Chapter 158 After the old house caught fire (8)
Chu Xiang has never been one to sit back and wait for death. When she found that her companions were unreliable, she had no choice but to rely on herself.
Eugene sprained his ankle after running in three steps and was out of breath after running in ten steps. He was completely unreliable. To put it more harshly, he was just dragging his feet.
Chu Xiang made a decision after thinking calmly, "You just hide here and don't wander around. I'll go outside and find a way to call the police."
Eugene reminded with a smile, "It's dangerous outside."
"I know, but we have to fight. If we keep hiding here, he might come after us."
Eugene could finally see that Chu Xiang was a very capable person. Of course, he had seen many courageous and reckless people over the years, but Chu Xiang was a little different from these people.
She didn't have too much courage, nor was she too reckless. Everything was in just the right place, so when she found that there was no other way, she had to force herself to take action.
The thick black mist will gradually swallow the lives of all living creatures.
Chu Xiang put his hand on the door of the phone booth, and Eugene suddenly said: "I am alone here, what should I do if I encounter danger?"
Chu Xiang looked back at him.
He said matter-of-factly: "You are right, I am very weak. If there is danger, I will not be able to run away."
Eugene's expression is sincere, and his serious eyes don't seem to be fake. Although he is tall, what does not match his height is that his body is exaggeratedly fragile, and he can fall to the ground at any time due to shortness of breath caused by running. .
A tangled expression appeared on Chu Xiang's face. She tightened and loosened her hand on the door handle. After sighing angrily, she stretched out her hand to grab his arm, "Forget it, you come with me. .”
Eugene hesitated again, "How about forget it, I don't want to hold you back."
"You are not in good health and I don't know the way. Maybe the two of us together can have the effect of minus one plus minus one!"
Eugene questioned what she said about his poor health, but still gently reminded him, "Minus one plus minus one, that's minus two."
Chu Xiang had a slight lump in his throat and glanced at him, "We can't destroy our prestige at this time!"
Eugene suddenly realized, "You are right, what we need now is blind confidence."
Chu Xiang always felt that the words he sometimes said sounded very yin and yang, but his attitude and tone were very good. When he made eye contact with her, he would smile. He looked like an old gentleman from the last century. Pai really doesn't seem like a person who is that sarcastic.
Eugene suddenly took a breath of cold air and looked at Chu Xiang's hand that was digging at his arm. He wanted to remind her that she shouldn't use all the strength of her nails when helping someone, but the eldest lady did not give him any advice. A chance for him to speak.
"Let's leave quickly before that dangerous guy finds us."
Eugene was pulled unceremoniously by her, and his head hit the door frame. The crisp sound suddenly echoed in the air, and he could tell by hearing that he must have been hit hard.
He covered his forehead and said, "Wait."
Chu Xiang: “I can’t wait any longer!”
Eugene grabbed the door frame with one hand to prevent her from being dragged out by her strong strength, "Maybe we should try calling the police again."
Chu Xiang leaned back and grabbed his arm with both hands, "You can't get through!"
"Maybe we can get through now."
Chu Xiang looked at him suspiciously. Eugene smiled, "Really, you should try to believe me."
Chu Xiang let go of his hand doubtfully.
Eugene covered his arm that was pulled, and the smile on his face was a little forced. After the slight sound of bones resetting, his dislocated arm finally recovered.
Under Chu Xiang's gaze, Eugene turned around slowly and dialed the alarm number. After several beeps, there was still no unnecessary movement.
Chu Xiang's eyes gradually changed. In her eyes, Eugene, who swore he could get through on the phone, was just a big talker and someone who wanted to save face.
There was a hint of gritted teeth in Eugene's smile. He pretended to be fine and casually said to Chu Xiang: "As you said, the police here are indeed too lax. I wonder if we can punish them if we complain." Punishment.”
The next moment, the phone call came through.
"Dear sir, hello, may I help you!"
Chu Xiang was shocked. She had never experienced the feeling of being warmly and actively responded to by an operator after calling the police.
Eugene has a good temper and speaks politely, "Hello, we are being chased by a terrible murderer. He looks very dangerous, and my companions and I are trapped in fear, in the black fog. In the thick of night, it’s really scary to be unable to see your fingers. To be honest, we were all quite frightened..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the phone. She said crisply: "We are being chased by a murderer and need help. Please come and save us!"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't answer.
Chu Xiang looked at Eugene.
Eugene lowered his head gracefully, Chu Xiang put the phone on his left ear, and he said unhurriedly: "Yes, we need help."
"Okay sir, we'll be here to help you soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Eugene lowered his eyes with a smile and looked at the short girl. He looked like a childish child showing off his abilities.
There is a sense of "Look, I can do what you can't do."
Chu Xiang couldn't understand, "Is it because I speak with an accent that he doesn't want to talk to me?"
"Of course not. Your pronunciation is very standard. How lucky are you to be able to talk to a beautiful lady? I think only ignorant people will regard your natural voice as noise that needs no attention."
< br>
Chu Xiang felt like he was blaming himself, but he couldn't provide any evidence.
Since the operator said the police would be here soon, it would be unwise for the two of them to run around now. Chu Xiang had been running nervously for a long time and was tired. She squatted in the corner, holding her knees with both hands, and suddenly My nose itched and I covered my mouth and sneezed.
Eugene asked with concern: "Are you cold?"
Chu Xiang glanced at his coat, cleared her throat, and said reservedly: "A little bit."
Eugene wrapped his coat tighter and said happily: "I'm wearing a coat, so I don't feel cold."
Chu Xiang: "..."
She allowed herself to abandon her beautiful illusions about this man's existence, and suddenly remembered a very important question, "The operator didn't even ask for our address, how do they know where we are?"
