Baishixian Road

Chapter 271 The Number That Doesn't Exist
When dialing this number, Xu Mo's fingers trembled.

He didn't expect that he could really come back, he didn't expect that he would really have the opportunity to make this call.

There were many pedestrians on the road, seeing Xu Mo standing by the side of the road, staring at the small advertisement on the ground, making a phone call excitedly, and even shaking his hands, he felt a wave of contempt at the moment.

"You are young, don't learn well!"

"The advertisements are all liars. Do you believe that? This brother is not very smart."

The call was made.

"Hello, the number you dialed is empty!"

This sentence came from the phone.

Xu Mo was stunned.

He looked at the number carefully.

Re-enter, this time, be extra careful, he is afraid that he made a mistake last time.

However, even the previous number, when dialed, is still an empty number.

Xu Mo frowned.

He recalled carefully.

"That's right, it's this number, how could it be an empty number?"

Xu Mo called for the third time.

Naturally the result is the same.

"Even if the phone is turned off, or it prompts that it is temporarily unavailable, it is normal. It means that this number is used by someone, but if it is empty, it means that no one uses it, that is, it does not exist."

Xu Mo immediately fell into confusion.

His first reaction was to remember wrongly.

After all, since he returned to the real world and back home, he felt that his mind and memory were incomparable to those in that weird world before.

In that world, I can recall the details I casually scribbled more than ten years ago, as if I had developed my brain to the extreme.

So in that world, there is nothing that cannot be remembered.

There is no misremembering either.

But after returning to the real world, Xu Mo became a 'mortal'.

For ordinary people, it is impossible to achieve a photographic memory.

"No, I didn't just glance at that number casually, but I wrote it down carefully in my mind so that I won't remember it wrong."

"But what if I remember wrongly?"

Xu Mo was a little upset.

Because if he really remembered it wrong, it would be difficult to remember it again.

And once the thought of misremembering comes up, it will affect cognition. For example, after repeatedly calling this number and recording it repeatedly, Xu Mo feels that maybe, really, he may have misremembered the number.

So Xu Mo fell into a very strange state.

The more he tried to remember the 'correct' number, the more he couldn't remember it, and the more he thought that the previous number was wrong, the more he felt that it was not this number.

In the end, Xu Mo squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

My head hurts.

It's really like needle pricks.

This pain also appeared last night and this morning.

Like overuse of the brain, or like having sunstroke, and then suddenly poured a bottle of iced drink, the whole person is in pain.

It took a long time to slow down.

Xu Mo broke out in a cold sweat.

With doubts and confusion, the drowsy Xu Mo returned home, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I slept until most of the night before waking up.

Feeling much better.

There was a missed call on the phone, Xu Mo looked at it, and it was marked as 'Leader'.

Call back.

After a while, a man's voice came.

"Xu Mo, why didn't you answer the phone?"

Xu Mo thought for a while before realizing that this should be a vice president in the company, by the way, he seems to be an office worker.

Almost forgot about it.

"What's the matter?" Xu Mo asked.

The other party was stunned.

It is estimated that he was unable to speak because of this rather cold way of chatting.

However, the vice president is still reserved.

"Come to my office tomorrow morning!"

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Did not get mad on the spot.

Xu Mo smiled and ignored the call at all.

For him, whether it is important or not to go to work, it is dispensable to him now. Xu Mo would have forgotten that he was still an office worker if the other party hadn't reminded him.

Xu Mo found that since he came back, it was difficult for him to integrate into the original life in this world.

This discomfort is also normal, and it will diminish over time, and may slowly return to the right track.

But definitely not now.

After washing his face, Xu Mo regained consciousness a lot.

"If you get into a dead end, you will get a headache easily. This may be one of the side effects of coming back from there." Xu Mo first affirmed a point.

Because he had more than one headache.

I have to go to the hospital to take a CT scan or something to check if there is any problem with my brain.

In addition, Xu Mo knew that he must have remembered the number correctly.

"I remember that number very clearly, and it is impossible to remember it wrongly. Just because the number is empty, it does not mean that no one uses it. It may also be a canceled number, or other reasons. You can consult a professional about this."

Xu Mo turned on the computer and checked.

The mobile phone number corresponds to a certain large telecommunications operator, and Xu Mo directly dialed the customer service hotline of this operator.

After a complicated navigation process, Xu Mo finally found the manual entrance.

Fortunately, it was in the middle of the night, and there were few people calling, so it was easy to get through.

The customer service staff who answered the phone had a gentle female voice, and Xu Mo was also simple and clear, asking the other party to look up the number he wrote down.

"I'm really sorry, this number has not been activated. If you want to apply for this number, I can make a record for you. Tomorrow, you can bring your ID card and go to the nearest business hall to apply."

The customer service staff is still very professional.

So much so that Xu Mo wanted to inquire about the information of the previous owner of this number, but he found out nothing at all.

The other party said that after the number was canceled, the system could not find any information.

So, nothing can be done.

Xu Mo was sure that he remembered correctly, so the previous owner of this number should be Zheng Chao.

Only him.

But if you can't find any information in the system, it's useless.

All of a sudden, I got stuck here again.

At this time, Xu Mo had an idea and entered the number into a search engine, but he didn't find any valuable clues.

"Tomorrow, I'll find the largest communication office and see if I can find anything."

Xu Mo could only think of this way right now.

After finally surviving until dawn, Xu Mo found the largest communication business hall in the city and rushed there immediately.

When they arrived, they hadn't gone to work yet.

Xu Mo simply found a breakfast stall nearby to eat something.

To be honest, Xu Mo didn't know why he insisted on finding that Zheng Chao.

What if I found it?
The most is to chat, make friends, what else?
But Xu Mo just wanted to do this, or, after losing his life goal, he temporarily found the only goal that could cheer him up.

Of course, Xu Mo also thought about it, maybe he was too busy to find anything in the end.

Busy busy.

But even so, he was willing to give it a try.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
When the business hall opened at nine o'clock, Xu Mo walked in. Just as he sat down, the phone rang.

Take it out and take a look.

"lead?"

Xu Mo was puzzled and picked it up.

A reprimand came from inside: "Xu Mo, didn't you tell me to come to my office after work? What about you?"

Xu Mo's tone was calm: "I'm quitting. Go and stay where you are so cool. Don't hinder me from doing business."

After finishing speaking, he hung up directly.

I vaguely remember that this guy is not a good guy, he squeezed himself before, and arranged all the hard work and tiring work on himself, he really thinks he is some kind of person.

What's so great about being the vice president of a small company?

"I am the Yang God who swept across the shore..."

"Sir, what are you going to do... Hey, why are you?"

The receptionist in the opposite business hall saw Xu Mo and was stunned.

Xu Mo looked up.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.

This world is really small.

Sitting opposite was Liu Ling in professional clothes, that is, Xu Mo's blind date yesterday.

Liu Ling didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if the other party knew that she was working here and came to her specially.

"Perhaps, it's just a coincidence. After all, we met yesterday and made it very clear. Or, he regretted it, so he came to me again? Hehe, it's too late to look for me. I don't think much of you at all, please. Useless."

Obviously it's human nature to be cranky.

Everyone is the same.

"I didn't expect you to work here?" Xu Mo said subconsciously.

"Chunchun told you that you forget things too much." Liu Ling gritted her teeth.

"Oh, then I really forgot." Xu Mo really didn't remember it. To be honest, it was already a miracle that he could remember Liu Ling.

"busy?"

"Yes, I want to check a number."

"What number?"

Xu Mo reported the number.

Although Liu Ling looked down on Xu Mo, her professionalism was good. She reached out and typed numbers on the keyboard, and then checked on the dedicated system.

"This number is not activated, do you want to apply?"

"Uh, I actually want to see who the previous owner of this number was."

"I can't see this!" Liu Ling shook her head.

Seeing Xu Mo staring at her, Liu Ling thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. One is that according to the regulations, the privacy of other users cannot be disclosed. In addition, the information of the number that has been canceled has been deleted from the system. I can't find it at all."

This statement is the same as what the customer service said last night.

Xu Mo frowned.

"There is no other way? You are a professional after all."

The corner of Liu Ling's mouth raised.

The other party is praising her.

She was also soft-hearted, looked around at this time, and whispered: "Then what are you going to do to check this?"

There is a door?

Xu Mo saw it and was pleasantly surprised.

Sure enough, you have to count on the professionals.

"The owner of this machine is very important to me, it is of great importance, life and death are at stake...Liu Daneng, if you help me, you will not only prove your ability and gain my friendship, but I also owe you a big favor. San Diao, you won't suffer."

At this time, Xu Mo recovered a little of his normal communication skills.

Liu Ling smiled: "Your friendship is so rare, it's worthless."

"I can treat you to a big meal!"

"I'll think it over!"

Liu Ling is also warm-hearted.

"In this way, it doesn't matter whether this thing can be done or not, there are big meals, and Liu Daneng, if you have anything to do in the future, I will be there whenever you are called."

"Really?"

"A gentleman makes a quick move with a whip!"

"Okay, let me try!"

Liu Ling began to operate on the computer.

She told Xu Mo that under normal circumstances, the number that has been canceled cannot be found in the system.

"Unless it is an administrator. However, I think if there is no data, the administrator should not be able to see it. Fortunately, we have more than one system here."

"What do you mean?"

"You can understand that there is a system that stores basic user information, and there are other systems. For example, if you have had some inquiries, or reported some faults, or even complained, then in the corresponding system, the corresponding information will be recorded. The information. The operation of canceling the number will only be deleted in the basic information system, and the others will not."

With Liu Ling's explanation, Xu Mo suddenly became enlightened.

"I found it!"

Liu Ling looked around at this moment, and reached out for Xu Mo's phone.

Xu Mo hurriedly handed it over.

The other party picked it up, pulled out the camera, clicked on the screen, and took several consecutive shots.

"Okay, I've given you all the information related to the previous owner of this number. After you read it, delete it. This is a violation of the rules, and it will be miserable if it is discovered."

Xu Mo took it, and then said with a serious face: "What I said just now is true, Ling'er, if you need help with anything some other day, just ask me, I will definitely use both sides."

"Okay, just don't deny your account when the time comes."

"Don't worry, then I'll go first!"

Xu Mo got up, walked to the door, and couldn't wait to open the phone album to check the photos just taken. .

The first one, I saw the information in the above table.

"Fault report record, contact number: 13XXXXXXXXX, contact person, Mr. Zheng, address: XX Road XX..."

Xu Mo took a deep breath.

"Mr. Zheng, it's probably him, Zheng Chao!"

The above number is the one that was canceled before, and it must not be able to get through, but there is an extremely critical information here.

That is the home address.

This is so important.

It doesn't matter if you can't get through the phone, it would be better if I go directly to the door.

After all, the phone number is easy to change, and most people would not move around if they have nothing to do.

And looking at the date of the declaration record, it was three months ago.

Relatively close dates.

Xu Mo immediately took out his phone, opened the navigation app, and entered the address.

"It's not far away, 20 yuan by taxi is enough." Xu Mo wrote down the address and called a taxi there immediately.

He can't wait.

On the way, the 'Vice President' of the company called twice more, but Xu Mo hung up directly.

Where does he have the spare time to talk to each other now.

After finishing today's work, I will go to the company to officially resign tomorrow.

It's a bad job, don't do it.

After getting into the taxi, Xu Mo told the driver the address. Sure enough, it took only ten minutes to drive. When he got off the car, he happened to be at the west gate of the community where Zheng Chao lived.

This is an old community, and most of the buildings inside are four-story, at least 40 years old.

Those who live here are also old men and old ladies. Those who can move out have already moved away.

According to the taxi driver, there were also rumors that this community was going to be demolished, but it was not known why.

Walking in, every corner of the community reveals a kind of 'old'.

The dilapidated ground, the bricks in some places have been worn away long ago, uneven, the walls of the buildings have fallen off, and the red bricks are even exposed in some places.

Except for a few old men and old ladies enjoying the shade in the community, there are not many young people here.

Occasionally, some children ran over and yelled happily.

Xu Mo found the corresponding building, walked into the corridor, and went up to the third floor.

There are three households on each floor, Zheng Chao's is on the left.

As soon as he went up, Xu Mo noticed that the door was pasted with white paper.

And during the Chinese New Year, the red couplets on both sides have been ripped away.

This is particular, and it means that someone in the family has died.

Xu Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he went up to knock on the door.

After knocking for a long time, no one opened it.

It seemed that no one was in the house.

At this time, the next door opened the door and looked out. It was an old woman who asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Mo hurriedly said, "Ma'am, I'm looking for Zheng Chao, but he doesn't seem to be at home."

"Definitely not at home. No one has been back in this household for several months. It is estimated that after his parents died, they moved away."

"Zheng Chao's parents died? When did it happen?"

"Just a few months ago, you left quite suddenly, on the same day, you are..."

"Oh, I'm Zheng Chao's friend."

"Then you don't have his phone number?"

"Well, I have it, but his account has been sold out. If you have his phone number, ma'am, please let me know. I'll call him."

"Then wait a while, I'll look for it."

After a while, the aunt took out a mobile phone for the elderly, flipped through it for a long time, and said it was this one.

Xu Mo saw that it was useless.

It is the number that was canceled.

"Then I can't help it. I just left this mobile phone number."

"You don't know where he went?"

"I don't know. That young man doesn't like to talk. He usually doesn't say hello when he sees us. He's very lonely!"

"Thank you then, go back and rest."

Xu Mo was a little disappointed, finally found Zheng Chao's residence, but the other party was not at home, and the neighbor lady said she hadn't been back for several months.

This Xu Mo believed that, after all, he lived next door, and if someone came back, it was impossible not to hear him.

He had no choice but to go downstairs, but just as Xu Mo was about to leave, he subconsciously took a look at the third floor, which was where Zheng Chao's house was.

I was taken aback immediately.

He saw that there seemed to be a person in the window of the bedroom!
