The emerald file was held in his hand, and a cup of coffee was placed in front of him. Outside the window was the skyscrapers of Shanghai, and below him was the bustling traffic.
Hai Meimei carefully trimmed his nails, and a few strands of hair fell into his eyes. If one looked through a layer of gauze, one would think that it was the shadow of a lady from a wealthy family. However, he was indeed a man.
"Huff …"
After trimming his nails, Hai Meimei gently blew on them with his mouth. He looked very satisfied, but the sudden sound of the doorbell broke his peace.
Hai Meimei put the file in his pocket, picked up the coffee in front of him, and took a sip. He did not open the door because he knew that the door would not be able to stop the person.
A mercury-like liquid flowed through the gap in the door and climbed onto the chair in front of Hai Meimei. The liquid condensed into a human figure, and gradually became finer.
Hai Meimei waved his hand in disgust, as if he could not stand the smell.
"You're really something. Of all the things you could've done in the beginning, you just had to strengthen the body of a robot like the Terminator. Every time I see you, I smell the disgusting smell of engine oil."
The other party's image was completely highlighted. It was a woman with a voluptuous figure. She was wearing a silver dress, which matched the color of the mercury-like liquid metal from before.
"As long as we're not gay friends." The woman reached out and tidied her hair. Some people seemed to be born with this kind of affinity. In front of Hai Meimei, you would naturally relax, especially when a woman faced him. She would often treat him like a sister.
"If you didn't come, I would be a little sleepy. I wanted to take a bath after trimming my nails." Hai Meimei stretched, looking very lazy.
"You're really free." The woman rolled her eyes at Hai Meimei. "Has there been any news from Big Sis recently?"
"Do you think we use the phone to communicate?" Hai Meimei was a little speechless. "Every time Big Sis sends a message, I will inform you."
"Big Sis likes you the most." The woman suddenly said.
"Zhao Qianqian, what do you mean by that?" Hai Meimei heard another layer of meaning in the woman's words.
"Hai Meimei, to be honest, I'm not long from looking for an opportunity to advance to Advanced Listener. If Big Sis gives you something or tells you something, you can't take it all for yourself."
"It's not like you don't know that Big Sis is harming us by helping us."
"Is Big Sister someone who would care about such trivial matters?" Zhao Qianqian stood up. "Alright, this isn't just my opinion, but the opinions of others as well. Hai Meimei, you're Big Sis' only contact here. I only hope that you can share the resources that you've obtained from Big Sis."
"Hehe." Hai Meimei laughed when she heard this. "What you said is really interesting. Aren't you being kind to me?"
"Yeah, that's how we are." Zhao Qianqian looked at Hai Meimei naturally. "No relationship can last forever, even if we grew up together in an orphanage. Big Sis used to take good care of us, but each of us has our own path. If Big Sis still needs us to help her in the real world, she should at least give us some money." Hai Meimei looked at Zhao Qianqian.
"Are you guys so sure that Big Sis gave me special treatment?" Hai Meimei yawned and spread out her arms. "If I had been given special treatment, would I still be at the level of an ordinary veteran?
"Who knows what you're planning." Zhao Qianqian didn't buy it. "If Big Sis contacts you next time, you can suggest Big Sis change her contact to Chenguang."
"What? Do you guys not trust me that much?" Hai Meimei finally understood. These guys wanted Zhao Qianqian to be their mouthpiece.
"Chenguang is the only Advanced Listener in our orphanage. We trust him. As for you, I'm sorry, but we really don't trust you." Zhao Qianqian was very direct. "I don't know if Big Sis cares about us coming from the orphanage. Many of us have died, and there aren't many left. That's why we want to stick together. If Big Sis still wants us to listen to her and work for her, then let's negotiate the price first. After all, feelings can't make a living.
Running errands for an Advanced Listener in the real world can get us some rewards. Why should we keep helping her for free? "
"Zhao Qianqian, are you guys really going to be so heartless?" Hai Meimei picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and finished it in one gulp. Then, he placed the teacup on the coffee table and said in a slightly heavy voice, "If Big Sis was still here, I don't believe you would dare walk up to me and say something like this."
"Hehe, the problem is she's not here now. Who knows if she'll ever come back." Zhao Qianqian waved her hand. "I'm leaving. Don't forget what I said. We've already discussed it. Next time you ask us to do something, we won't acknowledge it unless Chenguang shows up.
Also, Hai Meimei, you're only good at wearing clothes, playing the piano, and trimming your nails. You're really not suited to be a spokesperson or a leader of a group. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qianqian's body turned into a pool of liquid metal again. It seeped into the ground and disappeared.
After confirming that Zhao Qianqian had left, the anger on Hai Meimei's face quickly disappeared. He turned around and faced the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Sis, those companions who used to follow you around and call you Big Sis have all become like this." Hai Meimei exhaled. "As expected, flowers don't bloom for a hundred days."
…
The darkness instantly thickened. This meant that a certain someone had suddenly believed in this scam. For a moment, a new power was injected into the complicated environment.
Jie Ling thought that Su Bai had once again hypnotized himself, but when he turned around, he saw a girl standing behind Su Bai. She was smiling like a flower.
The girl's appearance was exactly the same as the girl in the photo.
Could it be that this wasn't a scam?
The darkness thickened even more!
A puff of smoke blew from behind Su Bai, brushing past Su Bai's neck. The hand was still resting on his shoulder. It appeared very intimate and natural, as if the two of them had known each other for a long time and had a tacit understanding of each other.
"Hey, Da Bai, have you really forgotten about me?" The girl's voice was very crisp, like the cry of a lark. Especially in this empty environment, her voice seemed even more ethereal, like she was in a recording studio.
Su Bai turned around and looked at the girl in denim suspenders. The girl looked delicate and pretty, with just the right amount of cute baby fat on her face. However, her figure was a little blurry. It was obvious that she was not a physical body, but she did not seem to be a soul body either. She was more like a projection, produced by the effects of light and shadow.
"Alright, you can introduce yourself." Su Bai silently took another puff of his cigarette.
"I knew you would forget about me," the girl said helplessly. The girl said helplessly, "Because I've touched upon a secret. After I die, the broadcaster will have to erase all of your memories of me, including your listeners. Da Bai, are you with Xun Er? "
The girl suddenly asked. This kind of thinking was a little divergent, but it was precisely because of this way of speaking that people felt that it was more believable.
Jie Ling walked over step by step. Naturally, he heard the conversation between Su Bai and the girl, but at this moment, he immediately sat cross-legged and sealed himself.
A small part of the darkness had dissipated.
This was a way of shifting the blame. It meant that regardless of whether it was true or not, he had sealed himself, so he would not be troubled. This strange environment could not continue to absorb power from his body. As for whether he believed it or not, it was up to Su Bai.
For the advanced listeners, this place was dangerous and strange, but it was definitely not to the point where it could threaten their lives. Therefore, Jie Ling decided to act as a bystander to the end.
"No." Su Bai answered concisely. His expression was also very calm, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes. However, the surrounding darkness did not completely dissipate because of Jie Ling's retreat, which meant that Su Bai was still in the stage of not fully believing it.
"She has always been interested in you." The girl bounced to Su Bai's side and said sadly, "To be honest, I was a little jealous. I was afraid that after I died, you would completely be with her. Because I knew that the broadcast would probably modify your memories in order to erase me, which meant that another person would fill in. I was afraid that you would really end up with Xun Er. Although we are all friends, I would still be jealous.
When you were injured, I cooked for you. When you were away, I took care of the little guy for you. When you were sick, I was sad. Even this tombstone, I was the one who said that I would buy it. Did all these scenes belong to Xun Er? Even Xun Er herself thinks so? "
The surrounding darkness became thicker and thicker. As the girl continued to speak, the surrounding atmosphere was gradually turning into a dark abyss.
It seemed that if it increased a little more, the surrounding darkness would turn into a surging black torrent and drown everything.
Su Bai still stood still, but the girl seemed to be encouraged at this moment. She took a step forward and pressed her forehead against Su Bai's chest.
"Don't blame me for being jealous. Listeners are selfish, aren't they?
My first time was also given to you. Even if I die, I won't allow you to find other women, including Xun Er. "
Just as the girl finished speaking, a cool breeze suddenly blew over.
In an instant, the surrounding darkness faded completely. Soon, the girl's own body began to become more and more blurry.
The girl looked shocked and did not know why this was happening. She had obviously just added a handful of firewood to make Su Bai completely believe in her and succeed. What the hell was going on?
Su Bai threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and smiled.
"What you said at the beginning was quite touching, but you said that I had sex with you …" Su Bai paused. "Well, a doctor once told me that I was sick in that area."
