"... You never thought about what to do with yourself after the operation?" Ronggui asked another question, not knowing what to say.
"I thought about it, they said they would install temporary mechanical internal organs for me. With them, I should be able to go home." Kerry said.
"But... you also said that those internal organs are only for temporary use. If you can't find a suitable mechanical internal organs within the time limit, what will you do?" I follow Xiaomei every day, and I see so many doctors with Xiaomei. , Ronggui knows more about metal internal organs than ordinary people. He knows that the so-called temporary mechanical organs are actually disposable organs. The materials and workmanship are completely unacceptable. Generally, they are mostly used in operations that need to be removed and repaired. On the organs: remove the organs that need to be operated on, install a temporary up and maintain function, and then reinstall the original organs after the operation is completed. This was originally a method often used in modern medicine, but this temporary Sexual mechanical organs must not be used for a long time. After a long time, something will happen sooner or later!
Thinking that Kerry didn't know, he quickly spread all the knowledge about temporary organs in his head to him.
Who knows—
After listening to him, Kerry actually nodded: "I know what you said."
"Even before the surgery, I asked Gigi for excuses."
"Knowing that you actually accepted it? You, you are too—" Ronggui stood up anxiously, not knowing what to say.
However,
Kerry slowly lowered his eyelashes, and was silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth curved slightly again, revealing a strange smile:
"It's stupid, isn't it? But, at that time, I really couldn't think of another way."
"Do you know what despair is? Despair is when you know something isn't possible, but you still do it."
"At that time, I was extremely desperate. I wanted to go home and see my mother for the last time. In order to achieve this goal, let alone the heart, it doesn't matter if the other party kills me, as long as I have a bite to go back. ."
After saying this, Kerry closed his eyes, and he stopped talking.
Ronggui opened his mouth, and in the end, he stopped talking, just gently pulled the quilt up for Kerry.
The desperation Kerry was talking about... He really didn't understand, however, to be able to make such a crazy decision, Kerry must have been at that time... very very...
There is no other way, right
A basin of beans was placed beside Kerry's head, and Ronggui quietly stood by his side.
Two days and one night have passed since the auction day, and the message sent to all elevator card holders on the "official website" is still "Stay in your room and don't go out for the time being".
There is no way to go out, and there is absolutely no news from the outside world. In this way, what is going on outside, whether Gigi has passed the border safely, whether Grandpa Allen has returned home safely... Ronggui doesn't know.
And there's-
There is never a call.
The power system here seems to be specially designed, only the computer connected to the official website can be powered on, and all other electrical appliances no longer work. Fortunately, Xiaomei has a good habit of replenishing energy to the charger every day, and Rhubarb also has regular energy storage every day. function, in a short period of time, the energy for their mechanical body activities is enough.
However, the delay in calling and the fact that the person who Gigi said would come to pick up Kerry never came, these two points made Ronggui inexplicably a little flustered.
Now they've all moved to the living room, where there's a sofa where Kerry can lie down a little more comfortably.
Ronggui moved the bench made by Xiaomei and sat next to Kerry, while Xiaomei sat on the single sofa beside him. In order to save electricity, he did not continue to do handicrafts, and now he is just staying here for company.
At this moment, Ronggui suddenly heard a knock on the door!
dong dong dong!
Very regular three times!
The voice was not loud. At first Ronggui thought that Xiao Huang was pecking at the door, but he soon found that Xiao Huang was huddled under Xiaomei's sofa, so...
Ronggui immediately stood up nervously.
Could it be the jailer? Ronggui didn't speak, but he fully expressed his concern in the eyes he looked at Xiaomei.
"No hurry." Xiaomei whispered.
After recruiting Ronggui, the two removed the sofa cushion and hid Kerry under the cushion of the sofa. This was discovered by Ronggui when he was cleaning, and he would put Kerry on the sofa in the living room. One of the reasons is of course. It is more comfortable here. Another reason is that the storage compartment under the sofa, a three-person sofa of normal length, can just fit the thin and tall Kerry in it.
If Ronggui was alone, he would be in a hurry now, but Xiaomei was so calm, so he calmed down.
The two quickly hid Kerry, and then Xiaomei walked in front, Ronggui followed closely behind Xiaomei, and the two walked towards the door together.
Xiaomei deliberately freed up an arm, Ronggui immediately grabbed it tightly, and the two opened the door in this awkward position.
It was still dark outside because there was no incoming call.
Ah... No, because they have ground beans, it's not just pitch black outside, but greenish twilight.
Through Xiaomei's shoulder, Ronggui looked up subconsciously, there was only air and no one was outside.
Ronggui was stunned.
However, in the next second, Xiaomei greeted the air: "Hello."
Ronggui was taken aback!
He quickly switched the imaging system, but the front was still empty...
Just when he couldn't help but hug Xiaomei's arm even tighter, his eyes slipped, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of a green human figure...
Ronggui was so frightened that his legs began to tremble, but after trembling, he finally woke up.
Switching the imaging system to normal mode again, Ronggui finally saw the object of Xiaomei's greeting:
Very short.
He and Xiaomei were short enough, and the other party was even shorter than them. No wonder Ronggui habitually looked up and couldn't see anything at first.
I'm used to meeting people who are taller than me, and it's rare to meet someone smaller than me, but I'm not used to it.
The short visitor was dressed in black... a coat with a scarf that did not resemble a scarf, a cloak that did not resemble a cloak, and slender feet, standing silently at the door.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "I'm here to pick up Kerry."
As soon as the voice sounded, Ronggui was stunned.
The voice of the other party sounds ordinary at first, but when you listen carefully, you always feel that it is full of incongruity, as if... It seems that the voice has been changed? !
Grabbing Xiaomei's arm, Ronggui tilted his head.
"Who asked you to come?" Xiaomei continued talking to the other party.
"The one who paid me is Gigi." The man continued to reply in a deliberately altered voice.
Ronggui knew immediately: This is the person Gigi told them before and would come to pick up Kerry later.
"You wait outside." After Xiaomei finished speaking, she closed the door again.
Together with Ronggui, they carried Kerry out of the sofa, and they carried Kerry back to the front door.
After putting aside the effort of Kerry and Xiaomei to open the door, Ronggui deliberately stuffed several handkerchiefs, nutritional supplements and the like from the side into the sheets wrapped in Kerry.
In the dark, Kerry was lifted up again.
Only then did Ronggui realize that there was more than one person at the door! In addition to the dwarf figure who talked to them before, there were actually two equally dwarf people!
I don't know that the other party was hiding there originally, or it appeared when they were carrying Kerry, Ronggui only now found out that there were three people outside!
Kerry has been lifted up by them. It stands to reason that they can leave. However, Ronggui noticed that the shadow who had talked to them before suddenly stopped.
"Today, can I buy ground beans by the way?"
When he was talking, he was standing next to a basin of beans, which glowed green in the dark.
To be honest, most people don't know the term ground beans at all. Secondly, when most people see this green fluorescent plant, they will instinctively not think that they can eat it.
The other party said Didou's name accurately...
"Okay, three or five?" Xiaomei's performance was as calm as ever.
"I just made some money, I want ten today." The shadow stretched out all the fingers of both hands.
Seeing that the two people obviously didn't have a first conversation, the light bulb in Rong Gui's head suddenly lit up.
He thought he knew who it was.
Ghost Guest!
When Xiaomei set up a stall, she was the last mysterious guest who came over every night to buy ground beans!
He had only heard Xiaomei say it before, but he had never encountered it before. Often, the other party clearly disappeared on the way he was about to come, but he just couldn't meet the other party.
How magical, Ronggui gave the other party the nickname "Ghost Guest"!
There were just enough ground beans in the flowerpot closest to him, so Xiaomei simply picked up the whole flowerpot and handed it to the other side.
"There are eleven here." The other party counted carefully, and then said to Xiaomei.
"Buy ten get one free." Xiaomei said with a stern face.
Buy ten get one free is still a slogan that Ronggui came up with. Unfortunately, this customer always buys three or five, and he has never used the discount.
But now, he finally enjoys this discount.
Seeing that he took the flowerpot, Ronggui lowered his head and looked at it.
In the darkness, the expression of the other party could not be seen clearly, but Ronggui always felt that the other party seemed very happy.
"Can I come over to you to buy ground beans in the future?" After a long while, the other party raised his head again, and Ronggui heard him ask Xiang Xiaomei.
"Okay." Xiaomei nodded.
"Oh." The other party also nodded, without any greeting, he and his companion walked straight to the direction of the elevator.
Ronggui reflexively looked at the back of the other party.
He thought that the other party would swipe the card to open the elevator, but who knew...
The elevator door didn't open, and the figure of the other party suddenly disappeared in front of the elevator!
It was hard to believe his eyes, Ronggui deliberately took out a small handkerchief and wiped his eyeballs, and then pulled Xiaomei's arm.
Holding Xiaomei and running to the elevator, Ronggui carefully observed it for a long time, but... No! Nothing!
He couldn't see how the other party disappeared at all!
In the end, Xiaomei took out a flashlight, and after slowly shining it around, the circular halo finally stopped on the ceiling in front of the elevator entrance.
The light of the flashlight stopped there for a long time, and Ronggui noticed that there was a row of round holes there.
Very thin, small, neatly arranged, arranged in a rectangle, and not large in size.
"That's the ventilation duct. The other party should have walked from there just now." Xiaomei said, making sure that Ronggui had seen enough, and he put the flashlight back.
It's just... incredible!
Even if he left through the ventilation duct... the other party's speed is too fast, right
It's as fast as the blink of an eye!
Do not! Not even the speed of a blink of an eye!
But in this way, he finally understood why he never met the ghost guest every time before.
