White painted walls, cement floors, a folding single bed, and a set of ordinary wooden tables and chairs - she was trapped in this outrageously simple room, and once she opened the door, she would find...
Outside, there is a colorful mosaic.
Qiao Yueying: "Wow~"
This is definitely not the real world.
It's more like a virtual scene in a metaverse.
She opened the door repeatedly, closed the door, opened the door, closed the door... without any clue. Then she boldly stepped out of the room and approached the chaotic and gorgeous mosaics. She could faintly see some electrons with strange dazzling lights floating among them.
Qiao Yueying was in a daze: Isn't this a mobile phone?
Turning around and looking behind me, there was also a glowing electronic icon on the door: My sweet girlfriend.
You can also click on the icon to view the information. She read it word for word:
"A fun virtual girlfriend game. Exquisite character modeling brings visual enjoyment, various interactive forms simulate real experiences, and a massive collection system of clothing and props. Come and fall in love!"
She was stunned, wasn't this a lie? There was nothing in that shabby house, so it should be called a "poor girlfriend".
But this is not the point. The top priority is to figure out how to get out of here as soon as possible.
Her gaze was aimed at the "camera" among the pile of electronic icons in front of her.
If this place is really the internal world of the mobile phone, then the camera should be able to see the outside world if it is connected to the camera.
She walked towards the "camera" full of curiosity, until she came to the icon, touched it with her hand, and was instantly immersed in it. Her body seemed to turn into a string of shining electric currents. She just bent down and easily got into the "camera".
As she expected, there was a huge rectangular lens standing inside the "camera", like an erected movie screen, and she was the only audience in the cinema that reserved the room.
Through the lens, she saw the white checkered ceiling, beige walls, and half of a light blue medical partition curtain.
It should be a ward of a certain hospital, but the angle is very unfriendly. The phone is obviously placed on the table, and the effective information that can be seen is very limited. Fortunately, there is still sound.
"...The arm was slightly burned, but the shock was not small. You also know that for patients with Alzheimer's disease, a stable mental state is very important, and any stimulation is dangerous. In short, let her go for the next few days.
Just stay in the hospital and have a good rest. Taking care of her every day is very hard."
It sounded like the person speaking was a doctor, and his tone was very warm.
Then a man's voice sounded: "I looked at the surveillance video and saw that the nanny just went to the toilet. I didn't watch her for only six or seven minutes. She ran to the kitchen and knocked over the oil pot, burning a wall black. If the nanny in the kitchen was
If there were more flammable materials, or if the nanny came out later, I'm afraid the fire would be out of control."
"Alas." The doctor sighed and said with relief, "Fortunately, it was discovered in time and nothing serious happened. Don't worry, your mother will be in the hospital these days and the nurses will take good care of her."
"Thank you Dr. Zhao, I trouble you every time."
The man's voice was low and slightly hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night, and his words conveyed a heavy layer of fatigue.
Qiao Yueying felt that the voice sounded familiar. She was wondering where she had heard it before when the upper body of a man suddenly appeared in the camera. The man leaned over the phone and reached out to move the pillow on the hospital bed, so she saw the man's black cotton T-shirt.
T-shirt, from this angle you can’t see your face, but your neck and jaw are clearly visible.
Qiao Yueying stared blankly at a small mole on his neck, her thoughts completely confused.
This neck...
This neck...
This is Qu Mingcong’s neck!
"Oh my god, I like him so much..." Qiao Yueying covered her mouth and couldn't help herself with excitement, "But how could I be on Qu Mingcong's phone?! Oh my god..."
Not sure if he was aware of her presence, Qu Mingcong lowered his head and looked over - he had an extremely handsome face, with slanting eyebrows, a high nose, and especially well-grown eyes, which were deep and bright, making people think of the unruly people on the grassland.
Goshawk, with a completely natural aloofness and coldness.
Suddenly facing this face, Qiao Yueying was so nervous that her heart beat rapidly.
But Qu Mingcong seemed to be unable to see her.
"What's wrong?" Dr. Zhao asked.
Qu Mingcong frowned slightly, raised his hand and turned off the phone screen, "Nothing, the phone system may need to be updated, the camera just turned on by itself."
Dr. Zhao empathized and said: "My mobile phone is the same. It has become stuck after only one year of use, and I often browse program messages randomly. But I find it troublesome to change to a new mobile phone."
Qu Mingcong smiled, "Yes."
Dr. Zhao patted Qu Mingcong's shoulder lightly, "No more chatting. I'm going to see other patients. You stay here with your mother. If you need anything, contact me anytime."
Qu Mingcong nodded, sent the doctor out the door, and thanked him again.
A year ago, his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He took her to many hospitals and finally chose to seek medical treatment here. Although this disease cannot be truly cured, it is good to slow down the disease.
Over the past year, his mother's condition has been under good control, but he was occasionally confused. He couldn't keep an eye on her 24 hours a day, so he paid for a nanny. Who would have thought that the nanny only needed to go to the toilet, and his mother almost destroyed the house?
Burned.
When he thought of this, Qu Mingcong's chest felt heavy.
He couldn't imagine that if the nanny hadn't gone to the bathroom, but was lazy and sleeping without knowing that there was a fire in the house, how serious would the consequences be once the fire spread?
...He couldn't bear the consequences.
Compared with a year ago, he has changed a lot. He has become timid and unable to be strong. He just wants to support his parents like ordinary people, but it has become a luxury.
Qu Mingcong took a deep breath to suppress the sore emotions in his chest.
He looked at his mother on the hospital bed.
When she was sent to the hospital, she was crying and screaming. Several nurses could not suppress her. They used sedatives to calm her down. Now she finally fell asleep, with her eyebrows relaxed, like a normal person who was not sick.
Qu Mingcong stared silently for a long time. The nurse opened the door and came in to change the dressing. He came to his senses, looked at the time, got up and went downstairs to pay.
…
The hospital is bustling with people.
This place embodies most of the suffering in the world.
An old man asked tremblingly: "Doctor, why am I still not feeling better after taking medicine for so long?"
Some young people shouted angrily: "How could I get this disease? I don't smoke, drink, or stay up late, how is it possible?!"
A mother broke down holding her child and cried: "It was always fine before! How could this happen?!"
Yes, how could it be? How could it be possible? He also wanted to ask God, how could his mother get such a disease when she is not even sixty years old?... However, the world has always been like this, and it makes no sense at all.
Illness is like a storm, coming indiscriminately and turning your life into pieces.
After Qu Mingcong paid the fee at the self-service machine, he received a stack of receipts and went to the pharmacy.
Suddenly someone called him next to him: "Captain Qu?"
Qu Mingcong was slightly startled by the long-lost title. He turned around and saw a few familiar faces, which were his former colleagues.
"What a coincidence, Captain Qu." Zou Kai approached with a smile, his eyes falling on the pile of medicine lists in Qu Mingcong's hand, "Get medicine for your family?"
Qu Mingcong said a faint "Hmm" and glanced at these people, "Why did you come to the hospital? Are you on a mission?"
"Yes." Zou Kai didn't hide anything and replied generously, "Qiao Yueying, do you remember that she was the famous female prosecutor? She was in a car accident and was sent to this hospital. Let's come and investigate this.
case."
The team member next to him followed up and said: "The superiors suspect that the car accident was planned by social extremists. She has investigated many cases under her command, and the possibility of retaliation is very high."
"The matter is urgent. The bureau has just held a meeting and selected a few of us to set up a special operations team to investigate the matter."
"The prosecutor's office takes this case very seriously."
"Qiao Yueying is their key talent cultivation, and she has a background in the Standing Committee, so she must take it seriously..."
…
This is a world that has nothing to do with him.
Qu Mingcong listened calmly.
Zou Kai called to the team members behind him: "Okay, let's go, don't delay Team Qu's queue to get medicine."
These team members used to work in the hands of Qu Mingcong, but now they have been assigned by different leaders. They all looked a bit sarcastic and walked away one after another after saying hello.
Zou Kai deliberately stayed for a while longer. He looked at Qu Mingcong, with an unclear smile on his lips, and said, "Sorry, I'm used to being called Captain Qu before. In fact, you have been away from SWAT for so long. I shouldn't have called you Captain Qu just now."
Qu Mingcong lowered his eyes to look at the name of the medicine on the receipt, with an indifferent expression, "It's the same when you call me by name."
"It's not easy to remember your name, so I can only try my best to remember it... However, it is unlikely that we will have the opportunity to meet each other in the future, so there is probably no need to remember it." The smile at the corner of Zou Kai's mouth widened, with a bit of joy, "
You know, the current captain of the Blackhawks is me."
An obvious provocation.
Qu Mingcong didn't care. He lowered his head and sorted out the documents in his hands and replied, "Really? Let's do it well."
Zou Kai was not satisfied with his reaction, so he came closer and continued to show off: "The Black Hawks are the most outstanding SWAT team. As the captain of this team, I usually have a lot of work and heavy tasks. I attend various meetings, and
When speaking at a press conference, not everyone can meet."
Qu Mingcong raised his eyes and looked at him, "That's not necessarily true."
Zou Kai was slightly stunned, "...not necessarily?"
"Speaking at the press conference." Qu Mingcong said expressionlessly, "Those who are ugly will not be allowed to attend."
The smile on Zou Kai's mouth froze and his expression turned ugly.
But after all, he had just been entrusted with an important task, and his high self-confidence still prevailed. He quickly recovered, sneered proudly, and replied: "When it comes to face, I really can't compare with you. In the entire SWAT, you are the only one who can rely on your face to make a living."
, who wouldn’t envy you?”
Not to be outdone, he taunted Qu Mingcong, saying that a big man could only show off his appearance.
But Qu Mingcong only replied: "Then come on."
Zou Kai's face was ashen.
Qu Mingcong turned around and went to the window to queue.
When the team members in the distance saw that Zou Kai was not coming, they came back one by one. Looking at Qu Mingcong, who was submerged in the long queue outside the pharmacy window, they sincerely sighed: "It feels like Team Qu has changed a lot."
Zou Kai snorted coldly, "Can it remain the same? Try washing, cooking and serving patients every day instead?"
Even a general who is decisive and decisive on the battlefield, as long as he is besieged in the back house and has to deal with the household chores every day, sooner or later he will become as mother-in-law as the wife in the back house.
"This guy Qu Mingcong will probably be like this for the rest of his life." Zou Kai withdrew his gaze in disgust, "Let's go, there must be no mistakes in this mission."
