Shen Xixi opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed in a small clinic. Rabbit was lying beside her bed, asleep, but her eyes were red. Apparently, she had just cried not long ago.
Li Bai, on the other hand, was reading online novels on his mobile phone. When he heard movement coming from the bed, he looked up and saw Shen Xixi trying to prop herself up. "Sister Xixi, you are awake!" he exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Xixi hummed softly and looked down to see where she was stabbed. However, there was no wound on her body.
Li Bai seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "After you fainted, Rabbit and I rushed to the master bedroom immediately. The situation was too dangerous. We saw that crazy woman riding on you, but before she could do anything, Rabbit and I subdued her."
"What about the needle in my hand?"
"You didn't wake up, so the doctor put you on an intravenous drip."
Rabbit was also awakened by their conversation. Rubbing her eyes, she saw Shen Xixi and couldn't help but cry again. After that, she plunged into Shen Xixi's arms.
Shen Xixi stroked her hair, "I'm sorry to have made you worry. By the way, those people …"
"I did what you taught me. I asked the three people in the room to confess what they did, and then threw them and the video at the entrance of the police station. As for the others, I educated them with my identity as a police officer, forbidding them from participating in similar activities and clubs. After that, I let them go home."
"Well done," Shen Xixi praised. Shen Xixi praised. She then pulled out the needle in her hand and pressed the needle hole with her other hand. "Let's go. After all, we are pretending to be policemen. Maybe the police are already looking for us. We shouldn't stay in this city any longer."
"Where are we going?"
"Shenzhen. Fukang Group's employees have died continuously. I suspect there is a similar club there," Shen Xixi said as she put on her sneakers.
However, when she stood up, she found that Rabbit and Li Bai had not moved.
"What's wrong? Do you have any other questions?" Shen Xixi asked.
Rabbit and Li Bai looked at each other, and then finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Xixi, we have been wanting to talk to you for a long time."
"You have something to talk to me about? Okay, let's go back to the car. We can talk on the way. " Shen Xixi didn't seem to take Rabbit's request to talk too seriously. She had always played the role of leader in the team, and neither Rabbit nor Li Bai questioned her decisions.
Sometimes, the three of them didn't look like a team of players, but more like a sister with a younger and younger brother.
However, she didn't expect Rabbit to object this time. "No, we don't want to talk in the car," she said.
Shen Xixi was stunned. She turned around and looked at Rabbit and Bai., and finally realized that they were serious this time.
So she nodded. "I know, but this isn't the place to talk. Let's go out first."
"No problem." Rabbit and Li Bai were relieved to see that Shen Xixi had finally agreed.
As it was already very late, most of the cafes and restaurants were already closed. The three of them finally found a 24-hour internet cafe and asked for a private room.
The front desk even brought over an extra fruit platter. After the waitress left the room, Rabbit spoke again. "Sister Xixi, Li Bai and I think we can't go on like this anymore."
"What do you mean by that?"
"We know that you have been feeling guilty about the decision you made that day, but no matter how hard you try to make up for it, you can't change what has happened."
"So, should I pretend that nothing happened?" Shen Xixi asked.
"No, I don't mean that. I … I want to say … "Rabbit was a little nervous, and she stuttered when she questioned Shen Xixi for the first time.
"We want to say that what you are doing now is useless except to torture yourself," Li Bai suddenly said. Even the police can't do anything about it. The three of us have been going back and forth for more than a month. We've been working day and night, and we've only taken down a dozen of them. It's not even worth mentioning compared to the total number. Besides, you should know that these believers won't last more than a few days in the police station. In fact, they can just write a letter of guarantee and swagger back home in a few hours.
"And those ordinary people you let go, they may be fine now, but as time goes by, sooner or later, they will become like those who are arrested. With your intelligence, you can't ignore these things. But until now, you haven't even mentioned it. Is it because you can't solve it?"
Shen Xixi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Li Bai reached out and stopped her. "Let me finish, Sister Xixi. You always want me to think more, right? It's rare for me to think so much this time," said Li Bai.
"Well, then continue."
"You must think that we don't want to continue because we can't see hope, and we are afraid of suffering. But that's not the case. The reason why we can't continue is because of you."
"Me?"
"Yes, we all know … the characteristics of the Master of R 'yleh. The more you come into contact with things related to him, the more your mind will be polluted. Using a popular board game concept, it's that … something's value will drop faster."
"San Xian," Rabbit added softly.
"Yes, San Xian. We were all there when he came to that small valley that night. For more than a month, we have been tracking down those clubs that worship him, especially you. As the leader and brain of the team, you have been collecting and researching relevant information. Your mind has reached its limit. This is also why you suddenly fainted in the bedroom this afternoon. Tell us honestly, Xixi. Have you been having nightmares recently?"
"No," Shen Xixi answered quickly as if she had never thought about it.
Li Bai stared into Shen Xixi's eyes, trying to figure out something from them. However, this was not his forte. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. "Stop, Sister Xixi, before it's too late," he said, trying to persuade her.
"But it's too late," Shen Xixi said. Shen Xixi said, "You are right about one thing. If this continues, everyone will soon become that guy's believers."
