Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

The car was quiet for a long time, neither of them spoke.

Qu Mingcong's brain repeatedly recalled every sentence Xiang Ping said, from the first sentence to the last sentence——

No.

Why not?
His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and loosened again unconsciously. After a few times, the palms gradually overflowed with a sticky feeling, like poisonous insects lurking in the hot rainforest, and came out bit by bit along the pores. Wriggling, no matter how hard you squeeze, you can't suppress the chill.

"It's not a person..." he murmured, "If it's not a person, why would He Qile call me sister when he saw me? Could it be that 'it' is not He Qile's sister?"

Xiang Ping was stunned, "...Although she lacks human qualities, for Xiao Le, she is someone she can communicate with. Calling her sister is just his personal habit."

Qu Mingcong twitched the corner of his mouth, "It makes sense..."

Xiang Ping looked at his expression carefully, and asked softly, "Do you have any clues about 'it'?"

Qu Mingcong looked at her, "Why do you think I know the whereabouts of 'it'? What do you base your judgment on? According to what you said before, He Qile didn't find a target in the brains of me and my family and friends. Clear my suspicions?"

Xiang Ping frowned slightly, "Mr. Qu, I thought I had explained it clearly enough. Are you still unwilling to cooperate with our investigation?"

"I don't know the basis for the judgment, so I can't cooperate with you." Qu Mingcong replied.

Xiang Ping sighed helplessly, "Okay...then I'll just say it straight, we installed bugs in your car and your home, and found that you would talk to yourself intermittently, although we haven't noticed it yet. The target, but your performance should be talking to 'it', so we suspect that 'it' learned to hide itself during the period of disappearance, which caused Xiao Le to be unable to find 'it'."

"What if 'it' keeps hiding?" Qu Mingcong asked.

"That's impossible." Xiang Ping shook her head lightly. "Hiding in someone else's consciousness and never showing up is no different from being sentenced to life imprisonment. If it doesn't come out for a long time, it can only mean that 'it' has been transferred to somewhere else."

Qu Mingcong didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiang Ping observed his expression, and said slowly: "Do you think that 'it' appears regularly? I didn't find that you had any communication today. Does 'it' only appear when you are alone?"

Qu Mingcong glanced at her, "I'm not sure, I need some time to think about it, if I have a clue... I will contact He Qile."

Xiang Ping silently looked into his eyes, as if judging the truth of his words.

The driver in front slowed down and reminded: "The botanical garden is ahead, which door should I stop at?"

"The nearest door." Qu Mingcong replied quickly.

Knowing that he meant to end the conversation, Xiang Ping looked a little disappointed, but also recovered a little indifference, and sat quietly in the car.

The car stopped by the side of the road, and Qu Mingcong opened the door to get out of the car.

The moment he was about to close the car door, he stopped, turned around, leaned over to look at Xiang Ping in the car, and said, "I have one last question."

Xiang Ping frowned and looked at him.

"If you find 'it'..." he asked, "what will happen to 'it'?"

Xiang Ping answered him calmly: "Of course it is a rescue within our ability."

Qu Mingcong: "Save?"

"The outside world is too dangerous, and 'it' lacks the traits that a human being should have, and it is easy to die silently." Xiang Ping said, "We have devoted a lot of time and effort, and there are many valuable scientific research results , all because of 'it', so you can rest assured that we will protect 'it' like we protect Xiaole."

After hearing this, he didn't know what it was like, he closed the car door gently, and murmured: "Is it like protecting a giant panda? Didn't she lose her in the end..."

He turned and walked towards the botanical garden gate.

……

There are still many tourists in the botanical garden.

Because Qu Wan fell into the water in the artificial lake, the park temporarily added a safety warning sign and erected it by the lake in the afternoon. As soon as Qu Mingcong approached, a security guard came to remind him.

Qu Mingcong explained that his mobile phone had fallen into the water, and he had to go into the water to retrieve it anyway. The security guard was stunned, and recognized him as a family member of a tourist who fell into the water in the morning. He immediately took him to the duty room, then took out a mobile phone, and placed it on his before.

"The lanyard is broken." The security guard told him, "You dropped it on the ground when you left. Some tourists picked it up and handed it to us, but the phone is already soaked in water. You should quickly find a place to repair it."

——When Qu Mingcong dragged Qu Wan ashore, Qu Wan struggled a lot, probably broke the mobile phone strap at that time.

He picked up his mobile phone, and the wet half of the lanyard hung on his hand, with a cool feeling permeating his skin.

The security guard kindly reminded him: "Don't turn on the phone, you can't turn on the phone if it is soaked in water."

"Well, thank you." Qu Mingcong came back to his senses, put the mobile phone together with the lanyard into his jacket pocket, turned around and left in a hurry.

After leaving the botanical garden, Qu Mingcong took a taxi to the nearest maintenance point.

The maintenance master felt that there was not much need for repairs, and advised him to get a new phone, but Qu Mingcong still insisted, even though the cost of repairing and replacing parts almost caught up with the price of buying a new phone.

He waited a long time at the maintenance point.

While waiting, I repeatedly asked myself, would she feel when the phone was submerged in water?Will she be scared if the phone won't turn on?Will the part replacement affect her? ... But if the parts are not replaced, the phone cannot be repaired. How should he choose?

My mind is getting more and more chaotic, full of unsolvable questions.

But after asking and asking, all the questions came down to one question in the end: what should I do if she is gone?
As Xiang Ping said, he couldn't understand this form of existence, nor could he imagine how the mobile phone, as the carrier of her existence, would affect her if something went wrong.

The sun is gradually setting, and the maintenance work is coming to an end.

Qu Mingcong stared at the maintenance staff as they reinstalled the disassembled mobile phone. All his nerves were tense. He thought that he might need to prepare mentally in advance, but the maintenance staff did not give him this opportunity at all. Boot——

Qu Mingcong's breathing was stagnant, staring at the boot animation played on the phone screen.

"Here, it's fixed." The maintenance staff returned the phone to him, "Take a look."

Qu Mingcong froze for a few seconds before reaching out to take the phone, "...is everything in it?"

"I'm not sure, you should check it, look at the album folder and so on... If any files are damaged, there is nothing you can do. Your machine is too flooded, and it will be good if it can be repaired."

Qu Mingcong didn't look at the photo album, the first thing he did was to open the game app.

The login status is invalid, and you need to log in again... Then the identity verification, receive the verification code, and log in successfully...

After the page was loaded, the beautiful girl smiled and waved to him on the screen.

The mobile phone repairer glanced at the probe, and said with a smile, "You play this too? Yes, big brother Krypton Gold, my wife still lives in the one-bedroom apartment at the beginning of the game."

Qu Mingcong stared blankly at the phone screen, feeling that his heart was still soaking in that icy artificial lake...

Otherwise, should I change the profile?Alas... I really don't know how to write an introduction, I have a headache
