Du, du …
Gu Jun listened to the sound of the phone being hung up and sighed helplessly.
He turned to look at the customers in the shop, at Malachite, who was still pointing at the TV screen, and at Catherine, who was talking on her phone not far away. She and Tom had also been missing for more than ten days, and now they were telling their families that they were safe and telling them that the police did not need to search anymore.
"What now?" Gu Jun was about to put down the phone when a thought occurred to him. 'Wait, Dirty-minded Yu did remember me earlier, she remembered me very clearly.
Then there are two possibilities. One, she naturally remembered me but that was a long time ago. They had talked so much to each other for a month that even Gu Jun himself could not remember it but Dirty-minded Yu suddenly remembered it? That was too much of a coincidence.
The other possibility was that this was the result of her telepathy! '
'Was it because of my inner voice that she remembered this sentence? 'Gu Jun's heart shook. That was a possibility. That was a possibility.
He looked around. After all, there were too many people here, it might affect his mental state and this connection.
"Kathlyn." Gu Jun called. After Kathlyn ended the call, he said, "Bring us to the nearest hotel, one with a quiet environment."
Other than contacting Wu Shiyu, he had to deal with Malachite and the rest. He planned to hypnotize them to draw out their original personalities.
"Okay." Kathlyn nodded. After walking in the desert for so long, it was time for a rest.
Before leaving, she went to the fast food counter to buy some food. She ordered 5 large iced cokes, one for each of them. She said happily, "Friends, drink up, I'm sure you'll all like this." She bit on the straw and took a big gulp. Peacock gasped, "Ah, this is …"
Malachite and the rest took a sip of their own with confusion. Gold almost spat it out, Aquamarine scrunched up her face and Shihu coughed. The taste was more pungent than the rye wine at Dylath-Leen. It was not too spicy but it was a very special feeling …
"This is cola, welcome to the golden age." Gu Jun took a big gulp. He used to drink a bottle of coke after every surgery.
Now that he had tasted it again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
After leaving the convenience store, since the hatchback Ford could not fit six people and a rock, and the nearest hotel was not far away, they walked there.
This was just an ordinary town, but because it was a relay station to the coast, there were some shops and hotels.
On the way, they passed by a clothing store. Catherine brought everyone in and used her credit card to buy a suitable set of casual clothes for everyone. When they arrived at this classic hotel that was only 2 stories tall, it was Kathlyn who handled the check-in process. She requested for 2 rooms according to the nightmare man's wishes, one small and one large. She used her identification to register them.
Fortunately, it was a small shop that didn't have much business, so the old woman at the front desk was not strict with them. She only told them not to make trouble.
The sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. The shower head sprinkled warm water, washing away the dirt on the body.
Gu Jun took a good bath. Although his mental corruption rate was still at 24.68% — the system's normal and difficult missions that he had been secretly doing for the past few days had only reduced it by 0.1% — he felt a lot more refreshed. The vines on his legs had all wilted, leaving only some skin wounds but his body and face were covered in purplish red scabs …
When he looked at the man in the mirror, he still felt very unfamiliar. The more he looked, the more anxious he became … Would this be the end of it? Was there a chance of recovery?
But that was not the most pressing issue now.
He put on the fitted new outfit, a long sleeved T-shirt and khaki pants. He used a rubber band to tie up his already long hair and walked out of the bathroom.
Catherine and the rest were inside the room. The land's travellers already knew what the nightmare man looked like but this was Catherine's first time seeing it. She was stunned.
"I'm sorry …" She shook her head and apologized hurriedly, "I didn't mean it that way, I just … did not expect this."
"It's fine." Gu Jun smiled at her. "I used to be quite handsome, just a bit silly. Now I'm just a silly boy. "
He had Catherine take care of the group and taught them how to clean up while he returned to the small room that did not have its own bathroom to tend to other things.
Once he returned to the simple wooden bedroom, Gu Jun sat down on the chair next to the bedside table. There was an old black phone placed on the table.
He thought back to the telepathic conversation and the feeling when he thought he heard Wu Shiyu's voice in the chaos. A ripple appeared in his heart.
"Dirty-minded Yu, you need to be smart." He said to himself. He picked up the phone and called her again. Du, du …
With a click, the call was connected again. "Hello?" A lazy female voice was heard. The tone was almost the same as before.
"…" Gu Jun did not say anything. This time he closed his eyes. He sensed in the darkness and said internally, 'Wu Shiyu, Dirty-minded Yu, Tamarine! Did you hear me? I, Gu Jun, am not dead, I'm back! '
About 10 seconds later, a yawn came from the phone. "Who is it? Is anyone there?"
Gu Jun made his breathing sound louder to indicate that there was someone there. He repeated silently, 'Gu Jun, Gu Jun, Gu Jun …'
"Pervert?" Wu Shiyu yawned. "Sigh, I guess I'll leave it to fate. You're the one who called me anyway, so it's not my call that's wasted."
Gu Jun was getting impatient. He could hear the TV being turned up and the sound of chips being chewed. This girl was obviously watching a drama while eating chips … If she had fallen asleep, would it really be because of the dream? Gu Jun thought to himself. Gu Jun was starting to panic. And not because of a heart attack due to lack of exercise and obesity?
Why would she be so free? A thought crossed his mind, 'Did she really apply for a transfer to the Recreation Department?'
The sound of Wu Siyu burping could be heard from the microphone again.
Gu Jun tried to call her but to no avail. Then a thought came to him, 'Watch the TV? Pictures? ' Perhaps it was not for her to hear but for her to see. The transmission of telepathic voice had succeeded once but the transmission of pictures was a hundred percent success during their special training.
'I'll try to use pictures, it's easier than words. '
He didn't hang up the phone. He picked up Tom's phone and searched for a picture of salt on the Internet. He strengthened his confidence. My mental connection with this salted fish is extraordinary. That spiritual conversation might have left a loop behind. This distance is nothing!
He stared at the phone screen and sent the picture to her like he did thousands of times during the ESP training.
About 10 seconds later, suddenly, Gu Jun heard Wu Shiyu say suspiciously, "It's a bit … salty?"
'It works! ' He was overjoyed, but he immediately suppressed these emotions and did not allow himself to be distracted. He continued to send another picture. It was a knife in one hand.
The TV volume was lowered. Wu Shiyu picked up the phone again. Her voice suddenly became very close, "Dirty-minded Jun?"
