Chapter 20: Tight Maneuvering (2)
The ball in An Xiaoyu's hand is barely considered a communication terminal with more functions. With the connection to the network, you can search for many things that An Xiaoyu didn't know before. She tried to search a lot, and of course the first entry was "Goat".
As the most authoritative official certified encyclopedia of the Three Thousand Empires, "Three Thousand Vocabulary" records almost all the information about goats. An Xiaoyu watched it carefully for a long time and saw his eyes soreness. From the current situation of goats to their origins, from characteristics to breeding, as well as some hybridization methods, and even many videos, but he still couldn't find anything similar to Chi Mo.
Why do people call him goats?
She couldn't help but typed "Chi Mo" in the search bar. The Sanqian Quotation not provided a lot of information, which was similar to what Guan Jue mentioned. In addition to the date of birth and education, her life experience seemed to have been deliberately deleted, without continuous and complete things.
All this started with the incident when Chi Mo entered his freshman year. According to the records of San Thousand Remarks, Chi Mo was involved in a very bad treason incident. The incident happened very suddenly and the verdict was very fast. Less than a week after the incident was exposed, Chi Mo was convicted and his meridians were abolished, and he had no chance with the mecha from then on.
The following things were all left with some dry achievements and award records, until Chi Mo became a lieutenant and was sent to the Eastern Desert. He didn't even write down the specific base. Even An Xiaoyu didn't know the dark inside story of power struggle, and he knew that Chi Mo was excluded from all factions of the Three Thousand Empires.
What exactly happened that made Chi Mo become someone whose father doesn’t love her mother? An Xiaoyu searched online many times, but never found any other information, so she had to give up.
She made up her mind to ask Chi Mo how the nickname of Goat came from next time. Maybe after knowing it, she could roughly figure out what happened when Chi Mo was in college, because Guan Jue and Chi Mo's avoidance made her feel that there was something hidden in this nickname.
But she didn't expect that he had never been there since Chi Mo left the last time. An Xiaoyu knew that there were many things in the base that Chi Mo needed to deal with. Maybe there was some troublesome work that made him unable to live in a clone. This was understandable, so she often went early and ate very slowly when she went to the cafeteria to eat. She left the latest in order not to disturb Chi Mo's work and looked at him from a distance.
What disappointed An Xiaoyu was that Chi Mo had never been to the cafeteria, and An Xiaoyu began to feel lost.
While looking for Chi Mo, she discovered many strange things.
For example, there are some strange faces in the base, not only not wearing uniforms, but also not having a job, but also having a very arrogant expression. The people in the base look arrogant and look at An Xiaoyu, and occasionally I see An Xiaoyu as if she has seen a ghost.
For example, after the search and rescue work was over, the atmosphere in the base began to become inexplicably tense. An Xiaoyu didn't know if this atmosphere was related to those strange faces, nor did she know if Chi Mo couldn't live without her job because of this. She just had a premonition that something terrible was brewing in the base.
For example, while Chi Mo disappeared, Bai Amaranth and Guan Jue also disappeared. I don’t know where they went. She really wanted to find Chu Sui, the four "Hait Eagle", but they didn’t find it, as if all the people she knew disappeared overnight.
So she could only stay in the dormitory converted into the ward all day long. When she was bored, she would read books and open the terminal to search for anything she didn't understand. She gained a lot of knowledge. Sometimes she wanted to try the terminal contact information and try to send some messages to someone, but she didn't know who to send it or what to send it, so she had to give up.
Looking at the dates on the calendar, counting how long it took for me to come to the base, and how many days there were left to start school. I remembered the people at home, Ni Yu, Chi Mo and the other two, and Chu Sui, so bored that I often stared at daze.
In the end, the base even began to restrict An Xiaoyu from entering and leaving. The door card in her hand couldn't even open the cabin door at the end of the corridor outside her dormitory. There were people responsible for delivering food every day, and people were different every day, and she didn't recognize them.
An Xiaoyu began to realize that something amazing happened in the base. This incident may have rolled Chi Mo, Guan Jue and Bai Amaranth into it, and may also be rolled into it in the future. Is it Chi Mo's meaning to lock herself in this room or someone else's order? She thought.
As the days passed day by day, An Xiaoyu tentatively asked about Chi Mo's affairs from the soldiers delivering food, but these people just looked at her, never spoke, put down the lunch box and left. This made An Xiaoyu guess if something happened to Chi Mo.
Worried, thinking randomly, and making up his mind to overthrow it. This is An Xiaoyu's life. Apart from her own random thoughts, there is nothing else to do. These dry days also made her feel how important Chi Mo has become to her. From waking up in the morning to insomnia at night, her mind is full of his shadow, which makes her bitter and sweet.
Suddenly one night, it was already 11:30 in the evening, and she did not fall asleep as usual. She held the terminal and watched the online drama online. The door was suddenly knocked, which scared her. She quickly shouted "Close" and stuffed the terminal into her backpack, walked to the door and asked, "Who?"
After a while of silence outside the door, An Xiaoyu thought that someone had made a mistake. A tired voice came from the other side of the door: "Xiaoyu, it's me."
It's Chi Mo!
He came? An Xiaoyu opened the door and saw Chi Mo standing outside the door. The corridor lights shone on his face. His fair face was full of fatigue. He must be very tired these days, and he still has to take time to see me so late. The longing, grievances and sadness of these days all surged out in an instant. She threw herself into Chi Mo's arms and sobbed, "I miss you so much!"
Chi Mo was shook by her, obviously his body was exhausted. He reached out to touch An Xiaoyu's head and said softly: "I miss you too!"
Only the corridor was left with the sound of disrepair of the corridor lights and An Xiaoyu's crying softly. The two of them were tightly pressed together, as if they were growing together, reluctant to part ways. After a lot of time, Chi Mo suddenly stretched out his hand to hold An Xiaoyu's shoulder, pulled her out of his arms, and looked down at her eyes.
"Xiaoyu, listen to me, there is no time now, you want to leave here, do you know?"
An Xiaoyu was still immersed in the joy of the reunion of the little date, and his mind was a little stunned. When he heard him say he was leaving here, he looked confused: "Ah? Why? What about you?"
"I'm with you, Xiaoyu, obedient. Something happened in the base. I don't want you to be affected. I want to take you to a safer place."
An Xiaoyu knew what was happening in the base. No matter what happened, she was powerless, so she nodded without thinking and said, "Well, listen to you!"
Chi Mo breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head: "Go and pack up, don't leave anything behind."
"Um!"
An Xiaoyu turned around and entered the house, changed her pajamas, put all her things into her backpack, and was ready in less than five minutes. When she opened the door, she saw Chi Mo leaning against the wall and resting, and then she opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the door opening.
She felt a little distressed and asked, "You're very tired."
Chi Mo smiled and shook his head: "No, let's go."
The two of them left the corridor. Chi Mo's pace was a little fast, not taking care of An Xiaoyu's short legs like usual, which made her very tired after following her, but she didn't say anything, but followed him without saying anything. The corridor was a little cold, but sweat soon appeared on her forehead and she was not in the mood to see where she had walked.
What surprised her was that there was no one in the corridor, and they only walked forward for a long time without seeing a third person. Just as she was thinking this way, a person suddenly flashed out of the corner in front of them, blocking them, scaring her.
After a closer look, it turned out to be amaranth.
Although Bai Amaranth and Chi Mo were not very good at dealing with her, she was still the one she knew and hadn't seen each other for many days. An Xiaoyu was still a little surprised when she saw her, so she wanted to go up and say hello. When she looked up, she found that Bai Amaranth's expression was a little wrong.
Bai Amaranth came over to block Chi Mo's footsteps, and did not even look at An Xiaoyu. She faced Chi Mo coldly and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Chi Mo didn't say anything, just looked at her. An Xiaoyu looked at Bai Amaranth, then Chi Mo, and saw that they both stopped talking and stared at each other. He didn't know what had happened. Should he say a few words to smooth things out?
She thought about it and finally decided to break the awkward atmosphere. She was about to speak but heard Bai Amaranth say again: "If you think about it well, I can't stop you, it doesn't mean that others can't, let alone......"
As she said that, she looked down at An Xiaoyu, and wanted to say something, "Anyway, you'd better.... You understand."
Chi Mo reached out and touched An Xiaoyu's little head, and smiled and said, "I won't regret it, and I can no longer look back."
Bai Xian stared at Chi Mo for a long time, then looked at An Xiaoyu again, and said, "You can do it yourself." He turned around and walked away.
The corridor was empty, as if nothing had happened.
An Xiaoyu asked with some concern: "Is it very serious?"
Chi Mo looked at the other end of the corridor, not knowing what he was thinking. He heard her question, lowered his head and smiled, "It's okay."
An Xiaoyu nodded and continued to walk forward with Chi Mo, his steps becoming more compact.
Finally, the two of them arrived at a obviously remote corner, with a corner with only one door at the end, and there was no room marked. Chi Mo took out a door card to open the door. Then he looked down at An Xiaoyu and found that she was a little panting, so he reached out to help her wipe her sweat, and apologized: "I'm too anxious."
An Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's okay, where is this?"
Chi Mo took her into the door, and after entering, he found another corridor: "This is an emergency area reserved during the construction of the base, isolated from the outside, no one will find it."
There were some people walking around in the corridor, holding electronic notepads, or holding boxes and tools, coming out of the open door and going to another door, as if they were doing something amazing, or related to Chi Mo's "can't look back".
Chi Mo placed her in an idle room, which was at the end of the corridor, and there were several rooms with closed doors next to it. I don’t know what to do. The nervousness revealed in the entire corridor made An Xiaoyu a little nervous. She grabbed Chi Mo’s sleeve: “When will you come next time?”
Chi Mo was about to leave when she heard her question, she suddenly turned around and hugged her in her arms, hugging her tightly, making her feel the reluctance she brought with her. She felt even more that what might have happened to Chi Mo this time, and she could never see him again.
But he said, "Soon, I'll see you soon!"
