Chapter 7: The Devil in Protective Suit 2
Bang!
I was awakened by a loud bang from somewhere. I opened my eyes blearily and what I saw was not the familiar bedroom, but a room that looked like a hospital ward.
There was nothing in the room but snow-white walls and a black door, and I was lying on a small iron bed covered with white sheets.
I jumped up and rushed to the door, turning the doorknob hard, but it wouldn't turn. The door was locked.
"Is there anyone here? Someone come?" I banged on the door and shouted.
But I almost shouted until my throat was broken, and no one answered me.
I leaned against the door and listened carefully, but I could hear no sound. It was so quiet that it made me feel uneasy.
At this time, I saw the schoolbag hanging beside the bed, so I hurried over to pick it up and found that the mobile phone was still in the bag.
"Very good!"
As soon as I cheered, I was dismayed to find that the signal bar of my phone was a big cross, which meant that the phone had no signal and could not make the call.
Am I in an extremely secluded forest deep in the mountains?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I immediately remembered another very important thing, that is - even in a place where there is no mobile phone signal, you can dial 110 and seek police help.
So I immediately pressed 110, but all I got was a "beep...", which meant a long busy tone indicating that the call could not be connected.
What's going on? Even if I'm in the mountains and there's no signal, 110 should be able to get through.
I slumped down on the bed in frustration, biting my lip and began to think about what had happened.
A strange man, a weird old radio, a taxi, a sweet aroma...
Yes, I smelled a particularly sweet smell in the taxi, suddenly felt very tired, and fell asleep immediately.
It seems that I have been kidnapped again unfortunately.
But I was not afraid at all, because according to past experience, no matter how vicious the kidnappers were, as long as they talked to me, they would soon be moved by my beautiful smile, and would not only confess to me honestly and change their ways, but would also send me home immediately. So I did not need to be afraid or panic, I just had to wait quietly for the kidnappers to appear.
After analyzing the situation, I calmed down completely. Although I knew they would not hurt me, it was boring to be locked up in such an empty room. Besides, I had many important things to do. How could I waste time here? No, I had to leave here quickly, so I walked to the door and shouted again.
"Someone come..."
After calling for several minutes, there was still silence outside the door and no response.
I laughed happily and clenched my fists, just about to hit the door when I heard a few "puff" sounds and several streams of white gas poured out from all directions of the room. At the same time, a strong fragrance surrounded me.
This familiar smell...isn't it the same smell I smelled in the taxi? I was horrified and just as I was about to hold my breath, my head became dizzy and I knew nothing.
I don't know how long it took, but I woke up in a daze and found myself sitting on the green grass leaning against a big tree. The midday sun was very bright, and there were several beautiful butterflies flying in the air. There were many tall trees around, and there were many lush bushes around the trees.
I stroked my forehead, puzzled by the scene before me.
Wasn't I kidnapped and held in a blank room? Why did I wake up here? Did I dream about being kidnapped, or am I still dreaming?
Gu...
My stomach growled loudly, and I realized that I was already starving.
No matter what, eating is the most important thing. Let's eat our fill first and then figure out all the problems. But where can we get food?
Just when I was worried, a fragrance suddenly wafted over.
"Ah! It's the smell of freshly-baked cakes!" I excitedly walked towards the direction where the smell came from.
After walking for several minutes, I saw a white building. Outside the building, there was a long dining table full of food, and a man was placing silver tableware with his back to me.
Ahhh, chocolate Black Forest cake, golden and soft mango pudding, crystal clear strawberry milk jelly...
I walked quickly to the man and whispered, "Hello, sir, can you please tell me where this place is?"
The busy man stood up and looked at me: "Hello, Miss Huang Yaxi."
He had short, messy chestnut hair that covered most of his eyes. He was not very tall, wearing a gray sweater, and had overly pale skin.
I was stunned. "How do you know my name? Hey, you look familiar? Ah!" I pointed at him and screamed, "Aren't you the guy who insisted that I hold the weird radio?"
He smiled shyly: "It is my honor to be remembered by Miss Huang Yaxi. "
I took a few steps back in fear, turned around and tried to run, but then another fragrance wafted over, and my feet suddenly felt like they were nailed down, and I couldn't lift them up.
"Ms. Huang Yaxi, the weather is so nice, don't you want to sit down and have a cup of afternoon tea?" The man bent down politely and made a gesture of invitation.
I wanted to run, but I was so hungry and the cakes smelled so good, so I hesitated for a few seconds and then mustered up the courage to sit down.
The man poured me a cup of black tea and placed tableware in front of me: "Please try some snacks."
"Thanks."
I cut a piece of Black Forest cake into small pieces quickly and gracefully without any hesitation and put them in my mouth.
"Wow!"
I covered my mouth in surprise: "This cake is so delicious. The chocolate is very pure, the cake is soft and melts in your mouth, and the cream inside is even more mellow and rich, so good!"
"I am deeply honored by your compliment." The man sitting opposite me raised his glass to me.
His words stunned me. I almost couldn't believe it and said, "You made all these cakes?"
"Yes. My biggest hobby is baking cakes, especially when ." He stretched his hands out and leaned back in his chair, looking very distressed. "Unfortunately, I have encountered a particularly big problem now, and I can't solve it no matter what, so..." He waved his hands at the table, "These are all evidence of my entanglement."
"I see." I recalled that he had asked me to hold that strange old-fashioned radio and asked curiously, "What is your job?"
He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I am a person who is full of curiosity about many things, so I often do some interesting things to satisfy this curiosity."
"Why did you ask me to get that thing? If I'm not mistaken, it's an old radio, right?" I immediately asked, "What does it have to do with your curiosity? And why do you want my help?"
He laughed: "It is very important. As for why I want your help, it is to confirm a guess of mine."
"Guess? What kind of guess is it?"
My curiosity was completely piqued, but he just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
"Please, can you please tell me? I really want to know." I tilted my head and smiled sweetly, looking into his eyes intently.
Hehe, from childhood to adulthood, as long as I use this trick, no matter who it is, they will agree to my request. It works every time.
He held up a finger and shook it left and right: "Ms. Huang Yaxi, although you are very beautiful and very cute, this is my secret and I will never tell you."
I narrowed my eyes, feeling very unhappy.
Originally, I didn't really need to know what the conjecture was, but he refused to tell me and said it was his secret. This made me determined to know the truth.
"Please, please, please tell me, I will keep it a secret." I lowered my voice and moved closer to him before continuing to ask.
His face flushed, his eyes wandered, and he stammered, "I'm actually a biologist. My research topic is about human potential..."
Beep, beep, beep…
A rapid and high-pitched ringing sounded from his clothes, interrupting his words. He froze for a moment, then suddenly jumped up as if frightened, took a big step back, and then suddenly rushed into the white building.
I was very surprised by his inexplicable behavior. After sitting there for a while, at a loss, I decided to go to the white building to find him.
I had no idea where this place was, and he was the only person I saw, so I had no choice but to ask him for help.
When I approached the white building, I found that it was shaped like a pair of outstretched white wings. It had four floors in total. Each window was inlaid with a varying number of red diamond decorations. There were seven spires of different heights on the roof. The colors were exactly red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
"It's so ugly." I couldn't help but sigh, "It must be a strange architect who could design a house like this, right?"
I walked to the door he had just rushed in through. The door was closed, but there were three round doorbells lined up on it. After thinking for a moment, I pressed the doorbell on the right.
Blue electric current shot up from my fingertips, flowed rapidly into my body, and then I knew nothing.
