Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Scared?
"Where did you go?" Zhengwu stood at the gate, looking at the few people who came back together. "The snacks that Huaxue made this afternoon were good, but some of them are still cold... What's going on?!"
Zhengwu looked at Huaxue, who was lying motionless in Gu Chen's arms with his hands and feet missing, and his voice trembled.
"She was hit by a car..." Gu Chen quickly recounted the whole cause and effect. Zhengshuo clenched his fists and couldn't help asking Biology: "So did she go back?"
Biology didn't say anything and walked in without looking back.
Zhenghui clicked his tongue and said, "I'll go call Lu Xun."
Gu Chen looked at the creature's back as he left, his expression solemn.
"You go ahead." English put the crying Geography on the sofa and covered him with a small blanket. "I'll take care of Lu Xun."
Gu Chen paused and put the Chemistry in the hand that English stretched out: "Thank you."
The Biology room is at the innermost of the dolls' living area. When Gu Chen walked to the door, he found that it was not closed tightly. A beam of dim light came through the gap in the door, and there was a gurgling sound from inside.
He knocked on the door tentatively, but there was no response from inside. Just as he was about to knock again, a dark purple pupil suddenly appeared in the crack of the door.
Gu Chen was startled and instinctively took two steps back. The cotton chin twitched twice in the air.
"What's the matter?" The creature's voice came from the crack. It feels like walking into a horror movie.
"What happened just now." Gu Chen calmed down, "I have two more questions to ask you..."
Creature: "I'm busy."
He was about to close the door when Gu Chen suddenly pressed his hand against the crack in the door with such great force that it didn't seem like he had just traveled through time.
"Just two minutes." Gu Chen's face showed a rare look of anxiety.
The creature paused, then slowly withdrew its hand from the door.
Gu Chen saw him turn around and walk into the room, and followed him in.
The creature's room was three times larger than his and had very high ceilings.
On the wall facing the door of the room stood four cylindrical petri dishes about 2 meters high, filled with a strange green liquid that was bubbling. Four cotton dolls of different sizes floated in the middle, looking like human experimental subjects captured by perverted scientists as samples in the movies.
There was a thick cable-like object inserted at the bottom of the culture dish, and the end was connected to a huge computer host.
Gu Chen stared at everything in front of him in amazement.
The creature walked to the display screen. The screen was so large that it was as big as half the size of a movie theater screen. The keyboard connected to the front looked as small as a toy in comparison.
Biology sat on the ground and typed on the keyboard as if he was playing a game with a controller: "If you want to ask me how to get back, I don't have much to say."
Gu Chen came back to his senses from the inexplicable sense of déjà vu of a cotton doll playing video games in the perverted science laboratory. He looked at the graphics with English characters that appeared on the display: "Are you doing MDS?"
Biology paused and looked up at him: "Do you understand it?"
He remembered that Gu Chen should be about the same age as that little brat Lu Xun.
"I know a little." Gu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "My father is a professor of psychology."
The creature asked, "What's his name?"
Gu Chen: "Luo Wenzhe."
The creature was stunned. When he was still a human, although he was not a professional psychologist and not even a Chinese citizen, the name Gu Chen mentioned was known to everyone in the scientific community. He had met Luo Wenzhe a few times, but that person had passed away several years ago. And because it was an unnatural death, his story was circulated in the circle for a while.
Biology looked at Gu Chen: "Are you living with your mother now?"
Gu Chen knew more or less about his father's status in the academic world, so he was not surprised by Biology's reaction: "And my brother."
Biology stopped typing and stood up: "The chemistry thing is just a coincidence."
He walked to the wall, stood in front of one of the petri dishes, and looked at the doll inside expressionlessly: "This kid used to be here. He was hit by a car before you came."
Gu Chen looked at the doll floating in the middle of the columnar petri dish in surprise. His eyes were empty, without highlights. Looking closely, there were traces of black stitches on his face, stomach, and legs. There was also a string of words on his right arm: Completed Danyuan No. 1 Middle School Customized Psychology Test Book Three and Four.
The mission did not disappear and there were no vital signs.
Creature: "He is completely dead."
The cold voice echoed in the huge space, making people feel creepy.
Gu Chen felt his throat was a little dry: "I don't think I've heard Zheng Zi and the others mention it."
"Nonsense, they weren't here at that time." The creature folded his arms across his chest, acting like a veteran, "If you don't want to become like him, just wait for a year."
Gu Chen thought of the creature's three consecutive travels, and he was still a little unwilling to give up: "Have you ever done research on the probability of going back and the probability of death under strong stimulation..."
"I've only seen the one who went back today." The creature interrupted him, "The mortality rate is 99.9%."
After coming out of the creature's room, Gu Chen wanted to go back to the room directly, but suddenly heard Zheng Zi's gritting teeth voice coming from the direction of the living room: "Can't you be more tactful when speaking?"
Gu Chen paused, turned and walked towards the living room. When he turned the corner of the corridor, he was caught off guard and bumped into something hard. When I looked up, I saw Lu Xun's handsome face appear in front of me.
Seeing the little guy at his feet looking at him in a daze, Lu Xun slowly squatted down and asked: "Are you scared?"
His voice was softer than usual, which made people inexplicably have an illusion of tenderness.
"What?" Gu Chen's thoughts were a little distracted.
Lu Xun: "It happened in the afternoon."
Gu Chen reacted and shook his head: "It's okay. I just don't know if she felt pain before she went back."
After all, the car ran over Hua Xue's feet first, and then her soul left her body.
Lu Xun didn't say anything. He raised his hand and gently touched Gu Chen's head.
Gu Chen was stunned, and before he could react, Lu Xun took his hand back.
He turned his head and asked: "Which branch did he and Huahe go to last time?"
Zhengzhu stood behind and said, "The one on Kangfu Road."
Lu Xun didn't stand up, but squatted beside Gu Chen and checked his phone. Gu Chen watched him pull up a branch of a dessert chain on Dianping.com.
Gu Chen suddenly remembered that Dili seemed to like desserts very much: "How is little Dili?"
Zhengxi sighed: "I'm very sad. After all, it is Chemistry who takes care of him usually."
Even though they knew that Chemistry had just returned to the normal world, the sudden separation was still difficult for a child with a soul of only 7 years old to accept, not to mention that the way he went back was really a bit bloody.
Gu Chen thought of Geography's sobbing on the way back in the afternoon, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and soon he looked up as if he remembered something: "Does Chemistry know the address of this place? Will she come back to see us after she turns back into a human?"
Zhengshu became excited when he heard it: "I just said that. And then this person..."
Zhengshu pointed at Lu Xun who was chatting with the customer service of the dessert shop, and complained: "You may not be able to tell with other people's children."
Lu Xun typed without looking up: "I am telling the truth."
Political silence.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this matter of chemistry was unprecedented. Not to mention whether she would come back to see them after she returned, it was also a question whether she could see them after she became a human.
But he was still unhappy: "You should say it's possible, not not necessarily."
Lu Xun didn't say anything and typed faster and faster. Gu Chen glanced at the screen and saw the store’s reply saying it was too late and they could not deliver the goods.
Lu Xun: 500 delivery fee, will you deliver it or not
? Gu Chen:?
If he was not mistaken, the store should be only 8 kilometers away from here.
Two minutes later, the other end replied: Sorry, dear, the raw materials for the model you ordered have run out today. Do you want to change to another model? QAQ
Lu Xun clicked his tongue lightly.
Politics: “Can’t make a reservation?”
Lu Xun shook his head.
Gu Chen: "Does Geography want some snacks?"
Lu Xun: "He wants snacks with a chemistry taste."
"What chemistry taste?" Politics couldn't stand it anymore, "You really should study Chinese well. He wants snacks that taste like his mother."
After all, Chemistry usually treats Geography like its son.
Gu Chen nodded vigorously. Lu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you also want to eat snacks that taste like your mom's?"
Gu Chen stopped nodding halfway, just like a car that suddenly ran out of gas halfway through. After a long while, he said, "You should study Chinese well."
Lu Xun looked at him for a while and turned his head: "You don't know how to do what Chemistry usually does?"
Zhenghui frowned unhappily: "Everyone has things they are not good at."
Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen and said calmly: "I heard you." "
..." Gu Chen took a breath and tried to calm down before speaking, "Is it the flower cake you brought to my room yesterday?"
Zhenghui nodded, a little helpless: "The chemist lives in Yunnan and usually makes money by selling cakes. Only she knows how to make that thing. We..."
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun: "Can I use the kitchen?"
There are a total of 3 kitchens in Lu Xun's house, but the only one we are using is the small kitchen where the hourly aunt usually comes to cook for Lu Xun, which is about 20 square meters.
Gu Chen found a bag of flour and a jar of honey from the refrigerator. The cabinet for seasonings was on the counter. Gu Chen jumped onto the table, stood on tiptoe to open the cabinet door, and saw a small jar of lard at a glance.
After looking around the cabinet, Gu Chen found a large bottle of olive oil in the corner of the cabinet. The oil bottle was taller than Gu Chen. He tried his best to stand on tiptoe as high as possible and tried to reach it with all his might - but
he couldn't.
Gu Chen exhaled and was about to jump up to grab the bottle when a white, slender hand suddenly appeared above his head and took the bottle down with ease.
Gu Chen turned around and saw Lu Xun standing behind him holding a flower basket filled with red roses that had just been picked from the rooftop. There were still water droplets on the petals, and the colors were brilliant and eye-catching, making Lu Xun's originally somewhat cold temperament look a bit brighter.
Gu Chen blinked slowly.
Lu Xun: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Gu Chen then realized that it was impolite to stare at someone, so he looked away and smiled, "You look like someone who walked out of an art album."
