Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1206 - 15: Alice in Wonderland
"Why don’t we just go back and play games?"
"I’ve never been fond of talking."
Wang Yunxiao turned his head and glanced at the girl beside him, asking softly, "You don’t remember?"
"Uh... so that’s it."
Jiang Xiaotang stared blankly for a while, then pursed her lips and tugged at the corner of Wang Yunxiao’s coat.
"I don’t like talking because I was bullied at school before."
Seeing her mood drop, Wang Yunxiao took the initiative to explain, "Just because they knew I had a girlfriend, everyone in school ostracized me. The seniors would beat me whenever they saw me. Don’t you remember?"
"Huh?"
Jiang Xiaotang was dumbfounded.
"I... I remember..."
"Really?"
"Really! I really remember, I just forgot earlier!"
"Let’s not talk about the past. How about we go have some ice cream?"
"Okay, I want a McDonald’s ice cream cone!"
They bought cones and walked out of McDonald’s, continuing to stroll down the street.
Jiang Xiaotang licked her ice cream bit by bit, constantly wanting to speak, but seeing Wang Yunxiao’s serious expression, she swallowed her words each time.
"Actually, Brother Yuanxiao, there’s something I want to tell you..."
Finally reaching the intersection, taking advantage of the red light, Jiang Xiaotang whispered, "My dad has already contacted the surgeon in the Capital for me and booked the surgery. But the doctor also said that the success rate of the surgery is hard to guarantee."
"What’s the doctor’s last name?"
"Huh?"
Jiang Xiaotang was shocked; I’m telling you I need surgery, and you’re asking for the doctor’s last name?
"I don’t know..."
"Is it Li?"
"Maybe."
"I know a surgeon named Li, quite skilled. I wonder if that’s the one your dad found for you."
"Eh? Maybe."
"I hope not."
"Why?"
Wang Yunxiao glanced at the fast-approaching truck and sighed, "Back then, I was dating her sister, right here. I bought her an ice pop, she ran onto the crosswalk, and got crushed by a truck that ran the light."
"Huh?"
Jiang Xiaotang was completely stunned.
The green light came on.
"I told you, don’t you remember?"
"I..."
The truck sped through the crosswalk without slowing, the howling wind knocking Jiang Xiaotang off balance, sending her tumbling forward.
With a squelch.
The truck’s rear wheel rolled over her body, splattering blood everywhere.
Wang Yunxiao watched coldly, unmoved.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The whole world started to peel away like a charred photograph, layers of ashes disintegrating into the air.
A brief beautiful dream quickly vanished, and Wang Yunxiao returned to his murky world.
He still held that comic book, now only half intact, sitting in the cold ruins.
A sound like the roar of a beast came from afar.
Wang Yunxiao followed the sound, spotting a giant female apparition, Godzilla-like in size, hovering in the sky a few streets away.
He noticed the shadows around him seemed more real, gradually revealing limbs and body features.
They gathered from all around, converging towards the giant woman.
The woman’s face lacked features, only a blank slate, drifted aimlessly over the city, seemingly searching for something.
The shadows surged forward, stripping some kind of fragments from her body. The giant woman didn’t resist, only covering her face with her hands, emitting a mournful wail that irritated Wang Yunxiao.
"Lilith..."
Hmm?
Who was speaking?
The sudden voice in his ear nearly made Wang Yunxiao think he was hallucinating.
He looked around and found Jiang Xiaotang, barefoot in a plain white dress, standing not far away, hands clasped to her chest, silently watching him.
Wang Yunxiao stood up and sniffed.
He smelled the sweet scent of honey.
The fragrance came from Jiang Xiaotang’s hands.
He walked over and took a look, discovering she was holding some clear liquid.
Water?
In this place devoid of resources, water was undoubtedly precious.
The girl slowly raised her hand, indicating for him to drink this precious water.
Wang Yunxiao shook his head, indicating he didn’t need it.
"Who is Lilith?"
The girl smiled faintly and turned to look at the drifting giant woman in the distance.
"She’s Lilith. Who are you?"
The girl smiled but said nothing, as if the voice hadn’t come from her mouth.
Damn it, not knowing enough when needed is a pain.
Wang Yunxiao felt that working for the Special Service Bureau these two years had exposed him to enough strange things, but he still couldn’t make sense of the eerie scene in front of him.
The girl remained silent, carefully holding the clear water, looking expectantly at Wang Yunxiao.
If you drink it, you’ll know everything.
I trust you like I trust a liar!
Who knows what’s in that? Whether it’s tampered or not!
Wang Yunxiao suddenly dodged, avoiding the incoming rifle butt from behind.
Instead of panic, he was pleased by the sudden attack.
The attacker wore an old-style Brocade-Clothed Guard uniform he was familiar with, wrapping up tightly, holding a Liuyun Rifle... though the design was primitive, Wang Yunxiao was sure it was from the Liuyun series.
A living person! A colleague! Finally found the organization!
Seeing the other person anxiously, Wang Yunxiao immediately raised his hands aside, indicating he was harmless.
However, the attacker didn’t give him a second glance. After pushing him away, their eyes fixated on the water in Jiang Xiaotang’s hands, removing their mask to lick it voraciously.
This was also a girl.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t recognize her, and she seemed... not quite normal.
As she licked the water clean, Jiang Xiaotang’s figure gradually disappeared.
The new girl swallowed hard, put on the mask again, and her body convulsed as if shivering, hugging herself and collapsing to the ground.
Wang Yunxiao furrowed his brows, considered, but decided not to disturb.
Who knows how long passed until the giant woman called Lilith gradually drifted away, and the new girl suddenly shuddered, struggling to get up from the ground, shaking her head, glancing coldly at Wang Yunxiao.
"Excuse me..."
"Shh—"
The girl put a finger to her lips. "Don’t speak, let me recover."
"Comrade, which unit are you from? What’s your name?"
Her accent didn’t seem Tianmen-like, rather southern.
Her behavior made Wang Yunxiao even more suspicious of what was in that water.
Why does it look like she got high?
After a while, the dazed girl finally regained clarity, put on her gas mask, and picked up the rifle from the ground.
"Handsome, what’s your name?"
"My name is Wang Yunxiao."
"Alice."
What the hell?
Wang Yunxiao thought he misheard.
Girl, you don’t look like a Foreigner.
"Like Alice in Wonderland, you know? Alice~"
The girl stood up, posing what she thought was an elegant stance, but due to her bulky gear, it appeared somewhat comical.
"Alice~ Alice~!"
Alright, this person’s mind is not clear.
Wang Yunxiao repeated his previous question.
"I’m... uh..."
Alice bit her finger and thought for a long time, "Special Affairs Bureau? Is it the Special Affairs Bureau? Or Investigation Bureau? Don’t remember... Doesn’t matter, it’s not important anyway. Handsome, did you see which way Lilith went?"
Wang Yunxiao pointed his hand in another direction.
"What are we waiting for? Let’s follow her!"
Alice regained her spirits, slung her rifle, and dashed out.
