Chapter 15: Being Questioned
Xiang Nu didn’t seem to notice the notebook either. Holding the capsule, he asked Yu Su, “Is this really a life jacket? Can it help us pa.s.s the silver light clearance mission?”
Yu Su said lightly, “I found this from the monster’s closet. I’m not a monster, so how do I know the truth?”
Xiangnu squeezed the capsule seriously, twisted tentatively when he touched the link interface, and put Yu Su’s words behind him as if he didn’t hear it.
Yu Su wasn’t annoyed either, staring at Xiangnu’s side profile. The more he looked, the more lovely it became.
Xiangnu’s fingernails dug back and forth in the seam of the capsule. After a long time, he finally pried open the tight seam. He was a little surprised and continued to work hard along the enlarged gap. Finally, he broke the capsule open. A silky and supple dress slipped out of the capsule and was grabbed by Xiangnu hurriedly in his arms.
Yu Su reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed the clothe from Xiangnu’s hand, Xiangnu tried to grab it but quickly let go. He quietly stuffed another capsule into his pocket, but the capsule was too big resulting in his trouser pockets bulging. Xiangnu didn’t care though. He asked curiously, “Mr Yu, what does this life jacket look like?”
Yu Su grabbed the dress in his hand and asked lightly, “You came to the cab to find this thing?”
Xiangnu replied obediently, “Almost, I just wanted to find out if there was any escape item, so I’m surprised to find the life jacket so smoothly.”
Yu Su didn’t speak, Xiangnu was silent for two seconds and then took the initiative to say, “Actually, I’m not sure there must be an escape item on the train, and even if there is, I’m not sure what form that item would exist in. After all, the sphinx looks quite powerful. It doesn’t look like it had to use escape items. But there are always accidents, and the train must have prepared escape routes just in case. And if there are escape items on the train, they shouldn’t be in the carriage. Chen Chengen and the others checked the carriage thoroughly. Mr Chen is quite careful. If there is something in the carriage, he must have told us. Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn’t hide it from the sight of so many people.”
“And since there are no escape items in the No. 1 compartment, other compartments are no exception. The only thing that is most likely to be loaded is, the cab.”
Xiangnu held the capsule, but his expression was a little dazed, “It’s just that this thing we got too easily, I always feel a little overwhelmed.”
Yu Su asked, “Do you think this life jacket is reliable? Can it take you out of that silver light?”
Xiangnu pursed his lips, and he said blankly, “I don’t know, but I want to give it a try.”
Yu Su looked at him, “Find someone to try it for you first, okay?”
Xiangnu asked, “Why? Mr Yu, do you think this is very unsafe?”
Yu Su laughed and said nothing.
Xiangnu reached out to him and asked in a low voice, “Mr Yu, give me the life jacket.”
Yu Su glanced at him, shook the life jacket in his hand, turned it over and over to look at it, and finally threw it down from the top of Xiangnu. The silky cloak slowly floated down, covering Xiang Shou tightly.
Xiangnu called out softly and said in a panic, “Mr Yu, what are you doing?”
Yu Su smiled when he looked at him in a fumbling look and straightened the cloak for him.
This life jacket was of cloak style, pure white, very glossy, and it was very wide. On Xiang Nu’s body, which was slender and tall, made him look a little pet.i.te.
Yu Su carefully put on the cloak for him and put on the loose hood to cover the upper half of Xiangnu’s face, revealing only his well-shaped lips.
After the cloak was put on, Xiangnu felt much more comfortable, but he still complained, “Mr Yu, you are being naughty.”
Yu Su froze for a moment, and subconsciously raised the corner of his lower lip. After realizing why he was laughing, he flattened the corner of his lips and said, “The 30 minutes are almost over, let’s go back to the carriage.”
Xiangnu squeezed the cloak on his body, hesitatingly said, “Wait! Go out now? Then I have this life jacket on me… about the cloak, how to tell everyone?”
Yu Su said, “If you don’t want everyone to see the cloak and ask you about it, you can take off the cloak and hide it in the bathroom… Your bag seems to be still in your seat, I can take your bag to the bathroom.”
Xiangnu frowned, looking a little tangled, thinking.
After a while, he said slowly, “No need, just go out like this.”
Xiang Nu turned around and went to the closet again to grope. Yu Su saw that he was holding a life jacket and put it into his arms. He exhaled softly and said in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
Xiang Nu felt a little guilty, so he pretended to be natural and said, “Put more capsules. In case this escape suit is really useful, we can also distribute it to everyone at that time. It would be good to help a few more people.”
Yu Su sneered lowly.
Xiangnu was so uncomfortable with his reaction, he pursed his lips and asked, “Can’t we?”
Yu Su took his hand and opened his fingers one by one. All of the oval soft capsules suddenly fell off and thumped on the ground.
Yu Su said lightly, “With so many taskers, do you have enough capsules to help everyone? How are you going to distribute them, and to whom? Are there people you are familiar with in this task?”
He asked casually, but Xiangnu remembered the deliberate misunderstanding just now, and he didn’t know if he was too narcissistic, which caused him to have the illusion. He always felt that Yu Su was taking the opportunity to check his relationship and friendship chain.
Xiangnu shook his head subtly and said, “This is my first time partic.i.p.ating in a mission, how can I know anyone.”
Yu Su let out a small yawn and asked, “Is there really no one?”
Xiangnu nodded heavily, Yu Su softened his tone a little, and said softly, “If that’s the case, you don’t need to worry about them. It’s their ability to dare to come in and to be able to come into the cab, we’ve already given them a head start and let them go. They know the flight attendant won’t come back while they’re out of the cab, and they can come in and look for the escape capsule the next time the flight attendant leaves the cab, for example, during a random inspection of the carriage, so why should you worry about them?”
Xiangnu let out a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement, “You’re right, then, well, I will not take the capsules, let’s just go out. It’s good to tell everyone about the capsules after we go out.”
Yu Su responded lightly, “Let’s go.”
Xiang Nu was led by him for two steps and suddenly remembered something, broke free from Yu Su’s hand, and looked in the direction where the notebook fell from his memory. He groped for a while in the ground and when he found it, his heart was overjoyed. Just as he was about to pick it up, the other end of the notebook was pinched by Yu Su. Yu Su asked, “Why are you picking this up?”
Xiangnu blinked and smiled, “I don’t think things like a notebook should appear for no reason. There may be some secrets hidden in it. After thinking about it, I decided to take it with me.”
Yu Su’s eyebrows drooped, “I said, there are some useless things in it. What’s more, you can’t see it, and you can only show it to others when you take it out… So, do you not trust me?”
Xiangnu showed hesitation, but firmly and without hesitation, he stuffed the notebook into his cloak, “I believe in you, Mr Yu! I just want to keep the notebook, but don’t worry, I won’t show it to anyone, of course!”
Yu Su looked at him fixedly, and Xiangnu grabbed his fingers and pleaded softly, “Mr Yu, the time is up, let’s stop worrying about these things, let’s go out!”
“I really won’t show anyone my notebook, trust me!”
The end time was approaching little by little, Yu Su and Xiangnu were deadlocked for dozens of seconds, Yu Su finally let go of the hand holding the notebook, but rubbed Xiangnu into his arms, exhaling slightly Shallow airflow that surrounded Xiangnu, and his voice echoing from his chest, sounding extremely cold, “Okay, but if you don’t keep your promise…”
Xiangnu replied firmly, “I will keep my promise. You don’t have to make this a.s.sumption!”
Yu Su fixedly stared at him for a few seconds, released his hand holding the notebook, Xiangnu quickly retracted his hand under the cloak, put the notebook on his belly and hid it carefully, Yu Su took him and opened the door and walked in Car 1.
From beginning to end, the driver in the cab did not look back, nor did he call the flight attendant who was still outside the train.
Like a deaf and blind man, he couldn’t hear the loud noises made by Xiang Nu and Yu Su behind the wall, nor could he see the huge red call b.u.t.ton on his left with the head of the flight attendant.
It was said that the driver was driving and it was inconvenient to turn around, but now the train is at a stop…
Yu Su opened the door of the driver’s cab and walked into the No. 1 compartment with Xiang Nu in his arms. Everyone looked at him and the handsome young man with only a pointed chin and thin pink lips in his arms. w.a.n.g Nan narrowed his eyes. Looking at the two of them, just as he was about to speak, there was a suffocating pain in his neck.
His face was distorted, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, like a Chinese cabbage that was wilted and shrivelled.
Chen Chengen was stunned and confused. He pointed to the other side and asked, “Mr Yu, Mr Xiang, didn’t you go to the bathroom? The bathroom is obviously on the other side, how did you run to the opposite side… You came out of the cab?”
Chen Chengen looked at the cloak on Xiangnu’s body subtly, with a subtle change in his eyes.
Xiangnu nodded, and before he had time to speak, Yu Su held him in his arms and half pushed him forward, until he was pushed to sit down in that familiar position, Yu Su’s movements eased a little.
Exactly 30 minutes pa.s.sed.
The flight attendant, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly burst out. It glanced coldly at the fighting monsters on the ground, and rushed up to rudely tore these monsters that devoured each other and gradually forming a closed ring of monsters roughly ripped apart, divided into five, the monsters wailed shrilly, the steward did not react, just one by one, gripped them and threw them into the 4th carriage.
Strange to say, as soon as they entered the carriage, the screaming monsters suddenly stopped and they didn’t know what happened to the No. 4 carriage.
After the flight attendant threw a monster into the carriage, when it turned around to see the monsters were entangled again, the flight attendant was not angry but seemed to be very happy. It ran to the group of monsters and happily with a flick of the tail, ripped off the monsters. He took a piece and put it in the No. 4 carriage.
When the monster screamed in pain, the flight attendant’s tail twitched so hard it was hard to tell whether it wasn’t intentional.
The flight attendant took four monsters in a row and threw them into the No. 4 car, and then threw a fat monster with the head of Fenghe Lulu and a skirt covered in dirty powder into car no 1.
When the monster with the face of Fenghe Lulu was about to be thrown into the carriage by the flight attendant, the taskers of the No. 1 carriage hurriedly avoided it, for fear of being hit by Fenghe Lulu.
But in fact, Fenghe Lulu didn’t fall into the car when it pa.s.sed through the gla.s.s of the car but was sucked into the gla.s.s and turned into a hideous mural.
Chen Chengen had lingering fears and did not dare to look at Fenghe Lulu. He asked Yu Su, “Mr Yu, you have been to No. 4 carriage before. How many monsters were there in that carriage?”
Yu Su said casually, “It seems to be four.”
Chen Chengen said thoughtfully, “Maybe the four monsters were thrown out by Lin Cheng when he cleared the silver light, so the flight attendant will only throw four monsters into the No. 4 carriage now to fill up the numbers. But it’s a little strange. Before that, why didn’t it do it for a long time, and had to wait for 30 minutes to deal with these monsters?”
Chen Chengen asked, Yu Su, looked down at Xiangnu, who was quietly covering his backpack with a cloak, then quietly opened the zipper and stuffed the notebook into the bag.
After feeling Yu Su’s gaze, he stretched out his two hands from under the cloak, his fingers spread out, his slightly red palms were like pink and tender cat claws, he shook his hands and showed them to Yu Su, indicating he was not prepared to expose the existence of the notebook.
Chen Chengen looked at w.a.n.g Nan, the almost lifeless man who pulled a face as if his parents had died, and he was mourning.
Then he looked at Feng Hejia again, who was still immersed in the aftertaste of the baby spirits and did not wake up. She was in a trance, and there was no way to discuss it with Chen Chengen.
Chen Chengen had to say by himself, “Continuing the topic just now, Mr Yu and Mr Xiang, how did you get out of the cab? Why is there a cloak on Mr Xiang’s body? Can you share it with us?”
Chen Chengen was really polite. Although he was questioning, his tone was gentle and calm, which would not make people feel disgusted.
Yu Su didn’t respond, Xiangnu tugged at the hem of his clothes, thought for a few seconds, and then said the truth, “I can’t answer you about how to get to the cab, because I don’t know, maybe some switch was flipped. You guys can go to the bathroom by yourself in a while, maybe you can find something.”
“But I can tell you the origin of my clothes. I found them in a closet in the cab and took them out from a capsule. There are several capsules in the closet. Mr Yu told me that the capsule had the words ‘life jackets produced by the coc.o.o.n pupa workshop’ written, and I guess that maybe we can wear this and we can safely pa.s.s through the silver light.”
The train started and began the journey to the next station.
Chen Chengen asked, “Is there any basis for Mr Xiang’s guess?”
Xiangnu shook his head, “No, but I don’t want to wait any longer. The closer I get to the terminal, the more panicked I get. I can’t stand it anymore, so I decided to take the risk. If I can succeed, everyone will be happy. Everyone just needs the escape capsule stolen from the cab. If it fails, it’s okay, just think of it as an experience for everyone.”
When everyone heard the words, their faces became more and more strange. Xiangnu looked so calm, he really didn’t look like someone who can’t stand the pressure.
But Xiangnu’s words made sense. After all, he used himself as a test, and it was not a loss for other missionaries.
Although they were a little greedy for the life jacket on Xiang Nu’s body, they wanted to see the result of Xiang Nu jumping out of the car after putting on the life jacket.
But not everyone had the same opinion. A middle-aged man with a potbelly finally couldn’t help it at this moment. He looked at Xiangnu with suspicion and said, “You can jump as you like, but how do we know that there is a closet in the cab? Are there any extra escape capsules there? In case this is the only one on you and you escape wearing it, what will we do then?”
