SIATOWITF Chapter 72
by VolareChapter 72: Miracle Snake Snake. Director, there are two people outside…
“This one, try this one again.”
“Hmm… this tie doesn’t match well, change it.”
“Should we change the color? I think the cloud pattern looks better.”
“No, no…”
“Brother.” Ji Mo Xin sat on the white platform, drinking juice, a strange sense of relief appearing on her face.
“Speak.” Ji Mo An sat beside her, looking solemn.
“The sister-in-law is listening to Mom.” Ji Mo Xin smacked her lips, “Suddenly being freed is a little strange.”
“Mm.” Ji Mo An rested his chin on his stacked hands.
The siblings both stared straight ahead, watching the assistant busily running around, watching piece after piece of clothing being put on and taken off.
What kind of miracle snake is this… Ji Mo An silently adjusted his cuffs.
Today, Mom still dragged them to the dressing room early in the morning, but generously let them off after only changing three sets of clothes each.
But the number of times trying on clothes wouldn’t decrease; it would only transfer.
Obviously, the suddenly well-behaved snake took on all the clothing changes.
And Xuan Bai had excellent stamina. By the end, even Madam Mu was a little tired and sat in her chair, but the snake still changed clothes without batting an eye, adjusting various accessories according to instructions.
Compared to the siblings who wanted to run away at any moment, the snake maxed out Madam Mu’s goodwill in one morning.
“Not bad, not bad, wear this one.” Just before Ji Mo Xin was about to fall asleep, Madam Mu finally nodded in satisfaction, then shifted her target.
“Don’t sleep, you two. Are you standing there as mascots? Quickly get up and look at Mom’s masterpiece.”
Ji Mo An, who wasn’t sleeping at all: “…”
“Brother, it seems we’re losing favor.” Ji Mo Xin yawned and stood up unsteadily.
“An An, when we get home, have Old Xu make a few more custom suits for you, and… also casual wear. Such a good kid, wearing black shirts and black pants every day.” Madam Mu shook her head, still not satisfied.
“Got it.” Ji Mo An twitched his lips slightly. With Xuan Bai’s habit of turning into a snake and throwing clothes everywhere, he should wear disposable plastic bags.
“Brother, sister-in-law is even more handsome than before.” Ji Mo Xin blinked her eyes, “I agree with Mom.”
Another defector. Ji Mo An felt like rolling his eyes.
But to be fair, Mom’s taste was much better than his. After changing into a new outfit, the snake had an aura of nobility that hit you in the face. If you said he was a Western aristocrat, many people would probably believe it without a doubt.
“Alright, Xin Xin. Take your Brother Xuan Bai to the stylist to get his hair done.” Madam Mu took Ji Mo An’s arm and began to shoo people away with a smile.
“Baby.” She reached out and pinched Ji Mo An’s arm. “Don’t always stay in the office. Look at how loose your muscles have become.”
“That’s a racial advantage. His genes are just like that.” Ji Mo An pulled his arm away, refusing to compare.
That bad snake crawls around on the ground all day long; it’s hard for his muscles *not* to be firm.
“Don’t make excuses, Ji Mo An.” Madam Mu widened her eyes, “Mom knows you’re busy with work, but no matter how busy you are, you can’t lose your health. Besides, how can you support a big family without a good body? Baby, the family is everyone’s, but your body is your own.”
“Got it, I’ll change in the future.” Ji Mo An wanted to run away a little.
“Evasive.”
“I’m not.”
“You are.”
“…Mom, I’ll go check the venue.” Ji Mo An fled in panic.
—
As time approached 8:20, the anxious Mu Nanyuan couldn’t sit still and started pacing around the table.
“Xuan Xuan, did you pick them up?” He couldn’t help but call Mu Xuan.
“Not yet, Grandpa. The plane just landed. It’ll take some time to get out of the station.” Mu Xuan’s helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Heh…” Ji Mo Lin, who was sitting to the side, let out a cold laugh without any politeness.
“You used to say I was impatient; I see you’re not any better.”
“Can that be the same?” Mu Nanyuan glared at him, “An An has always been under our noses, but Chen Chen disappears as soon as he leaves. Can that be the same? Besides, how dare you talk about me? Put down your teacup first.”
Jing Junze, who was sitting to the side, looked back and glanced at the water all over the table and the old man’s cup, which was shaking so much that only a few tea leaves were left.
“…” Jing Junze silently turned back again and pressed Tang Lin, who was also looking at the spectacle, back into his seat.
“Make another call.” After a few minutes of stalemate between the two old men, Ji Mo Lin slammed the teacup heavily on the table and couldn’t help but call Mu Xuan himself.
“Grandpa Lin, it’s only been ten minutes. The flight hasn’t even unloaded passengers yet.” Mu Xuan’s voice on the other end was even more helpless.
“I know, I’m telling you to wear more clothes. It’s windy at the airport, don’t catch a cold.” Ji Mo Lin snorted.
Mu Xuan, who was in the VIP reception room at the height of summer and had been indoors the whole time: “…”
Really? He didn’t believe it.
“Old Lin, you know what I’m worried about.” Mu Nanyuan walked around two more times, you said Chen Chen… he came back alone, right.
“It’s doubtful.” Ji Mo Lin also frowned tightly, “That child he brought home last time, did you ever see him?”
“No.” Mu Nanyuan was filled with regret at the thought of this, “There was no sign of his return at all. I shouldn’t have gone to the South China Sea for a meeting. By the time I got back, they were already gone.”
“Moreover… Xuan Xuan told me in casual conversation before that the child Chen Chen brought gave off a strange feeling. He specifically ran to Germany to study because of this matter.”
“What’s strange?” A male voice suddenly rang out, scaring everyone in the room.
“My mouth…” Tang Lin was originally typing, but the computer screen suddenly switched to Xuan Bai’s face after a few seconds of black screen.
“Mr. Xuan, is there anything I can do for you?” Jing Junze pushed Tang Lin’s chair back, avoiding the tragedy of Tang Lin falling to the ground with the chair.
“Open the door, I don’t have permission.” The suddenly scary snake didn’t have any guilt, even self-satisfied.
The snake could have directly entered the Underground Seventh Bureau, but the snake still told him in advance.
The snake is super polite. He will go back and ask Ji Mo An for praises and kisses!
“I…I didn’t save…” Tang Lin looked at the blank document after the snake left, trembling as he pinched his philtrum.
He suddenly wanted to resign.
It took Xuan Bai less than a minute from being stuck at the door to appearing in the room. If it weren’t for the fact that the snake had a pair of twin pendants on it, everyone would have thought the snake had teleported directly over.
“Uhh uhh~” The twins hanging on Xuan Bai’s legs, one on the left and one on the right, stared with big eyes, curiously looking around.
Because of their sensitive identities and the Starry Sky traitors hiding in the dark, the test subjects had been hiding underground recently and hadn’t shown their faces.
Everyone was still wary of Su Nai and Green Vine, but when they saw the ignorant little seventeen and eighteen, they began to unconsciously spoil the children.
Especially Old Master Lin, who couldn’t bear to see children suffer. In just a few days, the two little ones had thrown away their black robes and put on all kinds of new clothes, and were even supervised to apply lipstick every day in videos.
But now was an extraordinary time, and everyone was immersed in tension.
“Du Xiao, Du Shuang, come here.” Ji Mo Lin beckoned to the twins with a straight face.
The two little ones immediately let go of the snake’s legs and ran to Ji Mo Lin.
The old man bent down and pulled out two lollipops as if by magic.
“Grandpa has important things to do here. Why don’t Xiao Xiao and Shuang Shuang go find the other older brothers and sisters to play with first, okay?” He lovingly touched the heads of Seventeen and Eighteen.
The twins obediently nodded, then reached out their hands to make a pinky promise with Ji Mo Lin.
“Seventeen, Eighteen.”
Just as the pinky promise ceremony was about to be completed, Su Nai suddenly teleported in.
She grabbed one by the collar with one hand and dragged back the twins who didn’t have time to escape.
“Sorry for the intrusion.” Su Nai disappeared again with the twins.
“…” The pinky promise wasn’t completed, and Ji Mo Lin looked at his fingertips with some disappointment.
“Old…Grandpa, do you like children?” Xuan Bai watched the whole process from the side and clearly sensed the emotions in the air.
“Don’t call me Grandpa.” Ji Mo Lin changed his face in a second.
“Okay, Grandpa.” The snake was especially bad, and emphasized the pronunciation of the two words “Grandpa.”
“You…” Old Master Lin pounded his chest in anger, “Of course I like children. I used to wait to hold my great-grandson.”
“Like children…” The snake twirled his fingers, “Which one do you like? I’ll go steal them back.”
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but kidnapping children is illegal. Child trafficking and surrogacy are both illegal. You can adopt one through regular procedures.” Jing Junze interjected.
“Oh.” Xuan Bai nodded, “Then I’ll steal one from my hometown. They can’t beat me.”
“Wait, wait a minute.” Seeing the topic getting more and more off track, Mu Nanyuan had to stand up and interrupt.
“An An should go greet the guests in advance now. Xuan Bai, are you going to?”
“Almost forgot.” The snake blinked, and blue flames jumped out of his eyes.
“Go.” Following his command, the flames flew into Tang Lin’s computer.
Shua shua shua… the screen was instantly filled with blue squares, and strings of code-like numbers constantly shuttled through the squares.
Even the display screens in the room that hadn’t been turned on and the mobile phone screens of several people began to refresh with blue squares.
“Artificial intelligence Seven Seven.” Xuan Bai raised his eyebrows, “Now it’s called 001. Please allow the high-end technology of our Starry Sky to temporarily replace your little artificial idiot.”
“Guarantee to complete the mission! 001 is expected to take over 99% of the Underground Seventh Bureau’s system within ten seconds.” A lively voice with a slight electronic tone came from Tang Lin’s computer.
As the ten-second countdown ended, the blue squares and that voice disappeared at the same time, and all the screens returned to normal.
Except for the fact that the document under Tang Lin’s hand had once again turned blank, everything seemed as normal as if the artificial intelligence called 001 had never been there.
“…” I want to resign, I want to go crazy. Tang Lin, the only victim, now wanted to hold his computer and go insane.
‘Ding-a-ling…’
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Mu Nanyuan hurriedly picked up his phone.
“Xuan Xuan is calling!” After saying one sentence, everyone except the snake closed their mouths and nervously tilted their heads to listen to the voice coming from the speaker.
“Grandpa.” Mu Xuan’s voice was a little tired. “I didn’t pick up Chen Chen.”
“All the passengers on the flight have left, and I can’t contact him. I even asked the airport staff to check the passenger information for that flight… but they said they couldn’t find Chen Chen’s information at all.”
“…” Mu Nanyuan’s first reaction was to look at Xuan Bai, but the snake was still the same as usual.
“It’s okay, come back if you didn’t pick them up. Maybe they changed flights temporarily or something.” Mu Nanyuan said a few words to Mu Xuan in a low voice and hung up the phone.
“If I’m not mistaken, he should have told you not to pick him up.” Xuan Bai blinked.
“This…” He did say that… Mu Nanyuan couldn’t refute. “Then he… how come there’s no information…”
“He probably came over without an ID card by smuggling, it’s hard to add fictional identity information to Earth. So occasional round trips don’t require that kind of thing.” Xuan Bai seemed extremely experienced,
“But you can’t get out of the gate without an ID card, but since they said not to let you pick them up, there must be other ways to get here.”
“They…” Mu Nanyuan immediately grasped the key point, “So you came here to wait for them too?”
The snake raised his eyebrows again, but didn’t speak.
“Director!” This time it was Jing Junze’s communicator that rang.
“I’m here.” Jing Junze pressed the record button.
“Director, there are two people outside, saying they want to see Chief Mu! Right at the White Gate… hiss… Director, the door opened by itself! Even though they don’t have permission.”
“Director, Seven Seven’s voice seems to have changed…”
“It’s okay, let them in. Tang Lin upgraded Seven Seven, it may have some unusual behavior recently, don’t worry about it.”
“Received, Director.”
“Chief, I’ll go pick them up.” Jing Junze stood up and nodded to Mu Nanyuan.
“Go ahead.” Mu Nanyuan became restless again.
