Chapter 252 No One Is Waiting
Chen Ke didn't need to say anything, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. The mobile phone belonged to the consortium, and now they were exposed.
The newly appointed Mr. Blueberry would not be as sincere as he said. The operation of hunting Pangia was now under his command, and the arrest and interrogation of Shreli was also his idea.
He must not know that Chen Ke, or what he thought was Lin Mo, was running around with Shreli at this moment.
They booked a room in this small hotel for a week, but had to leave before they even stayed for 12 hours.
Chen Ke checked the weapons and equipment, put another psychic pistol into the holster, and then asked Louis and Lama to pack up the few things they had.
Speaking of which, they were all some of their spare clothes and boxes of bullets. When Louis and his friends bought replacement clothes before, they were quite smart and bought two backpacks to pack their things. Unexpectedly, they came in handy immediately.
Three men and one woman came out of the hotel with two bags on their backs. On the streets at night, they stepped on the wet road, and their noses were full of the smell of mud troughs in the suburbs.
Under the moonlight, the deep blue sea of clouds was rolling, but there was no wind. Shreli's car had been blown up by the consortium killers, and without a fixed residence, Chen Ke could not just bring everyone into the Kingdom of Vanhede.
If Chen Ke's things were gone in this world, could he come back at will? Chen Ke didn't want to take the risk.
The consortium's killers were out in full force and used a lot of resources to chase and intercept Pankia. No one knew where he was.
As Pankia's daughter, Shreli was also targeted by the consortium. If she wanted to settle down completely and safely, it seemed that she could only leave the city temporarily to avoid the limelight.
The four walked along the road for a while and saw a bus stop in front. Louis ran up to look at the sign. Judging from his expression, he should not be familiar with the City of Opportunities.
Chen Ke was not familiar either, so he could only look at Shreli.
Shrelily moved her sunglasses down slightly, and with the moonlight, she could barely see the name of the station on the sign. She turned to look at Chen Ke and said, "This is a night bus that can take us out of the city. It takes the interstate highway, and we can take it to the nearby Ganquan Town."
"Ganquan Town...how far is it from here?" Chen Ke asked.
"About 2 hours drive...about 20 kilometers." Shrelily said.
"It doesn't sound far, and it's convenient to come back, so let's go there first." Chen Ke said.
The four of them waited at the station for half an hour...and finally waited for the bus.
The bus was not big, at least smaller than a public bus. It was dark green and looked like an old car. There were not many people on the bus. The four got on the bus. He had no coins on hand, so he could only put a 10-unit coin into the coin box.
The four of them sat in the last row. Shrelily leaned against the window, looking at the countryside outside the window thoughtfully. The night bus started slowly, carrying people to Ganquan Town with the rumbling sound of the engine.
Shrelily had many questions to ask Chen Ke. In the phone call just now, the other party called her a killer of the consortium, which made her very concerned. Chen Ke did not hide anything. There were some things that she was destined to know.
"The Si Consortium is not a legitimate enterprise... Shrelily, your father is doing bad things for them." Chen Ke said.
Shrelily did not comment. She had no way to refute it, because no matter what she experienced tonight or Chen Ke's identity, she could no longer trust her father.
"What is your name...? Chen Ke? Lin Mo? Or Link? Or are these three names code names?" Shrelily asked.
"It doesn't matter." Chen Ke said.
"No, it's very important. Everything that happened tonight made me doubt that my childhood was fake... I always thought my father was a good man and a business elite. He has a bad temper, but he loves me very much and tries his best to let me have more..." Shrelily shook her head.
"I would rather believe that before this, his love for you was real. Shrelily, things are unpredictable, people's hearts are not the same, everything will change, and parents don't always give for free." Chen Ke sighed.
As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Parents are willing to give everything for their children, even to sacrifice themselves, but it is undeniable that not all parents are like this. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many abandoned babies and orphans in the world every year.
Even the most hard-hearted people will do some superficial work, and even the most cunning businessmen will set up foundations to help the poor and disaster relief, but when disaster strikes, how many people will stand up? And how many people will donate generously? And the blood relationship is not so strong. In the face of personal interests, human nature cannot stand the test.
"Do you Feihuang people talk like that?" Shreli smiled.
"Huh? What?" Chen Ke was puzzled.
"Forget it if you don't understand. I'm sleepy. Lend me your shoulder." Shreli sighed, stroked the sunglasses on her face, yawned lazily, leaned her head on Chen Ke's shoulder, and fell asleep.
Chen Ke did not push her away, as it would spoil the mood. Louis and Lamar were awakened by force in the middle of their sleep, and they fell asleep as soon as they sat down. The other few passengers in the car were also dozing quietly, so Chen Ke leaned back in his seat, emptying his mind and entering a daze.
In order to save fuel, the bus was dark without turning on the lights. The moonlight outside the window was hazy, as if it was covering the countryside with a white veil. In the distance, the black mountains were rolling, and every 8 seconds, a street lamp would pass by, making a "swish" sound.
At this time, it was drizzling in the sky, the moon was also covered by the sea of clouds, and the veil on the ground slipped quietly.
For some reason, Chen Ke felt that a song was automatically playing in his mind. It was a single "Im with you" released by Avril in 2002.
He recalled the familiar lyrics and couldn't help feeling that the song seemed to be his own voice.
It was a cold night. Can no one take me home? I waited in the dark. There was nothing here except rain. I tried to think about life. Is anyone trying to find me?
Will there be people exactly like him in this world? People who can only live in murderous aura and use life to replace psychic power... Chen Ke felt a kind of loneliness. For a while, he thought of Lucina, Pihom, and Lester, but he couldn't calm his strong sense of withdrawal.
He felt that he was an alien and couldn't devote himself to the life of ordinary people. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to text Lucina to chat, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
He patted his temple. When a person is in a daze, he will have random thoughts. It was the same in the lakeside cabin before. It seems that he must find something to do for himself.
A deformed soul appeared in his palm, which will increase Chen Ke's life limit by 3 hours. He felt a little bit wronged before, but now is the time.
No one saw it, and no one heard it. The broken dark soul was sucked into the sun mark on Chen Ke's chest, and his life limit was reset to the full value, becoming 24 hours.
So far, he finally has a full day of life...
