When Chu Zhao woke up, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. On the bed next to him, Xun Er had not woken up yet. He was on an intravenous drip, which was now normal saline solution.
His head still hurt a little, but he was not in a hurry to get out of bed. Before he fell asleep, he remembered that Su Bai had come and he had already explained everything to Su Bai. Now, he could rest a little bit at ease.
Even if the sky collapsed, there was a tall one to hold it up. Among the three of them, Su Bai was the strongest. As for the fourth woman who suddenly appeared, it was naturally the safest to leave it to Su Bai to investigate.
At this time, Su Bai and Jie Ling were sitting in the breakfast shop at the entrance of the hospital. Su Bai ordered a fried dough stick and a bowl of soybean milk, while Jie Ling ordered a basket of soup dumplings and a bowl of wonton.
Su Bai's appetite was not very good. After all, he had just swallowed an eel last night.
Jie Ling ate quite happily. He did not have any psychological pressure. He was just a passerby watching the fun, so he naturally did not need to worry too much. Of course, this matter was indeed very interesting.
After the two sent Xun Er and Chu Zhao to the hospital together, they sat on the hospital corridor bench, exchanging cigarettes and chatting. They did not come down for breakfast until dawn.
"Phew …"
The last wonton was swallowed by Jie Ling. He was very satisfied and took out a wet towel to wipe his mouth.
Su Bai was still holding the fried dough stick and "rowing" in the soybean milk. After Jie Ling finished eating, he said, "I remember that you are a person who never gets tired of eating fine dishes."
The other meaning of this sentence was that he was a very pretentious person, a person who had high requirements for the quality of life.
"When drinking white wine, you have the attitude of drinking white wine. When drinking red wine, you have the attitude of drinking red wine. When eating Western food, you have the attitude of eating Western food. When eating Chinese breakfast, you have the attitude of eating Chinese breakfast …" Jie Ling explained.
However, Su Bai quickly interrupted Jie Ling's explanation.
"The point is that you used to think that I'm not on the same level as you, so you've been deliberately putting on airs." Su Bai hit the nail on the head.
Jie Ling chuckled and stopped explaining. There was no need to explain anymore. Yes, even before he was promoted to a senior listener, he was considered one of the top veterans, and he was really only one step away from becoming a senior listener. Thus, it was inevitable that he had half-substituted himself into the mentality of a senior listener. When facing Su Bai, he seemed a little deliberately "friendly", which was to say, a little reserved.
But now, both of them were high-level listeners. Their statuses were the same, so Jie Chen was more at ease.
Friend, two strings of money are really equal.
"I'm very curious, what is her motive for doing this?" Su Bai still held the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully. In the photo, Xun Er was sitting there drinking coffee, looking calm and serene.
Jie Ling knew about Su Bai's background. Previously, he could be considered to have joined the circle of the Fang family, so Su Bai's background was not a secret to him.
Su Bai remembered that when he sensed the existence of that woman, he looked everywhere and finally found Xun Er outside this coffee shop. Therefore, it was obvious who took this photo of Xun Er.
"As far as I know." Su Bai paused. "They seem to like to do experiments."
"A scam experiment?" Jie Ling stood up and paid for breakfast, then walked to the entrance of the breakfast shop and tidied up the collar of his suit. He did not sleep last night, but there was not a trace of fatigue on his face. He still looked meticulous. In the past, Su Bai thought that Jie Ling was quite decent, but now he thought that this guy might be purely obsessive-compulsive. Indeed, both of them were on equal footing, so his opinion was different.
"I think so. In the cemetery area, there is only a simple spirit-absorbing formation. It can't be any simpler. Even if it's not a Listener, a person with a little bit of experience in metaphysics can break it, not to mention the strength and status of those two low-level Listeners," Su Bai said as he walked with Jie Ling to the hospital.
"But their spiritual energy was almost sucked dry, and they didn't even put up much resistance." Jie Ling smiled. "This is really interesting. I suddenly feel that watching the show last night was not in vain. It seems that a door to a new world is opening for me."
"It's really interesting."
The two high-level Listeners chatted and said that it was a very interesting thing. Even though Xun Er and Chu Zhao were still lying on the hospital beds, Su Bai did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
"But if you want to play this scam perfectly, you still need to experience it again." Jie Ling habitually took out his cigarette box, but there were no more cigarettes in it. He was not used to Su Bai's cigarettes, so he did not want them.
"You mean, you and me?" Su Bai asked.
"Archimedes once said, give me a lever, and I can move the whole earth. Isn't this scam the same logic?" Jie Ling crossed his fingers, his eyes shining, and he seemed a little excited. "Using the simplest formation, we almost sucked the vitality of two low-level Listeners dry, turning them into helpless lambs. It's like buying a house in Beijing's Second Ring Road with 100 yuan."
"The first metaphor is quite stylish, but the second one is full of vulgarity." Su Bai shook his head helplessly. He used to think that these guys were good and mysterious, but when he stood at the same height as them, he felt that they were all a bunch of funny people.
"You know that my hometown is in the northeast. If I didn't become a Listener, as an ordinary person, I would still be crying for a house in Shanghai." Jie Ling reached out and tidied Su Bai's collar. It was very strange for a man to help another man tidy up his collar so carefully, but he still reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "So I'm very grateful. I'm grateful that it gave me a different life. It liberated me from the entanglements of ordinary people like rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar, tea, and houses. It allowed me to see a different scenery."
"Psycho." Su Bai cursed. "You should say that to those who died and the low-level Listeners."
"Well, let's go to the cemetery. It should be your mother's doing. I really can't wait." Jie Ling reached out and adjusted the frame of his glasses. "Actually, I'm more curious about one thing. This scam can fool the two low-level Listeners, but it certainly can't fool you. But by doing this, isn't it obvious to you? So, what is her purpose?"
"I don't know." Su Bai shook his head. "I really don't know what they want to do, but I do know one thing. Sooner or later, I will crush their skulls."
Jie Ding shrugged. "But I think it's more likely that you'll be played like a toy from the beginning to the end. Forget it, I won't crush your initiative. Go up and check on them. I'll arrange for the cemetery to be closed today. No one is allowed to enter."
Regardless of whether it was getting his subordinates to do it or his influence in the real world to do it, it was not difficult for him to do it.
Su Bai nodded and walked up to the hospital building. When he opened the door of the ward, Xun Er and Chu Zhao were already awake. Xun Er was sitting on the bed, looking very haggard. Chu Zhao was sitting cross-legged, holding his phone as if he was talking to someone.
When Su Bai came in, their eyes fell on Su Bai.
"Su Bai." Chu Zhao shouted excitedly. Although he was still very weak, that matter could indeed make him excited. Oh, no, it could be said that it could make him feel terrified.
"I brought you some breakfast." Su Bai looked at them. They were still on an IV drip, so they probably weren't very hungry.
"Su Bai, who is she?" Xun Er asked at this time. She looked very pale, but it was obvious that she was very concerned about the girl's identity. A girl who appeared and disappeared in her life.
Su Bai took out a cigarette, lit it, and threw one to Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao licked his dry and cracked lips. He was not in the mood to smoke at this time, but Su Bai seemed to be deliberately holding on and not telling them about the girl.
"The office should be able to find information about the girl. Have you checked?" Xun Er asked again. If it wasn't for the sudden power outage, she could have finished reading the information.
"Hehe."
Su Bai shook his head. "I haven't read it."
"Have you forgotten?" Xun Er was very puzzled. With how meticulous Su Bai was, it was impossible for him to ignore this matter.
"What you need to do now is to rest and recover. Don't think so much. As for that girl, she doesn't exist," Su Bai said.
"How is that possible!" Chu Zhao was a little agitated. "She should exist. It's just that our memories have been erased."
"You are the listeners. It's impossible for the broadcast to erase your memories." Su Bai pointed to his head again. "It's also impossible to erase my memory. She doesn't exist. You have been deceived," Su Bai explained.
"Da Bai." Xun Er was a little puzzled at this time. "Is it inconvenient for us to know?"
When Chu Zhao heard this, he seemed to understand something. Since the girl's memory had been erased, her strength level might be very terrifying. Their strength level was far from enough to know.
This was the same as when he had misunderstood Su Bai's handling of Xiao Hui's matter before he became an audience member.
"Okay, then I won't ask anymore. Thank you, Da Bai. If it wasn't for you yesterday, we might have died there." Chu Zhao did not ask anymore.
Xun Er also smiled at Su Bai gratefully.
Su Bai suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. What made these two people insist that the girl existed?
This was clearly a scam.
A person who clearly didn't exist. How did she exist in the cognition of these two people?
Suddenly, Su Bai thought of the question that Jie Jie had asked before.
That woman, what was she trying to convey through this scam that could not deceive advanced listeners?
