Chapter 5: Shock in the Archives Room 4
"It's the teacher on duty." Mamali said pleasantly, "That's great..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground outside, and at the same time, the teacher shouted: "Hurry up, there are bad guys in the school!"
A sharp whistle broke the silence of the night, mixed with curses: "Damn it, this guy even blew the whistle."
"I haven't found the item yet, what should I do?"
"It's already like this, what else can we do? Let's go first."
"Da da da……"
The hurried footsteps left the archive room, becoming smaller and smaller until they could no longer be heard. The people who had been hiding in the small room, not daring to breathe, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
"My feet are numb." Mama Li rubbed her feet and pondered, "Who do you think just now came? I think it's very likely the Time and Space Killer."
Wei Xi said doubtfully: "Isn't it possible?"
"It's possible." Wei Lixuan snapped his fingers and gave Mama Li an approving look. "Besides the time-space killer who has the same goal as us, who else would need the information of the students in this school?"
Hearing Wei Lixuan say this, Wei Xi immediately stood up nervously : "Then what are we waiting for, let's go out and take a look, ouch..."
She got up so quickly that she completely forgot that her legs were still numb. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand and fell to the side. Fortunately, Error Code 123 was quick to catch her.
"Slow down." Error Code 123 supported Wei Xi and said.
Mamali looked at them with envy: "It's great to have a brother. Wei Xi has a brother with high IQ, Meng Jinjin has a brother with high looks, why don't I have such a good brother?"
When Wei Xi heard what Mamali said, she couldn't help but say, "Do you think Meng Jinjin is happy to have a brother like that? Maybe she will always live in the shadow."
"What shadow? What are you talking about?" Mamali tilted her head, put her hands together on her cheeks, and said intoxicatedly, "It's such a proud thing to have a brother like that!"
"Maybe Meng Jinjin doesn't want a brother like this at all. Don't you think her attitude towards her brother is too cold?" Wei Xi obviously didn't want to say it, but couldn't control his mouth.
Mama Li shrugged and said, "Of course it's because Meng Jinjin has such a bad personality. Senior Meng is so nice, he must be very good to my sister too."
"Are you so sure that it's Meng Jinjin's fault?" There was a flame flickering in Wei Xi's heart.
Mama Li didn't notice and said nonchalantly, "Of course. Although Meng Jinjin is pretty and has good grades, not many people like her. If she wasn't Meng's sister, she would have been isolated long ago."
Wei Xi was about to retort when Zhang Zhi, standing at the door, urged, "Hey, why don't you come out?"
"Coming, coming." Mamali hurried out.
"Wei Xi, let's go too." Error Code 123 pushed Wei Xi's shoulder with his hand.
After taking several deep breaths, Wei Xi finally managed to get rid of the sudden anger in her heart: "Yeah."
The archive room that had been tidy just a moment ago was now in a mess, with scattered file bags everywhere. Several cabinets were smashed open, with the doors standing miserably on both sides, and some cabinets were smashed out of shape, like gaping bloody mouths, but they were still locked tightly.
Wei Lixuan put his hands into a "mouth" and pulled hard to both sides, his face flushed red, but he still failed to open it successfully.
After Zhang Zhi quickly sorted the scattered files into a few small piles, he said, "Wei Xi, Ma Ma Li, Wei Yi, let's check these files first, and leave the cabinet matters to Wei Lixuan. He's very strong, and maybe he can pry open a few more smashed cabinets."
"Hey, shouldn't we run first?" Error Code 123 said in astonishment. "It was such a commotion just now, and the teacher even blew the whistle to alert the police. Someone should be here soon. Why are you still planning to continue checking the files?"
Wei Lixuan said proudly: "Don't worry, I just put a homemade hypnotic bomb at the door. Anyone who comes close will fall asleep due to inhaling the hypnotic gas. Since we are here, how can we return empty-handed?" After he finished speaking, he shouted, and the cabinet door was forced open.
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
Just as everyone was amazed, a loud shout was suddenly heard: "Don't move!"
Before anyone could react, several strong men suddenly rushed in from the door and surrounded them.
Wei Xi looked carefully: Oh my God, it’s the police!
"You have been arrested. Do not resist. Just follow us." Perhaps because they were not very old, the police did not use handcuffs, but directly escorted them into the police car.
"Listen, if the police ask, just say we came to school for fun and adventure, and accidentally found that the archive room was not closed, so we went in . As for who beat up the teacher, we just tell the truth and say we don't know and didn't see what the other person looked like." In the police car, Wei Lixuan whispered to everyone to tell the same story.
Wei Xi nodded first, then said quietly: "I just want to know how the police got into the archives room."
Wei Lixuan said a little embarrassedly: "I threw the hypnotic bullet out and closed the door. Maybe the hypnotic bullet didn't work..." Seeing that everyone was looking at him with contempt, he hurriedly said, "I promise I won't make this mistake again next time."
"Do you think there will be a next time?" everyone said in unison.
The policeman sitting in the driver's seat suddenly opened the small partition window in the car and said sternly: "No talking!" Everyone was so scared that they dared not say a word.
After entering the police station, they were locked up in separate small rooms. Wei Xi was interrogated by an older police officer, and she answered according to what Wei Lixuan said.
After the police left, Wei Xi began to feel uneasy.
I wonder how my father and mother will react? Will they not care, or will they scold her?
What if she is scolded?
She was lost in thought for a long time, when suddenly the door opened with a click, and her father and mother appeared at the door.
"Xiao Xi, you really scared me to death." Mom rushed over and hugged Wei Xi to check her up and down. "Are you hurt? You are such a naughty child. You ran to school to take risks so late at night. I heard that you met vicious bad guys. I was really worried to death. Fortunately, you are okay."
Mixi thought of various possibilities, but she had never considered this situation. Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly saw Error Code 123 standing next to her father. It noticed that Mixi was looking at it, smiled and adjusted its glasses, and Mixi immediately knew why her mother reacted like this.
Dad came over and said, "Weixi, Xiaoyi, let's go home."
Wei Xi thought of the others and asked the police: "Excuse me, how are my classmates?"
The policeman was filling out a form. After hearing what Wei Xi said, he looked up and said, "The girl's parents have come and taken her away. The families of the two boys have not been contacted, so they are still here."
Wei Xi looked at Error Code 123 hesitantly, and Error Code 123 asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"
"I'm wondering what Wei Lixuan will do. If no one comes, won't he be locked up here forever?" Wei Xi answered softly.
Error code 123 thought for a moment and said to the police: "Can we go see them, please?"
The policeman said nonchalantly, "Sure. Just go forward and turn right."
"Dad, Mom, we want to go see our classmates. Can you wait for us?" Error code 123 said to his parents with a smile on his face.
Of course mom and dad agreed, so Wei Xi and Error Code 123 hurried to find Zhang Zhi and Wei Lixuan.
They were sitting there dejectedly, and when they saw Wei Xi and Error Code 123 coming, they were very surprised: "Wei Xi, Wei Yi, why are you here?"
"My parents are here, so we are free." Wei Xi said quickly, "Wei Lixuan, what are you going to do? You don't have any family members who can come to the police station."
Zhang Zhi said depressedly: "I thought I could ask my family to take him out, but I didn't expect that my family couldn't find him."
"How come we can't find them?" Wei Xi asked curiously, "Have they not returned home yet?"
"My family is very busy and often not at home. Even if they are at home, they may be called away at any time." Zhang Zhi said dejectedly, "And sometimes they don't come home for several days. This is over. We may have to stay here forever."
Wei Xi looked at them sympathetically, and suddenly thought of a solution. He said to Error Code 123, "Xiaoyi, can you go and convince mom and dad to take them out as well?"
Error code 123 scratched his head and said awkwardly: "No."
"Ah, why?" Wei Xi asked curiously, not expecting to hear a negative answer at all.
"Because it ran out of power." Error Code 123 said unhappily, "This is just a toy designed to make children feel close to robots, and to prevent bad people from using it to cheat others, so it has great limitations in design. When I used it to stop my parents from scolding us, the power ran out."
Wei Xi was dumbfounded: "What should we do then?" She looked at the pitiful Zhang Zhi and the silent Wei Lixuan.
"It's okay, it's just a few days of absence from school, don't worry about us." Wei Lixuan said nonchalantly. Zhang Zhi also wanted to pretend to be nonchalant, but his frown still betrayed his true thoughts.
Wei Xi recalled what happened to her and said excitedly, "No, I must go out with you."
"Then go and discuss it with your parents." Error Code 123 said directly, "Is there anything that cannot be discussed between family members? Have you never discussed things with them before?"
Wei Xi thought of her previous parents, her eyes dimmed, and she said, "Yeah, I have never discussed anything with my parents, because..." Because there was no need to discuss it at all, as long as she proposed it, her parents would definitely agree.
She used to think that this was because her parents doted on her, but later she realized that this attitude was more like a way of making up for it. As for her current parents, firstly, she is always worried that she will be found out that she is not their real daughter; secondly, they are more like the parents in TV dramas, strict and controlling. Wei Xi is afraid of making them unhappy, so she will not think of communicating directly.
"Xiao Xi, don't worry. Mom and Dad are reasonable people. As long as we communicate well, there will be no problem." Error Code 123 patted Wei Xi's shoulder and encouraged her.
Seeing that Wei Xi was still hesitating, it said, "How about this, you go and discuss it with your parents first. If it doesn't work, I will charge the glasses when I get home, and then help you convince your parents to pick them up, okay?"
"Okay..." Wei Xi finally nodded.
Wei Xi walked over to her parents who were already impatiently waiting, and mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, Mom, please help my classmates and take them out together."
My mother said angrily, "Why? Besides, they have their own families, why do they need our help?"
Wei Xi tried her best to calm down and tried to persuade her parents: "Zhang Zhi and Wei Lixuan's family are very busy and often not at home. They are my friends, I can't just watch them wait in the police station for several days, right? Please, help them."
Seeing that Wei Xi kept begging, Dad softened his heart and said, "Okay, then, let's..."
"No, I don't agree." Mom refused to give in. "They are all boys. It's unreliable for them to come up with the idea of running to school in the middle of the night. They even tempted you girls to come along. I don't trust friends like this. Not only will I not help, but Xiaoxi will also cut off all ties with them in the future."
"What?" Wei Xi was stunned, and then shouted unconvinced, "Why do you want me to break up with them? Mom, you don't know what I'm like in school at all. It's too much to make such a rash decision!"
"Hmph, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' If you want to make friends, you should make friends with good students who are both good in character and academic performance, instead of hanging out with bad guys like these." Mom began to nag incessantly.
Weixi covered her ears tightly with her hands. She was disgusted by her mother's words and felt very annoyed. She remembered that when she heard others complain about their parents being too controlling and unreasonable in the past, she thought that they were not grateful for what they had. Now she began to miss her parents who completely let her be free.
Although they were not by her side most of the time and could only express their apologies through phone calls and video calls when she needed care, they were also democratic and open-minded parents who respected all her wishes and supported all her ideas.
In the end, it was her father who saved her and agreed to take Zhang Zhi and Wei Lixuan out.
"Hmph, you two, father and daughter, are just venting your anger on each other. I don't care anymore!" Mom concluded angrily.
