hell when you die." โ
"Thank you, although it's only a one-sided relationship, but thank you for being willing to help me, a person I don't know at all. Kai said, he thought to himself whether this was ironic, but it was a blood relative, but they were doing things that hurt themselves.
Kai held the mentality of trying, his hand reached for the window, the window was not locked, he opened, and the wind from outside flowed in, so that Kai finally felt that he was no longer trapped in this house.
"What's the sound? What did you turn on?"
"Window, there is only one way to get me out so far," Kai said, "Mr. Liu, one last reluctant request, do you have the right driving tools, I want to go to a place, but to be honest, it's a bit far from here." โ
"The car belongs to the boss, and I also think that I will have to find a way to go back after leaving, so I parked the motorcycle downstairs in advance, you can ride it if you want, I can take a taxi, and the car is about to be scrapped when it is old," Liu said, "But are you serious? Want to jump out of the window and leave? I advise you not to do this, there will definitely be a better way, you don't see that there are only three floors here, each floor is built very high, and there is a mezzanine in the middle, jumping from here, the sturdy buffalo will break a leg." โ
"Yes, but I don't know if it will crack if you throw a piece of iron down," Kai leaned against the wall, one foot had already stepped on the windowsill, the night wind hit him in the face, he thought that the wind was too noisy tonight, and remembered that the TV forecast said that it would rain for several days in a row, and tonight would be no exception, "Thank you so much, Mr. Liu, if you can, I hope we can still be friends in the future, and please don't dislike me for being just a high school student, let's see you in the parking lot downstairs." โ
With that, the color of steel appeared on him, and he jumped out and jumped down.
Liu couldn't hear any sounds in the room, and no matter how many times he shouted, he couldn't hear a response.
"I really jumped off. Liu sighed, and suddenly felt that he was really strange today, yes, why did he want to help that boy, was there any necessary reason, or could he get some benefits from it? How could it be, but it was helped, maybe he felt a determination or something like that from his words and deeds, although it sounded very exaggerated and fantastical, and a little ashamed.
But even he had a time when he was young and always stupidly felt that somewhere in this world must need me, and I would be like a destined hero, or the last descendant of a hidden martial arts family, and one day I would meet a group of brothers who were close to each other, break into some fame, and leave behind some legends.
When I was young, I thought about myself with such an awareness in my mind, and I thought about it with such an understanding, saying words that sound ashamed now, but were passionate and excited at the time.
Until now that he has matured, he lives in the real reality of the life that wiped off his mouth, and the blood of the past fantasy is gradually gone, but even so, sometimes alone, he will be in a trance, feeling that he is still that young child, imagining where there are unknowns and adventures in the world waiting for him to break through, what kind of consciousness he will take to face what dangers, or save his beloved.
In fact, everyone has had such a time, it should be at a very young age, imagining that you are a hero or a superpower, or imagining that you will go to a fantasy world. The first time Liu longed that he would one day go to another mysterious world was in elementary school, and the first thing he did after school was to rush home and turn on the TV to watch a foreign anime called "Digital.Monster" that Chinese translated "Digimon" or "Digimon" that played every night.
"Infinity ใชDream ใฎใใจใฎ?ใใใใชใไธใฎไธญใใ", that was his favorite childhood lyric.
"He said he was a student, and he was as strong as a boxing champion. Liu smiled, complained, and quickly went downstairs, he still had to worry about the boy who seemed to be crazy and broke a few bones.
