Chapter 49: 730

Dark clouds gathered in the sky during the day, and sure enough, it started raining at night. The raindrops connected into threads. Looking out from the window, one could see the hazy lights lighting up on the opposite side.

The current time is 8 PM.

Wei Yunmo leaned against the window looking out. The house was very deserted. Mr. 39 hadn't returned for two days, leaving a large house centipede staring at him on the wall. Someone brought food up every day, so he didn't have to worry about food, but, when exactly was Mr. 39 coming over?

What was Mr. 39 busy doing?

Wei Yunmo rested his head on his arms, watching the endlessly dripping raindrops outside the window, his inner curiosity urging him to uncontrollably imagine.

Mr. 39 must be completing some secret mission. Could it be related to the laboratory? Is it to kill some high-ranking official in the laboratory? Will he get hurt? Will he have formidable teammates? Will his teammates betray the organization? Will he kill those teammates?

Is there any cooperation or connection between his affiliated organization and the laboratory?

Thinking about these strange questions kept Wei Yunmo endlessly entertained. He even fantasized, what if Mr. 39 died during the mission? Would someone else come to take over Mr. 39's work?

Wei Yunmo thought, if such a thing really happened, he would be... sad, right?

At this time, the black cat that circled along the eaves every day jumped to his window to shelter from the rain, shaking off the water on its body, sitting on the windowsill, looking melancholically at the rain that wouldn't stop anytime soon.

The black cat also had a pair of dark green eyes, was equally aloof towards everyone, with an attitude of ignoring people, and was similarly a powerful predator.

Wei Yunmo had seen the black cat hunting. It caught mice in its paws and played with them maliciously, which always made Wei Yunmo feel that the black cat was a bit like Mr. 39.

But right now, the stray black cat looked a bit pitiful.

Wei Yunmo opened the window, and the cold wind from outside blew in all at once. He said, "It's very warm inside the house, do you want to come in and hide?"

The black cat looked at him warily, then looked him up and down critically, and stepped elegantly, jumping into the house.

Wei Yunmo hurriedly spoke.

"Hey, you are soaking wet all over, you can't get on the sofa!"

The black cat ignored him and occupied the softest pillow on the sofa.

"Alright." He couldn't be too harsh on a little kitten, could he?

Wei Yunmo ran into the bathroom to get a towel, thinking of wiping the black cat down, but as soon as he went over, the black cat warily jumped to the other side, not even letting him touch a single hair.

It looked like it had just come in purely to shelter from the rain.

Hmm, a kitten with a very strong sense of boundaries.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door. Wei Yunmo turned to look, and in that instant, even he himself didn't know his inner emotions could become so pleasantly surprised, "Mr. 39! You're back..." The words were instantly blocked in his throat.

Xie De was drenched by the rain, exuding a cold aura from head to toe. His wet clothes clung tightly to his flesh, and his face was a bit pale. He completely ignored Wei Yunmo, his footsteps hurried, pulling open the door to his room and walking in.

Wei Yunmo followed him, a bit panicked.

"Are you hurt? What's wrong? Are you unwell somewhere? ..."

With his back to him, Xie De felt around for a syringe in the cabinet, rolled up his sleeve to reveal a pale white wrist, and just like that, pressing on his vein, he stabbed the syringe in. The liquid in the syringe was quickly pressed and injected.

Wei Yunmo heard Xie De's low, enduring gasps, and saw his hand in a death grip on the corner of the cabinet to support his body. Dark blue veins popped out on the back of his hand, and water dripped from his silver hair onto the floor.

He was simply as pitiful as the black cat that had just been in the rain, maybe even a bit more pitiful.

Wei Yunmo looked at the syringe thrown on the floor, almost unable to hear his own voice.

"Mr. 39, what is that?"

Xie De didn't answer him. He walked over himself and picked up the syringe, clearly seeing the two characters on it.

Wei Yunmo felt his hands shaking.

This was a kind of ultra-strong painkiller, suitable for acute, severe pain and situations requiring rapid analgesia. Long-term use builds tolerance, making one even more numb.

"Mr. 39..."

"Get out."

Xie De finally felt the pain in his body lessen a bit. He looked up at the little villain standing at the door. This little guy was probably frightened by him, standing motionless at the door looking at him.

He helplessly repeated it once, his voice pressed very heavily, appearing a bit wretched.

"Get out."

The little villain clutched his syringe in his hand, lowered his eyes, and finally obediently closed the door and walked out.

Xie De exhaled a breath, settling for leaning against the cabinet and sitting on the floor. He took out his phone, then threw it viciously onto the bed.

"Gibberish! I hate you."

Before entering the scenario, he had randomly found a small hotel to stay in. After coming out, he conveniently charged Gibberish. He had thought this guy would at least know a little restraint and not charge his host to the point of exploding again, but obviously, he had overestimated it.

After the last charging explosion incident, Xie De's body naturally and unavoidably suffered some aftereffects of being shocked. It damaged his nerves, and sometimes later he would feel pain. This pain wasn't particularly severe, just rather hard to bear.

He originally wanted to go to the hospital to get some ordinary painkillers, but it seemed he ran into a doctor who loved to let his imagination run wild.

Yes, he still remembers that doctor's complicated look, it seemed the misunderstanding was quite serious. Actually, his electrical burns weren't as exaggerated as they looked on the surface, but that doctor completely ignored his explanations and very seriously prescribed him something high-grade.

The pain-relieving effect was top-notch.

But he didn't need to use it!

It was also fortunate that he brought it home and didn't use it at the time, so this time it could save him some suffering.

The icon on the phone screen spun and spun, churning out Gibberish's guilty voice.

"Sorry, I didn't think it would be like this. Are you feeling better now?"

"What do you mean you didn't think it would be like this, wasn't it like this last time? Hiss, it hurts to death."

"Um..." Gibberish was guilty and hesitant, "Host, I really didn't know it would be like this. It might be that your electronic devices are too outdated..."

Xie De sneered.

"Gibberish, do you dare to repeat what you just said?"

Gibberish played dead. Then, a familiar yet unfamiliar electronic voice came from the phone, "Hello, Mr. Xie."

!

What the hell?

Xie De's expression froze. Wait a minute! He seemed to have heard this voice before. Oh, isn't this the voice of the scenario system? Holy crap! Gibberish, you kid are playing for real! You actually managed to woo them?!

Wait, could the electrical current have been caused because the scenario system used his phone as a medium to come to the real world?

Good heavens, chasing me down to kill me.

"Mr. Xie?"

The scenario system's voice was much more polite in reality than in the instance.

"Uh, hello... to you?"

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am 730, and also the main system of the scenarios. I came over this time because of Gibberish's introduction. It told me that you could help me solve my problems in reality..."

The scenario system paused for a moment, as if organizing its words, and then it spoke coldly.

"Scum."

Me?

No! Gibberish, what nonsense did you agree to? What exactly did you promise?

730 continued.

"I hope to be able to cooperate with Mr. Xie.”
