Chapter 117 Interlude
Jiang Ning was shocked. She had never thought that there would be such a solution.
But if you think about it carefully, what the puppy said seems to be right. How could it be possible that there is only one species in the world, humans?
But Jiang Ning reacted quickly, picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at the puppy.
He smashed and cursed:
"You didn't tell me about this good stuff earlier, so I have to worry about this and that for you. I think you did it on purpose!"
The puppy dodged the blows he hit him, explaining himself as he dodged:
"Why didn't you say that earlier? Besides, you didn't ask me, did you? If you asked me, I might have told you."
Jiang Ning threw the pillow on the bed and said to the puppy:
"Alright, alright, I won't waste any more time talking to you. Just tell me where your kind are and how to find all this stuff quickly. The sooner the better."
The puppy ran to a table at the side, sat down by himself, and ate an orange on the table.
it says:
"Okay, okay, I get it. However, the connection between us is special and invisible to ordinary people. But since you can see me, I guess you can see them too."
Jiang Ning asked doubtfully:
"Oh, so how do you communicate with each other? By voice?"
The puppy paused for a moment, then threw the tasteless orange to Jiang Ning. She peeled the skin, took one bite, and spit it all out.
The puppy has sucked up all the orange, and the remaining part is like chewing wax.
It floated to a high place where Jiang Ning couldn't reach it. Jiang Ning was so angry that he was spinning around on the ground, but he couldn't reach it.
Jiang Ning said angrily:
"I see you don't want your body anymore? Hurry up and get off my feet!"
The puppy knew that he would be beaten if he came down, so he continued to circle in the air. Finally, he left only one sentence:
"You're really smart. That's basically what I mean. As long as I send a signal here, they will be able to get here right away. After all, our speed is thousands of times faster than yours."
Then he began to float and circle in the air in a regular pattern, accompanied by soft and dense talking sounds.
The sound didn't seem like it could come from a human mouth, but all Jiang Ning could see was the puppy's soul.
It was unknown what strange ritual the puppy was performing, so Jiang Ning decided not to disturb it. It made a series of strange whimpering sounds, which sounded like the whistling sound of a strong wind.
And it seemed that only Jiang Ning could hear it, and no one else in the family showed any unusual reaction.
Suddenly, the lights in the villa went out.
Jiang Ning was frightened by this sudden change. She screamed and several aunts immediately rushed into her room, shouting:
"Miss, don't be afraid, it's just a power outage, we'll be here soon!"
This was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
The aunts came in with flashlights, and the light beams suddenly gathered in front of Jiang Ning, illuminating the entire room like daytime.
Aunt Wu was the first to rush to Jiang Ning to show concern for her. She immediately asked about her well-being:
"What's up, miss? Are you okay? We were also startled just now. The housekeeper said it might be a sudden power outage. It will probably be back on soon. Miss, don't be afraid."
But Jiang Ning's gaze drifted to the sky. She looked at the puppy still in the sky again and immediately realized that all this might have been caused by it, and she must not let outsiders disturb it.
So Jiang Ning pretended to be calm and said:
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm not scared, I just think I stepped on a mouse. Hey, Auntie, have you done the house cleaning these days? Why are there still mice? How about you do the insect repellent again?"
"Ah... this... shouldn't be the case."
The aunt did hesitate, and she began to scratch her head and wonder if she had done her job well.
But on second thought, it is impossible because after their cleaning work is done, the housekeeper will come to inspect it.
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember that our disinfection work has always been done very well. The boss has never encountered such a thing since he moved in."
Jiang Ning originally thought that he could just find a random excuse to get rid of them, but today, for some reason, the aunt acted like she was possessed and kept holding on to her excuse.
Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with a solution, and said:
"Why shouldn't it be? This house is so big, isn't it possible that you can't clean every spot? How about this, I'll trouble you and the other aunties to clean the house again, and I'll pay you double the wages, and all of it will be on my head."
After Jiang Ning agreed to pay double the money, their words immediately changed again, but they still retained their original stubbornness:
"We do deworming regularly every week. We can't just ignore such a big creature. But since you said so, we can do it again."
Seeing that the situation was right, Jiang Ning immediately continued along this line of thought:
"Okay, then you guys go now. I'll be alone in this room. I don't need you guys to accompany me. I'll be going to bed soon."
A group of people left Jiang Ning's room in a mighty manner. Before leaving, Aunt Wu said:
"Okay miss, if you need anything, just call us. We'll be there whenever you call."
Jiang Ning nodded to indicate that he heard it, and then immediately locked the door.
She could see the puppy and found that what had just happened didn't seem to have any effect on it.
But Jiang Ning still couldn't see any other creature of the same kind as it except the puppy.
Her biological instinct told her not to disturb the puppy, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Just as Jiang Ning was planning to speak, the puppy flew down from the sky and said to Jiang Ning with a look of joy:
"Great, I've contacted them all, they'll be here soon!"
In fact, looking at the puppy's expression, Jiang Ning knew that it had almost succeeded.
But she still wanted to hear the good news from the puppy herself, and then give it the warmest praise:
"Really? That's awesome! I knew you could do it!"
Then, Xiao Gou told Jiang Ning everything that might happen next, as a precautionary measure for her:
"But it might be a little weird. After all, there are people who die in all kinds of ways. Don't be too scared. Anyway, no matter what happens, I will protect you."
Jiang Ning patted his chest and shouted the slogan louder than anyone else:
"It doesn't matter. After all, I've also been tortured by terrorist websites. I'm not even afraid of you, so how can I be afraid of them?"
But as soon as he finished saying this, Jiang Ning regretted it.
She could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment. To outsiders, this was still an ordinary bedroom with nothing in it, but to Jiang Ning, the atmosphere had changed.
Jiang Ning subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and then asked the puppy:
"Are they coming?"
The puppy said a word meaningfully:
"Ah."
Jiang Ning asked again:
"What about now? Can I open my eyes and see them?"
In a trance, not knowing whether it was the confusion of time and space or something else, Jiang Ning felt that the surrounding environment became noisy, as if many people were whispering.
All of this experience is so real that it can't be more real, which indicates that those things are really coming.
The puppy reminded softly:
"You can slowly open your eyes now, but be sure to be mentally prepared. I will not be responsible if you get scared."
Jiang Ning put his hand down and could feel the light, thinking that the power supply system must have been restored.
But when she turned around, she saw a scene that she would never forget.
I saw the room was filled with all kinds of strange "people", some of them had no arms, and some had no legs.
What Jiang Ning feared the most was the one without facial features. His whole face looked as if it was randomly pieced together and was extremely hideous and terrifying.
Or perhaps these things cannot be called people at all, but rather a bunch of illusory things like fog, just like the state of the puppy when Jiang Ning first saw it.
Unconsciously, Jiang Ning's voice trembled as he asked the puppy:
"Is this the rescuer you called for?"
She didn't even realize it herself, but she was actually afraid of these things from the bottom of her heart.
It’s just that the puppy looks like Gu Yuan, so she is not afraid of it, but these are different, they don’t even have the shape of a person.
The puppy peeled off the pile of things, came to Jiang Ning, and said:
"Yes, don't worry, they are all good things and will not hurt you. Only good things are worthy of such a form. Bad things will go to hell."
