NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43
Chapter 43 Rescuing “Dolls”
Long Xi seldom showed her weakness in front of others. Even if she cried occasionally, most of her tears were of joy.
This was the second time that she shed tears of sadness in front of Mo Kun. The tears dripped down her face.
Mo Kun tenderly kissed away her tears which tasted salty and warm; each drop was as precious as a diamond to him.
Long Xi gave Mo Kun two bottles of mineral water to ease his thirst and briefly explained what had happened.
Mo Kun recovered a little of his strength and said, “Let’s go to the merry-go-round to look for grandma. We should not keep her waiting for too long. She must be worried.”
Mo Kun had a good memory and a good sense of direction as well. He recalled that the merry-go-round was in the north of the restaurant. He thought that if he used the reason of meeting grandma as an excuse and headed north, thereby reducing the distance between him and the MK7 mech, this would lessen the suspicions of the two behind-the-scenes operators.
He said to Long Xi, “I can barely walk now.”
So Long Xi held Mo Kun and they walked slowly towards the merry-go-round.
Mo Kun’s strong body was indeed a little heavy and almost half of his weight rested on Long Xi.
Long Xi smelled the salty sea water on him and he also smelled the odor of urine on her.
Mo Kun was angry! “How dare you treat my girl like this, Cheng Gong and Cheng Yilun, both of you will pay for this!”
Feeling his breath rasping with anger, Long Xi could not help smiling and comforted him. “I’m fine! I’m alive, aren’t I? And I’m sane and not hurt!”
Mo Kun whispered, “Who on earth brought us to this point? I will make them pay back ten times for this! As for you, the heroine who saved me, I will repay you ten times over with love!
Despite being in a harsh environment, Mo Kun’s love words still set Long Xi’s heart fluttering.
She blushed and said, “Lord Mo Kun, you are too good at sweet talking. Could you choose a better occasion to do it?”
Mo Kun looked at her red face and evasive eyes and couldn’t help laughing. “As long as I am alive, I will protect you well!”
They came to the merry-go-round and found grandma lying on the bench. She was fine, just tired and worried.
But Wei Wei was no longer at her original site.
Long Xi’s heart tightened. Would Wei Wei suffer the inhuman torture like Xu Xian’er? In her heart, she knew the answer, but she just didn’t want to face it.
“Wei Wei, I’m sorry! You have to be strong, hold on, we’ll come back for you!”
Long Xi’s tears flowed copiously.
Mo Kun’s heart ached for her and he tried to kiss away her warm tears.
Although Lord Mo Kun was still weak, Long Xi felt more at ease now that he was with them.
“Go to the puppet theatre, I’ve prepared a surprise for you!” The mature male voice sounded again. It was very gentle, but it made Long Xi shiver.
What would be waiting for them in the puppet theatre? Fear of the unknown was often the greatest fear.
She suddenly remembered that since Wei Wei was here, maybe Yu Lanjie would be here, too.
Mo Kun sensed that she was trembling and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
He had a lot of confidence now because he managed to make contact with the MK7, which would be here soon.
Speak of the devil.
Long Xi was surprised to see a platinum mech about two meters high suddenly dropping from the sky.
Mo Kun said, “This is my good partner, the MK7, the mech I invented. Let’s get into its cockpit. It’s safe.”
He gave orders to the MK7 through the high-intelligence chip and the MK7 immediately turned into a cool platinum sports car. But unlike general sports cars, it had two robotic arms with one weapon attached the end of each arm, a machine gun and a shining sword. The sword looked like the light saber in Star Wars.
Long Xi helped Mo Kun to get into the car first.
There was no steering wheel in the cockpit, but there were many buttons of different colors and shapes, which were very dazzling.
Long Xi brought grandma into the car and helped her into the back seat and strapped her seat belt on.
And then she sat in the co-pilot seat.
Mo Kun pressed a white triangular button and a fluorescent screen appeared in the window in front of him.
He pressed a black circular button and a red circular button. One of the headlights emitted black light, while the other one emitted red light.
Mo Kun told Long Xi, “The black one is the night vision device, which can let us see as clearly as an owl at night. The red one is the infrared detector, which is sensitive to human infrared radiation and can detect human beings. The gun is a high-energy particle gun, the sword is a plasma sword and the wheels are magnetic suspension wheels. It will go really fast, so hang on!”
He pressed a triangular black button and the sports car went into automatic driving mode, avoiding obstacles and driving quickly to the puppet theatre.
He, Long Xi and her grandmother had watched the puppet show, Peter Pan and Wendy, at the puppet theatre, so he knew the exact location of the puppet theatre.
After arriving at the entrance of the theatre, he let the infrared detector scan the inside through the window. There were two red figures on the fluorescent screen, one big and one small. Both of their postures were indescribably odd.
Mo Kun operated the two arms of the sports car and soon there was a big hole through the thick soundproof wall of the theatre.
The screams of two people could be heard.
Long Xi saw a tragic scene being performed on the stage through the big hole.
A girl in a light purple lace nightdress with light brown long curly hair, had her arms and legs pierced with wires. She was suspended on the stage and her nightdress was dripping with blood.
Her back was straight, her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably with the shaking of the wires and she was screaming in agony, “It hurts! Help! It’s so painful!”
She had thick white foundation on her face, crimson blush on her cheeks, had on turquoise contacts and long false eyelashes. Her hair was dyed a light brown and braided into two plaits. She was dressed as a Wendy doll and looked so different from her usual self that Long Xi did not recognize her at first.
But she recognized the voice.
Yu Lanjie, the owner of the voice, was a gentle person and she had never screamed like a wounded beast before.
Next to her was a blond boy dressed as Peter Pan, about four years old. Like Yu Lanjie, he was also suspended on the stage with wires passing through his body. He was screaming, too, but in English.
Long Xi said in a trembling voice, “It’s Yu Lanjie. Hurry and save her! Save both of them!”
Mo Kun nodded and pressed a square apricot button.
