Chapter 15 Information about He Rouyi
Li Jiu turned to Tang Mubai: "Professor He hung up, why don't you call back?"
Tang Mubai's eyes lit up, and he instantly perked up with a cheeky grin: "Great idea! Let's take turns having long phone conversations with him, bombarding him with calls until he can't sleep. Let's see how he drags us hiking tomorrow!"
Li Jiu was bewildered by Tang Mubai's wild imagination: "Stop fooling around, we're talking about serious matters."
"If it's serious business... I suggest we sneak away..."
"Holy crap." Li Jiu was stunned by Tang Mubai's actions. He had just dealt with the professor and was already thinking about his escape plan. "Are you a double agent?"
"Nonsense! Can you tell the truth over the phone? That's called strategic deception!" Tang Mubai ignored Li Jiu's doubts, with a "too young, too simple" expression on his face. "I just secretly contacted my old man, and he sent a helicopter to pick us up overnight."
"When it gets there, we'll jump out the window and run!"
"Wait, do I have to jump too?"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Even if I was leaving, I didn't plan to leave overnight. You forgot we can't open the window?"
"Yeah, I forgot about it because I called too quickly. I'll change the time before he leaves." Tang Mubai immediately looked down and tapped the screen.
Li Jiu looked at Tang Mubai in disbelief: "No, are you serious?"
He thought Tang Mubai was just joking.
After all, compared to summoning a helicopter in the middle of the night, the act of sliding in and using the invincible whirlwind to sweep away the flying dragon servant is more realistic.
The result was actually the opposite.
Tang Mubai showed Li Jiu the WeChat chat, and what Tang Mubai said was actually true.
This is so dreamy.
Li Jiu was a little confused. He had always thought that Tang Mubai was just an "ordinary rich second generation", but it turned out that he actually had the power to make money.
"No way..." Li Jiu felt his worldview crumbling. "You can send a helicopter into the mountains to rescue people, so why are you coming here to freeload off Professor He's paltry summer camp?"
Tang Mubai pursed his lips, looking completely matter-of-fact: "There's no conflict! It's like playing a game. Normally, you use your legs to explore and enjoy the scenery, but if a boss blocks your respawn point, who wouldn't use a teleport scroll?"
"The difference is that, at the most crucial moment, some people still have to run on foot, while others can use teleportation!"
"Look, I've changed the schedule. Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Tang Mubai looked at Li Jiu with an extremely serious expression, without a trace of joking.
Li Jiu didn't hesitate at all: "Let's go! Of course we're going!"
Of course, we should just go first and think about it later. Any exploration and curiosity must be based on being alive.
"Okay." Tang Mubai nodded and shrank back into the blankets.
Li Jiu sighed softly.
Looking down, he suddenly realized that He Rouyi had already replied to him while he was on the phone with Professor He.
[He Rouyi: It seems there are more and more anomalies in Fulong Mountain...]
[Ho Yu-Yi: Tomorrow... could you do me a favor? If you have time, could you help me check the hotel's security camera footage?]
[Ho Yu-Yi: I want to see what she looks like.]
Li Jiu felt an overwhelming sense of frustration.
No? Girl, you called me just to talk about this?
You! Go sit at the same table as Zhou Hao!
He thought about it and replied anyway:
[Li Jiu: I'll try it tomorrow.]
[Ho Yu-Yi: Thank you.]
"You're welcome," Li Jiu replied silently in his mind.
Drawing a pie in the sky costs nothing, after all.
He can ask the front desk of the Mushroom House before he leaves tomorrow; if that doesn't work, then he'll just have to forget about it.
The chat was supposed to end here. Li Jiu planned to go through the Mushroom House rules one last time before going to bed, then go to the bathroom, turn off the lights and the power, scroll through his phone, and then sleep soundly until dawn.
But then another message popped up on the screen.
[Ho Yu-yee: (Image)]
Li Jiu clicked on the picture with a puzzled look.
The picture shows a sunny girl wearing a refreshing pleated skirt, leaning slightly forward like a little duck, with a bright smile, bright eyes and white teeth, exuding an indescribable liveliness.
But the moment Li Jiu saw that face clearly, a strong chill, like countless venomous snakes, burrowed out of the phone screen, crawled into his body through his fingers, and then danced wildly on the top of his head.
His pupils contracted sharply. The girl with the bright smile in the photo He Rouyi sent was clearly the dragon servant he had encountered today!
Li Jiu's mind flashed through He Rouyi's blurry image, and then he gradually realized that He Rouyi's appearance was seven or eight parts similar to that of the girl!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging waves of emotion, and sent a message.
[Li Jiu: Who is she?]
[Ho Yu-Yi: Have you seen her?]
With just one sentence from Li Jiu, He Rouyi keenly grasped the key information!
[Li Jiu: The weirdo I encountered today...]
Li Jiu silently deleted the word "monster".
[...it might be her.]
Li Jiu asked the question again.
[Li Jiu: What is your relationship with her?]
WeChat showed "The other party is typing," but after typing for a long time, only a few words were sent to Li Jiu:
[Ho Yu-yee: She is my sister.]
[Li Jiu: Oh, you bastard!]
[Li Jiu: I mean, how did your sister end up on Fulong Mountain? And how did she become like this?]
A vague unease and a morbid desire to investigate surged into his heart at the same time.
Just then, his phone vibrated.
[Ho Yu-yee initiated a voice call]
Li Jiu looked at the flashing invitation, pursed his lips, and pressed the answer button.
"Feed..." A sweet voice, yet tinged with barely perceptible fatigue, came from the other end of the phone.
Tang Mubai, in the next bed, instantly seemed to have a radar activated, popping his head out from under the covers with a sly look in his eyes: "Huh?! A girl's voice? Who is it?"
His eyes were sharp, carrying a hint of murderous intent, and beneath the covers he seemed like an old turtle about to leap up in the Tongtian River.
He Rouyi's sweet voice came through: "Um, is there anyone with you?"
Li Jiu glanced at Tang Mubai: "He's my roommate. We were both chased by your sister... He's the one who slid in and swept your sister away with his invincible whirlwind."
Tang Mubai: "???"
Not a buddy?
What are you saying?
Wait a minute! "Your sister?!"
That dragon servant's...older sister?!
Damn, we beat up the kid, and now the old guy's here?!
Wait a minute, isn't this plot and art style a bit off?!
Will Long Shi make a phone call?
For a moment, Tang Mubai's forehead seemed to be filled with a large number of advanced mathematics symbols and bizarre formulas. He stood on the bed like a dumb cat, unable to get his brain back to normal.
He Rouyi's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "I've met that Tang Mubai. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would dare to attack my sister. The chat in the group seems more like empty talk to me. You know what, he seems quite interesting..."
As Tang Mubai listened from the side, he inexplicably felt a tickle in his nose, as if a small red ball was about to pop out.
He Rouyi didn't waste any more words on Tang Mubai. Her voice suddenly lowered, and her tone became somewhat urgent: "Li Jiu... when you saw her, how much... did she still look like a 'human'?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiu, recalling everything that had happened before, couldn't help but ask, "Do you also know something? What exactly is going on with Fulong Mountain?"
