Abyss Express

Chapter 841 Ms. Latia’s Doctor Bag·Living Doll

[Part①·Best-selling or not-selling]

Editor Green interrupted my story——

——I was not angry, but stared into his guilty eyes.

"Sorry, Mr. Victor, I'm afraid this story won't make it into the newspapers either."

What Green said made sense, and he almost convinced me.

"Especially the second short story, which pretty much abandons all the underground inhabitants of North American origin."

I shrugged it off and said, "I thought people would just take it as a joke."

"You are an Austrian, Mr. Victor, you don't understand." Old Green wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and seemed very nervous: "You can make fun of the President of the United States, but you can't say there is something wrong with their ideology - you can drive anything. joke, but race”

"I see." I then asked, "This story must be a hard sell?"

Editor Green breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes"

I continued: "So is it necessary to talk about the ending of Ben Richter?"

Editor Green thought for a moment and then looked at Kotana——

——Kotana also nodded.

"Mr. Ben will be sent to the Secret Library for rest around December this year. The human world cannot tolerate him. But the underground world may be able to do it. He is not too late in his thirties - he is a good policeman and may be Be proud, ruthless, wise and gentle.”

Old Green breathed a sigh of relief.

"Any more? Mr. Victor?"

I asked, "What is there? What else is there?"

"Like stories that more people like? What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly pick up these old stories from the doctor's bag?" Editor Green complained: "It's not good for my heart."

"I'm very sorry." I organized the second diary neatly and put all the records into the doctor's bag. This was my last bit of dignity as Latia Morian. Maybe this pen name can no longer be used in the future - —

——I am very pessimistic and think that people have lost the courage to face strong emotional and spiritual shocks. It is like a test and an insurmountable gap.

It seems that in this era, our patience is worn out by various entertainment products.

The future shown in Shinto City is lifting up its skirts little by little, revealing its rotten and ugly genitals. A brand-new terrifying beast gradually rolls out of the nursery of life and the crib, and it begins to scream. And the roar of greed.

People have standard production processes, including how to make standard humans. There are standard entertainment and standard literature and art. As long as you transcend this standard, everything will become strange and terrifying.

"Okay!" I decided to make up a story now, a story I just secretly saw from the secret library.

In order to explain its historical background, I spent a lot of effort. It was a bit difficult to explain its ins and outs to Editor Green.

"Specifically."

I rummaged through the doctor's bag and finally found a box of tapes.

That was a gift sent back by FE204863 from far away in time and space. There are many such gifts - this tape is just one of them.

"As a king explorer, I have α-level authority and can call this tape in the secret library. It comes from the future, perhaps from another time and space."

"It just tells some interesting anecdotes in life and has little relevance to any major events closely related to human destiny. It is very ordinary."

"It's also a collection of short stories that I, or [she], Latia Morian, got in another time and space."

"Kotana! We have a front-page headline!" Mr. Green quickly started working, asking the assistant to devote herself to it.

I took out the lecture notes I had taken while studying the contents of the tape in the secret library, and then arranged the paper and pen. I wanted to talk about this matter in Mr. Green's office, and I reluctantly gave an outline first.

"It's actually very simple. In 2050, Latia Morian went to Australia to collect materials, and accidentally found a familiar yet strange child in the hotel."

"The identity of this child cannot be revealed yet. He is just a footnote, a bystander in the story."

"You may have heard about the work of FE204863. The Tindalos hounds are hunting down time and space criminals. Any inducement that causes time disorder and space-time expansion will be arrested by this time and space administration."

"The story begins in Australia's wild bird watching area in Sydney."

"The time is September 9, 2050."

"The location was Hertz Car Rental, and something happened."

"But he didn't realize that this young man, only 27 years old, came here with his newly pregnant fiancée."

"They started their journey in a sudden tropical storm."

"The name of the story is called "Living Doll" - it is an urban legend about the appearance of dolls, nothing more."

He looked at the sky. The low pressure and dusty weather that lasted for twenty-six hours had fried the entire Australia into crispy pancakes.

Everything seems to melt on this cookie, including the car he checked in, an old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz G——

——The fiancée has never understood why this Oriental man has an inexplicable admiration and dependence on old cars. It seems that these things with complex mechanical structures and primitive transmission methods are particularly reliable tools.

He just smiled and replied that he was nostalgic. Just like his job, he was always drilling in caves, knocking off some stones with a rock pick and a geological hammer, and then looking at the growth rings of these years, guessing Stories that happened tens of millions of years ago.

He once told his wife that all kinds of rare treasures can be found underground, including love and courage.

My wife just thinks this guy is crazy. He is always crazy, but full of enthusiasm. He seems like a child who often hides in the closet, and then suddenly appears and scares people.

Until this time, their second wedding anniversary.

Chen Pingping can finally follow her husband and say goodbye to her old classmate Li who often came to her home as a guest!

There is no need to listen to Lao Li singing or clean the shoe prints on the coffee table. This guy is a Cantonese and always likes to put his legs on the table without changing his shoes! It's really rude!

bring it on! Come embrace the passionate Australia! Then go live near a national reserve for a few days!

Take a good vacation, leave all your worries behind, and have a baby in your belly that has just evolved from a fertilized egg into a new life!

Pingping! Think of something good!

"Fuck the three-way catalytic converter." The man squatted next to the car, looking at the melted rubber parts and the scarred chassis. He said to his wife, "Shall I rent a car?"

Chen Pingping asked: "Do you want my help?"

He didn't respond, but talked about another topic——

"——Why don't I call dad to help?"

"No, no, no!" Chen Pingping really didn't want her husband's father to show up.

Every time his old father came to the house, especially in their wedding room, the temperature in the whole room would drop several degrees.

Pingping didn't know what was going on. It seemed that this old man with cold eyes and a stubborn expression was surrounded by ghost soldiers, and he looked very evil.

He then asked: "Then shall I call my uncle?"

"No?" Chen Pingping still refused——

——That was a weirdo who looked younger than him.

He's over 190 centimeters tall and as strong as a bull. It's better to say you should have seen this guy on the set of "Fast and Furious 18".

Every time he came home, this uncle's voice was as loud as thunder. The German-made floor-to-ceiling windows that had just been installed in the new home last time were divided into three small windows, and his voice was shattered.

Pingping was afraid that this pregnancy trip would become a farce. After all, this was the most memorable quiet time after they got married.

He also has two brothers and a little sister. There are too many family members. Just visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of energy.

Returning to the world of two, and having another baby in the future, do you want to travel to Australia again? I'm afraid I have to wait until the child reaches thirteen or fourteen years old to have this opportunity.

[Part②・Coupon]

He walked to the rental car and greeted the boss in unfamiliar English.

The boss started to smile sinisterly when he saw this stranger from a foreign land. It seemed that Chinese people were not very welcome in Australia.

The price has already been negotiated before the distant waterfowl has even flown over twice—

——He was a little confused at first because the price of renting a car was really cheap.

By Australian standards, he only had US dollars in his pocket. If he wanted to drive a round trip in the wilderness of the hinterland of Australia, he would have to fill up with gas at least twice. A sturdy all-terrain off-road vehicle would cost about $800.

"There are coupons."

He asked: "How to get this coupon?"

The boss posted it next to him: "You can find it in the mobile app."

He looked at the complex UI window, found the coupon from the too advanced column, and clicked on it.

The quote of eight hundred dollars immediately turned into thirty dollars.

"Wow! What a waste!" He jumped for joy, not feeling anything wrong at all.

The boss stretched out his thick arm, shook hands with him, and handed the key to him——

"——Young man! Be safe!"

"Sure!" He took the keys and soon put his wife in the new car.

The vehicle then drove into the wilderness of the forest reserve and into the wilderness suburbs.

Chen Pingping sank into the rickety seat and almost fell asleep.

He was extremely excited. After touching the steering wheel, he seemed to be a different person, from the role of a husband to a child again.

"Hey! This thing is so fun to drive! It's my first time to drive an electric pickup truck!"

Chen Pingping: "Yes"

He then asked: "Aren't you happy?"

Chen Pingping: "You don't even want to go to the Flower and Bird Lake, so you just want to go cross-country."

He scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a little guilty——

"——I forgot hahahaha, you have to find a place to stay first!"

This was indeed the plan. He wanted to find a hotel and discuss detailed travel plans after getting the room card.

My wife chatted wordlessly.

"What do you think the baby in your belly should be named?"

He immediately said: "Let dad decide? Or mom? They are both educated!"

"What kind of culture is there?" Pingping retorted: "In your family, you have the highest academic qualifications, a double-major doctorate in archeology and geology."

He said excitedly: "Then wait until the child comes and let him/her decide for himself/herself!"

"Where is such a father?" Pingping muttered: "Hey! Why do I feel that this car is so cold?"

He also felt a bit chilly, as if the car's air conditioning was too effective.

"Is there any?"

"No?" Chen Pingping looked around and fiddled with the passenger air-conditioning vent, constantly changing the direction of the air grille.

Finally she found the source of the coldness and dampness. She saw a doll in the back seat of the pickup truck.

The doll was wearing a dress and had champagne-blonde hair. She was a very beautiful girl, about thirty-five centimeters tall, with a very well-proportioned body and a small head—not like an evil spirit like Annabelle.

It just sat quietly in the back seat, without any strange things happening, without any sudden jumps in the face, without shaking its head, without opening or closing its eyes, without any unnecessary movements.

Chen Pingping was convinced that the cold chill came from the doll!

"Husband! Hello!"

He quickly responded: "What's wrong, dear?"

"There's a hitchhiker in the back seat!" Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Call the car rental boss? Is this thing so sophisticated?"

The pickup truck was lying in the middle of the road, and he immediately turned around and drove back——

——The moment he saw the doll's appearance clearly, he felt his scalp numb.

What is the reason?

The reason is that he thinks this thing is very expensive, and the owner must be very anxious!

An ordinary BJD body doll sells for more than 2,000 to 3,000 yuan each. With the wig, eyes, nose and makeup, the doll in the back seat must cost more than 10,000 yuan, which is a lot for an ordinary family. huge sum of money.

Leaving it in this car will only attract crime, and any discerning guy will steal property and sell it for money.

Without hesitation, he drove the pickup truck back to the rental company, went to the back seat and took out the doll. Then he gave it to the boss who was smoking and watching short videos.

"Hey! Boss! The guy who rented the car last time left this thing in the back seat."

The owner of the car rental shop looked at him curiously as if he were looking at a monster——

——It seems that he is not a normal person, or rather

None of the story developments went as expected. It seemed that there was a strong force in the dark that pushed this damn doll back to the Hertz Car Rental Company.

"Oh," the boss said quickly, "It's okay, I think it's more suitable for you."

"No!" He said a little impatiently: "Do you know how much labor is required to sew leather? Every stitch and thread! It is the hard work of workers! There are not many such handicrafts nowadays! The owner must be very worried. You're in a hurry! Open the order record, call me back, and take the things away!"

The boss's eyes were dull, and finally...

A cloud of sparks exploded from the chassis of the pickup truck, and Chen Pingping was so frightened that she immediately ran out.

She screamed: "What's going on!"

As a husband, he immediately stooped to check, and then spoke immediately.

"The battery in the pickup truck exploded."

"Hey! Did I eat too much shoulder? Its chassis is quite high!"

With that said, he took money out of his pocket and immediately got a fire extinguisher to stop the fire in the vehicle.

"Hey! Boss! How much does it cost to replace the battery pack? You should still be able to run, right?"

The boss's heart almost collapsed. He didn't understand——

——If according to the plan, the young couple should have broken down halfway, and then walked to the sanctuary and to the hotel, everything should be... this development

"oh"

The middle-aged Australian man was stunned and finally came to his senses.

Fortunately! There is another car! Another car that leads to the sacred road!

"Let me change your car! I'm so sorry!"

"Hey! If I had known, I would have called my dad to come with me." He was filled with disappointment, looking at the getting darker and darker sky, as if he was going to drive at night. His driving skills have always been poor, and can only be described as a little understanding. "He can fix cars!"

"Can the battery pack be repaired even if it explodes?" Chen Pingping rolled her eyes: "Please! Please wake up! My husband! Who is pregnant?"
