Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Longing Deeply
Zhen Yu’s first reaction upon waking up was to hastily call the system, maybe it would know what had happened to her!
The result...
[I receive external information through you! Once you lose consciousness, it’s as if my reception window is closed.]
"I really... what use are you to me!"
[That’s why I strongly urged you to exchange for a System Elf!]
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu suddenly remembered!
"Then I’ll exchange it for you now! Once it’s done, hurry up and help me untangle these ropes!"
[Stop stop stop! The Little White Snake you want to exchange isn’t even as thick as the rope! How can I untangle it!]
"Then, then how about exchanging for a different Elf?"
[You can’t afford it! All Elves below 2000 points are micro-sized, your ability points and mall points combined are less than 1500! It would be the same whichever you choose!]
"... Can you not demoralize me? Will it kill you? Ah..."
When a familiar wave of dizziness and nausea suddenly struck, Zhen Yu knew she must have suffered another concussion.
After the dizzy spell passed, she even had the leisure to make a quip!
"Liu’er! Do you think having been hit by bricks so many times, my IQ might decrease?!"
[Would you drop it! Think about how to save yourself first!]
"I know! I got it! Just exchange the Elf for me first!"
While responding to the system in her mind, Zhen Yu’s thoughts delved into the space.
Kitchen knife, scissors, fruit knife! Which one would be more efficient?
[Ding! ’System Elf—Little White Snake’ exchanged successfully! Cost 1000 Mall Points.]
Almost at the same moment the system notification sounded, Zhen Yu hesitated no more and chose the scissors!
Perhaps because she had been injured on the back of her head, she was now tied up sitting, and her hands were tied behind her back.
This tying method could be said to be quite professional, just like in the movies! But for Zhen Yu who had scissors in hand, untying her feet was not too difficult.
Once she got the scissors, Zhen Yu immediately rolled onto the bed sideways! Then she bent her feet back with force, almost as if she was bending low while lying on her side.
"Crack—" Although the rope around her ankles was somewhat thick, under her considerable effort, it was eventually cut through.
Little White Snake, at this moment, had already scurried around once over Zhen Yu’s body and the room!
Upon seeing Zhen Yu sitting up straight from the bed, it quickly reported: "Your phone is missing from your pocket, not found in the room either, probably taken by someone! There are two bricks in the corner with blood stains, likely the crime tools! Besides that, I also found a bag! Inside were some old clothes, all men’s wear!"
While listening, Zhen Yu struggled to cut the ropes tied on her hands, but that was really too difficult.
She couldn’t even push the tip of the scissors in!
Having no choice, Zhen Yu had to quickly switch the scissors for a fruit knife and started to vigorously sever (saw) it!
Slicing naturally wasn’t as fast as cutting! Despite the knife being sharp, it still took a bit of time!
Thus, Zhen Yu’s hands didn’t stop moving for a moment, while her mind swiftly organized the clues, and she quickly stood up and walked to the window, wanting to confirm her current location.
Just one glance and Zhen Yu roughly knew where she was now!
The building diagonally across from the window was all too familiar to her! There was a shop sign there with four familiar big characters — Yishou Pharmacy!
That’s the name she witnessed being taken down! That’s the building where the Han Family Pharmacy is located!
——
After confirming her location, Zhen Yu hurriedly sat back down on the bed and even called Little White Snake to help tie the rope back around her feet.
[What are you doing?!]
"In case the bad guys come back suddenly! I still haven’t untied the rope on my hands!"
[Then you better hurry up!]
"Rushing me for what! Don’t I know I need to hurry?! The problem is, this isn’t easy to do!"
After trying to saw the rope with a knife for a long time with no success, Zhen Yu’s mood started to become irritable! Being hurried and provoked by the system, she simply gave up and said: "Ah, if worst comes to worst, I’ll just hide in the space!"
[You need to try harder! Keep sawing! Hiding in the space is a last resort! It’s too risky!]
"I got it! Can you please shut up for now?!"
[...]
Hmph! Stupid host, bad host, dumb host! Good intentions taken for granted! It’s angry!
Zhen Yu had no time to care whether the System was angry or not, just like it said, hiding in space was a last resort! So, if possible, she obviously should try her best to save herself first!
Keep sawing... Keep sawing...
Just when Zhen Yu felt the rope was almost sawed through, she suddenly heard a click sound from the door, someone was back!
No need to ask, Zhen Yu knew for sure that it must be the bad guys!
But what she wanted to know more at this moment was — whether the bad guys were people she knew? How many bad guys were there?
So, Zhen Yu didn’t pretend to be unconscious; she immediately turned her head to look at the door!
——
Upon seeing who it was, Zhen Yu instinctively wanted to shout out this person’s name! But since her mouth was sealed, the sound that came out was, "Mmm?!"
Hearing the noise, Ju Ming glanced towards the bed, then quickly flashed into the room and locked the door. "What’s up, bitch? Don’t you recognize me anymore?! I sat three years in prison because of you! During those three years, I’ve been ’missing’ you, oh Zhen Yu!"
"Mmm mmm mmm!" While making an expression as if she was frantic for him to release her, Zhen Yu calmly reached into the space and took out a voice recorder and switched it on, placing it behind her buttocks.
"You want me to let you go? Dream on!" Ju Ming said as he took off his hat and slammed it onto the bed, revealing the ’bald’ haircut that only a labor camp prisoner would have in this era.
He first stood in front of the bed and looked Zhen Yu up and down, then suddenly burst out laughing!
"Hehe! You’ve grown into a ’young woman’ after three years! Great! Just great!"
After saying this, Ju Ming put his bag on the bed and reached into it to pull out an old-fashioned camera!
"Holy crap!" Zhen Yu was shocked and cursed in her mind, and she also communicated through her thoughts to the System, "What is he taking out a camera for? It can’t be what I’m thinking, can it?!"
"Mmm mmm mmm mmm!"
Zhen Yu intentionally showed an anxious expression and fixed her gaze on the camera!
With her behaving this way, Ju Ming immediately looked over.
"Ha ha! You think I spent those three years in prison for nothing?!" Ju Ming first asked through gritted teeth, then suddenly changed to a more cheerful tone, "Anyway, my sister and your dad are already divorced..."
