Volume 7: Frost Chapter 47: Generate Electricity
Lin Shunan sent Guan Nuo to the gate of Tangjiang City Public Security Bureau.
After getting off the car, Guan Nuo walked to the door of the Special Operations Department's office with a restless heart. When he opened the door, he saw Sun Yu looking up and looking at him in surprise.
Sun Yu asked, "You came back so soon? Did you get any reaction after catching that guy?"
"I caught him." Guan Nuo closed the door and walked to the seat and sat down.
"Where are Cao Ming and Zhai Xiaolei?"
"They have something else to do," Guan Nuo whispered. He looked up at Sun Yu, then glanced at Tang Butian's seat. He said, "My mother is missing."
"Didn't Aunt go on a business trip with Section Chief Jiang and the others?"
"They disappeared together. They went into the desert from Luo Town," Guan Nuo said incoherently. "I didn't know they were going to the desert. I thought they were going to a meeting."
"Are you going to Luo Town?"
"Yes, Uncle Wen said someone will come to pick me up."
Sun-woo walked into the pantry and took a bottle of salty soda from the refrigerator.
When he came out, Zhaocai followed him out.
Sun Yu handed the soda to Guan Nuo, "Drink some water, and then think about what to bring to the desert. I have a power bank here, and also, does your dad know?"
Guan Nuo took the soda and shook his head. "I'll send a WeChat message to my uncle and tell him I'm on a business trip."
Sun Yu said: "With the section chief and Jiang Ge here, everything will be fine."
Guan Nuo raised his head, "Really?"
"Of course," Sun Yu pulled his chair forward and sat down. "Look, they left the day before yesterday. Today is the fourth day. It will take a whole day to get from Tangjiang to Luozhen. The earliest they could enter the desert was the day before yesterday, right?"
"Yes, my mother sent me a message the day before yesterday."
"If he went missing yesterday, it's been less than 48 hours. Auntie is a senior. I've seen the cases they handled. Really, compared to them, what we have now is like playing. You have to trust Auntie, the Section Chief, and Brother Jiang. They are all very capable."
Guan Nuo unscrewed the cap of the salt soda bottle and took a sip, "I know."
"Advisor Zhuang and the others will definitely do their best to find him."
"I know."
"The section chief is from the mountain. If she goes missing, they will definitely send someone from the mountain."
"I, I know everything. I was just panicking. I," Guan Nuo took a deep breath. "I, after my dad disappeared, I, I was very scared. I was also scared for my mom. So they arranged a very leisurely job for my mom to protect us. But my mom couldn't get along with the people in her unit. Later, she met Uncle Zhu, and things got much better."
"They asked you to go to the desert because you know divination and can figure out your aunt's location, right?"
"Yes."
"Just go, figure out the location, and rescue your aunt."
"I know. I, I'm just panicking."
Zhao Cai wagged his tail and walked between Guan Nuo and Sun Yu.
"Why don't you bring some recruits with you?" Sun Yu suggested.
"ah?"
"Aren't animals better at finding people?"
“No, that’s not necessary,” Guan Nuo refused. His expression relaxed a little. He said, “I heard from Uncle Wen that the situation should be okay. I, I…” He took a deep breath and exhaled, “I don’t know anymore. I, I must find my mother back.”
"You will," Sun Yu picked up the phone on the desk, took a look and said, "I'm going to the technical department, call me if you have anything."
"Okay, okay."
After Sun Yu left the office, Guan Nuo stood up, walked a few steps, and then walked back to sit down. He took out three copper coins from his pocket, looked at them for a while, and was about to throw them up when an orange light rushed towards him.
Guan Nuo stepped back holding the copper coin, and the chair made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.
Zhaocai jumped onto the desk.
It bent its body and stared at Guan Nuo's hand.
"Recruiting talents?"
Zhaocai suddenly jumped forward.
Guan Nuo watched Zhao Cai flash past his hand, then seemed to grab something and rolled on the ground. Guan Nuo looked intently, and gradually he saw a figure coming out, from blurry to clear, it was the little girl.
Zhao Cai bit her arm.
Her face and body were covered with deep wounds.
"It's you?" Guan Nuo recognized her.
The girl looked at Guan Nuo pleadingly.
"Let's stop recruiting for a while," said Guan Nuo.
Zhaocai ignored it and continued biting and scratching on its own.
"Have you been following me?" Guan Nuo asked.
The girl's eyes fell on his hand holding the copper coin.
Guan Nuo opened his hand. He looked at the coin and then at the girl. "You were attached to it? Did it start that night?"
The girl nodded.
"what you up to?"
The girl looked at him and said nothing.
"Can you speak?"
The girl nodded again.
"Are you a ghost?"
The girl shook her head.
Guan Nuo sighed and said, "What is your purpose in following me?"
"I can help you find your mother," said the girl.
"If you don't tell me your purpose and explain yourself, I won't let you go. This is the Special Operations Department," Guan Nuo clenched his hands, his thoughts became clearer, and his speech became fluent. "I don't need you to help me find someone. If I let you go, you will disappear again, and I will remember nothing again. You, Zhaocai, please help me keep an eye on her, I, I will go find her and wait for them to arrive..."
The girl turned her head and looked at Zhaocai.
Zhaocai's body suddenly froze. Guan Nuo realized something was wrong. When he was about to move forward, the girl disappeared again. A few seconds later, Guan Nuo looked around blankly. Zhaocai's tail slapped the ground, then jumped onto the desk, and then jumped forward to lie on Jiang You's computer chair.
Guan Nuo took a sip of the soda, put the copper coin back into his pocket, sat down, and looked at his phone for a while. Then the office door was pushed open and a man in military uniform walked in. He said, "Are you Guan Nuo?"
"Yes," Guan Nuo stood up, "You are?"
"This is my ID," the man showed it to Guan Nuo, and then said, "Brother Zhu asked me to pick you up and take you to Luo Town."
"Okay, okay."
…
Jiang You was wearing sunglasses and lying in the tunnel, looking at the midday sun above.
The heat from the sun and the cool air coming through the door intertwined together, and a thin layer of mist shrouded the tunnel.
"The floor is too hard," Jiang You complained, "I miss my bed, it's soft and has good support. I miss the pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles next door, with a pork chop, the dough is soft and soaked in the soup," he swallowed and turned over, "I can't even read a novel, I have to buy a kindle and download some books in it. I think if you give me an instruction manual now, I can read it several times," he sighed, " When will this kind of life end?"
Jiang Mo sat on the protruding rock above, swinging his feet.
"It would be great if you could generate electricity so you can continue playing games. Go generate electricity, Pikachu." Jiang You said.
Footsteps were heard coming from the tunnel.
Tang Butian and Guan Qingtong came out.
They have walked everywhere inside and out.
Jiang Youkan looked at them and asked, "Did you find any treasure? Gold, gems, or something like that?"
"No." Tang Butian said.
"I was just thinking about what local specialties to bring back. I must bring mutton, and I also need to bring back a bottle of sand. I will never come to the desert again in my life. Then I thought of sugar. The sugar that Meng Xianyang mentioned, with raisins and dried fruits, I really want to try it. When I get out, I will take a good walk in Luo Town. I remember there is a lake in the desert, and there are fish in the lake. I want to eat some."
Guan Qingtong felt the positioning device in her pocket vibrate. She took it out and the green light was flashing.
She said, "They are almost here, let's go out."
