The Sabbath

"...You never thought about what will happen to you after the operation?" Ronggui didn't know what to say, so he asked another question.

"I thought about it. They said they would install temporary mechanical internal organs for me. With them, I should be able to last until I 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 organ within the time limit, what will you do?" Doctor, Ronggui knows much 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 unsatisfactory. They are usually used in operations and need to be removed for repair. On the internal organs: remove the internal organs that need to be operated on, install a temporary upward maintenance function, and then reinstall the original organs after the operation is completed. This is a method often used in modern medicine, but this kind of Temporary mechanical organs must not be used for a long time, accidents will happen sooner or later!

He thought that Kerry didn't know, so he quickly spread all the knowledge in his mind about temporary organs to him.

Who knows-

After listening to his words, Kerry nodded: "I know what you said."

"Early before the operation, I asked Jiji for an excuse."

"Knowing that you still accept it? You, you are too—" I didn't know what to say, Ronggui stood up anxiously.

however,

But Kerry slowly lowered his eyelashes, remained silent for a long time, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved again, revealing a strange smile:

"Stupid, isn't it? But, at that time, I really couldn't think of any other way."

"Do you know what despair is? Desperation is when you know something is not going to work, but you still do it."

"At that time, I was very desperate. I wanted to go home and see my mother for the last time. In order to achieve this goal, let alone my heart, it doesn't matter if the other party wants my life, 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, and just gently pulled up the quilt for Kerry.

The desperation that Kerry said...he really didn't understand, however, to make people make such crazy decisions, the Kerry at that time must be... very, very...

There is no other way, right?

Putting a basin of beans next to Kerry's head, Ronggui quietly stood by his side.

Two days and one night have passed since the day of the auction, 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 no news from the outside world at all. In this way, what is going on outside, whether Jiji has passed the customs safely, whether Grandpa Alan has returned home safely... Ronggui doesn't know anything.

And there's-

Never received 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 for the charger every day, and Rhubarb also has regular energy storage every day. In a short period of time, the energy for their mechanical bodies to move is enough.

However, the delay in calling, and the fact that the person Jiji said would come to pick up Kerry never came, these two things made Ronggui somewhat flustered for no reason.

Now they have all moved to the living room, where there is a sofa, which allows Kerry to lie down 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 handwork, and now he is staying here just for company.

At this moment, Ronggui suddenly heard a knock on the door!

Boom boom boom!

Very regular three strokes!

The voice was not loud, at first Ronggui thought it was Xiao Huang who was pecking at the door, but he soon found that Xiao Huang was curled up under Xiaomei's sofa, so...

Ronggui immediately stood up nervously.

Could it be the jailer?Ronggui didn't speak, but he fully expressed his worry in looking at Xiaomei.

"No hurry." Xiaomei whispered.

After recruiting Ronggui, the two of them removed the sofa cushions and hid Kerry under the sofa cushion ← This was discovered when Ronggui was cleaning. One of the reasons why he would put Kerry on the sofa in the living room is of course It is more comfortable here, and another reason is the storage compartment under the sofa. A normal-length three-seater sofa can just fit the tall and thin Cree.

If Ronggui was alone, he must be in a hurry now, but Xiaomei is so calm, so he also calmed down.

The two quickly hid Kerry, then Xiaomei walked in front, Ronggui followed closely behind Xiaomei, and the two walked towards the door together.

Xiaomei deliberately freed an arm, Ronggui immediately grasped it tightly, and the two of them opened the door in this awkward posture.

With no incoming calls, it was still dark outside.

Ah... no, because they have ground beans, it's not pure darkness outside, but there are green gleams here and there.

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 hugging Xiaomei's arms even tighter, his gaze slipped, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of a green human figure...

Ronggui was so frightened that his legs started to tremble, but trembling, he finally woke up.

Switching the imaging system to normal mode again, Ronggui finally saw the person Xiaomei greeted:

He is very short.

He and Xiaomei were short enough, but the other party was actually 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, but it's rare to meet someone who is smaller than me, so I'm not used to it.

The short visitor was wearing a black coat...a scarf that didn't look like a scarf, and a cloak that didn't quite look like a cloak. With slender feet, he stood quietly at the door.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "I'm here to pick up Kerry."

When the voice sounded, Ronggui froze.

The other party's voice sounded ordinary at first glance, but when I listened carefully, I always felt that it was full of discord, as if...as if the voice had been changed? !

Holding Xiaomei's arm, Ronggui tilted his head.

"Who asked you to come?" Xiaomei continued talking to the other party.

"The person who paid me is Jiji." The man continued to reply with a deliberately changed voice.

Ronggui immediately knew: this is the person Jiji told them before, who will come to pick up Kerry later.

"You wait outside." After Xiaomei finished speaking, she closed the door again.

Together with Ronggui, they lifted Kerry out from under the sofa, and they carried Kerry back to the gate.

Putting down Kerry and Xiaomei to open the door, Ronggui deliberately stuffed several handkerchiefs, nutritional supplements and other things from the side into the quilt wrapped around Kerry.

In the darkness, Kerry was lifted up again.

Only then did Ronggui realize that there was more than one person at the door!In addition to the short figure who talked to them before, there are actually two equally short people!

I don't know that the other party was hiding there originally, or they just appeared when they were carrying Kerry, Ronggui only now found out that there are actually three people outside!

Kerry had already been lifted up by them, logically, they could leave, however, Ronggui noticed that the black figure who had talked with 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 ground beans. In the dark, the ground beans shone with green fluorescence.

To be honest, most people don’t know the term ground beans at all. Secondly, most people will instinctively not think that they can eat this kind of green fluorescent plant.

The other party said the name of Didou accurately...

"Okay, three or five?" Xiaomei's performance was as calm as ever.

"I just made money, I want ten today." Soi Ying stretched out all the fingers of both hands.

Seeing that it was obviously not the first conversation between the two, the light bulb in Ronggui's mind suddenly lit up.

He thought he knew who it was.

Ghost guest!

When Xiaomei set up a stall, every night she was the last mysterious customer who came to buy ground beans!

He had only heard Xiaomei say it before, but he had never met her before. Often the other party disappeared on the way he was about to come, but he just couldn't meet her.

No matter how amazing it is, Ronggui nicknamed the other party "ghost guest"!

The flowerpot closest to him was just enough for ten ground beans, so Xiaomei simply picked up the whole flowerpot and handed it in the direction of the other party.

"There are eleven here." The other party counted carefully, and then said to Xiaomei.

"Buy ten and get one free." Xiaomei said with a straight face.

Buy ten get one free is the slogan that Ronggui came up with, but unfortunately, this customer always buys three or five, and he never used a discount.

But now, he finally enjoys this discount.

Seeing him take the flowerpot, Ronggui looked down.

In the dark, he couldn't see the other party's expression, but Ronggui always felt that the other party seemed very happy.

"Can I come over to buy ground beans from you in the future?" After a while, the other party raised his head again, and Ronggui heard him ask Xiang Xiaomei this way.

"Yes." Xiaomei nodded.

"Oh." The other party also nodded, without any greeting, he and his companion walked straight towards the elevator.

Ronggui looked at the opponent's back reflexively.

He thought that the other party would swipe his card to open the elevator, but who knew...

The elevator door didn't open, and the figure of the other party just disappeared in front of the elevator so suddenly!

It was hard to believe his eyes, Ronggui deliberately took out a small handkerchief to wipe his eyeballs, and then tugged Xiaomei's arm.

Holding Xiaomei and running to the elevator, Ronggui observed carefully for a long time, but...no!nothing!

He couldn't see how the other party disappeared!

In the end, Xiaomei took out the 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 stayed there for a long time before Ronggui noticed a row of round holes there.

Very thin, very small, neatly arranged in a rectangular shape, and the area is not large.

"That's the ventilation duct, that's where the other party should have gone just now." Xiaomei said, making sure that Ronggui had seen enough, he put the flashlight back.

It's... so incredible!

Even if he left through the ventilation duct... the opponent's speed is too fast, right?

The speed of the blink of an eye!

No!Not even the blink of an eye!

But in this way, he finally understood why he couldn't meet that ghost guest every time before.
