I'm almost done with this chapter. I missed 200 words from yesterday's chapter, so I'll add 300 words today as an apology.
"Septimus, I saw Chen Ge just now."
Vole peeked his head into the room with a strange expression on his face.
"Didn't I tell you to call me Marcie?"
"Marcie," who was Septimus sitting on the bed, seemed to be deep in thought. He raised his head and scolded Vole impatiently. "What did he want?"
"Yes, yes," Field Mouse walked into the house and said with a cautious smile, "Well, he seems to have drunk a lot, his face is red. I don't know if he saw you somewhere, but he suddenly stopped me and kept asking me if I had seen Marcie. I think he seems to be interested in something."
Septimus raised his head in surprise when he heard the overtone that all men could understand.
"So that's what he was thinking that day," he muttered to himself.
That day, when he went to look for Chen Jinfeng, he tried to sound him out. He had a vague idea of what Chen Jinfeng had done, but Chen Jinfeng naturally wouldn't reveal his dirty secrets.
Septimus didn't tell anyone the reason behind Marcie's disappearance and how he could bring her back. Therefore, after the two of them transformed, he had been very careful to avoid Chen Jinfeng. He was afraid that it would be difficult to explain. Now that Marcie had suddenly appeared, he felt that it was really difficult to deal with it.
"Forget it. Just ignore him," Septimus said after thinking for a long time.
Vole's face immediately turned bitter.
When he left the infirmary, Lin Sanjiu snapped her fingers and made the mantis on his shoulder invisible. Even though he could no longer see the mantis, he could still feel the pair of cold scythes moving up and down along with his Adam's apple. The woman with the surname Lin had made it very clear that since Vole was so cunning, he would have to think of a way to get Septimus to summon the real Marcie. Otherwise, he would have to give up his visa and hand him over to Hei Zeji.
"No, I can't. Cadre Chen drank a lot and kept mentioning Marcie. He even said that he would come over in a while. It took me a lot of effort to send him away. You'd better think of something," Field Mouse said in a panic.
"Damn it." Septimus felt a headache coming on and cursed under his breath. It wasn't a good idea to offend Chen Jinfeng now. He did want to go by himself, but he didn't know anything about relationships between men and women. He was worried that Chen Jinfeng would notice something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's coax Marcie. He can't get his hands on her anyway."
Before Vole could understand what Feng Yu meant, Septimus had already stood up. With a wave of his hand, the two of them were deformed.
Field Mouse, who had returned to his original state, looked at his short and chubby hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Septimus stared at him coldly for a moment and said in his usual calm tone, "I will call Marcie out now. During this period of time, you have to keep a close eye on Lin Sanjiu. Do not let Lin Sanjiu get close to her, understand? "
The field mouse nodded repeatedly.
"She knows you, and it won't be good to see you. You can leave now. "
As soon as Septimus said that, Vole felt as if he had been pardoned. He turned around and walked out of the room. Septimus gave him a second look, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the curtain at the door had fallen and Vole's footsteps had faded away, Septimus closed his eyes. After a while, the veins on his forehead bulged. His body suddenly blurred like in an old movie. Then, a figure fell from his body and landed on the ground. It was Marcie.
Marcie still looked the same as the day she disappeared. Her fluffy red hair was standing up messily, her clothes were crooked, and her face was still flushed from the excitement of the fight. When she saw Septimus, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise, "You are back! Why did you run so far away? I couldn't even maintain my form!"
"I was in danger." Septimus smiled at her. "That's why I called you out the moment I came back. What happened to you?"
"Don't talk about it." Marcie's face turned green when she thought of Chen Jinfeng. "I won't let that scumbag go."
She patted her face and body in disgust as if she was trying to clean herself. Then, she sat down on the ground, exhausted.
Septimus nodded. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Marcie's mouth open. She looked at his head with a shocked expression. Just when he was about to look up, he heard a gust of wind behind his head. Then, he felt a sharp pain, and he immediately lost consciousness.
This time, Marcie was the real Marcie. She stared at Lin Sanjiu, who had descended from the sky and knocked Septimus out with a single strike of her baton.
"What … What are you doing?" Marcie wiped her face as if she couldn't believe it. She looked at the narrow ceiling of the partition and then at Lin Sanjiu. "Why did you hit him? That's Luther's body."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Marcie. It was as if a huge burden had been lifted from her heart. She let out a long sigh and walked a few steps closer to Marcie. She looked at Marcie with a faint smile on her face. "I finally let you out."
Marcie didn't understand the situation at all. She patted Lin Sanjiu's shoulder and looked at Hu Changzai with a perplexed expression. Hu Changzai entered the room cautiously and greeted her. Then, he quickly tied up the unconscious Septimus.
Lin Sanjiu spent about half an hour telling Marcie everything that had happened in the past few days.
When she finished, Marcie was stunned for a long time. Her eyes never left Septimus. After a while, she sighed, "So that's what happened. It's been five days."
"I know that the 12 of you have been together for a long time. You must be very upset after what Septimus did to you," Lin Sanjiu comforted Marcie. She was afraid that Marcie would be upset.
"No, I'm fine. You don't have to comfort me." Unexpectedly, Marcie smiled at her. Even though she was trying to comfort Lin Sanjiu, she didn't look sad. "Xiao Jiu, I thought of something. I want to confirm it now. Hand Septimus over to me. I will look for you later. Is that okay? "
Lin Sanjiu raised her head hesitantly.
Marcie's clear green eyes were watery. "When I was taken back, my ability also leveled up, so you don't have to worry about me. Also, thank you." Marcie's tone was very sincere.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and nodded. "I will hand him over to you. Be careful."
After saying that, she signaled to Hu Changzai, and the two of them left the room silently, leaving Marcie and Septimus alone.
Almost everyone in the basement had left. The sound of footsteps echoed in the spacious basement, spreading far and wide.
When Lin Sanjiu came up the stairs, an anxious face popped out. "Sister Lin, how is it? Can you retract it now?" It was Vole.
His neck was tilted unnaturally to the other side, as if he could avoid the giant mantis on his right shoulder.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him.
That mantis was the effect of the Pygmalion Choker. It had already lost its effect after five minutes. That was the reason why Lin Sanjiu had made the mantis invisible. This time, the fantasy that Hu Changzai described to her was "summoning a terrifying, invisible insect." It did not involve combat ability. If the vole was a little more courageous and resisted, it would have long discovered that the mantis was a paper tiger.
"You cherish your life too much." Lin Sanjiu sighed. "You cherish your life too much, so you don't care about anything else."
As she said that, she extended her hand to Vole's shoulder.
Vole moved closer to Lin Sanjiu gratefully. But before he could say a word of thanks, Lin Sanjiu suddenly knocked out the second person today.
"What do you plan to do with him?" Hu Changzai was shocked. He pushed his glasses and asked.
"Tie him up. When I have time, I will get a few visas from him." Lin Sanjiu smiled coldly.
