It seems that the villain is targeting me.

Xiao Si replied, saying that only the two white coats were present in the room.

They are already preparing for surgery.

"Can Xiao Si find a way to harass them?" Xiao Niao asked.

[No problem,] Tongzi answered immediately, [Wait for my signal.]

At this time, she was already standing next to the door of the operating room.

The door is not locked and can be opened with a slight turn.

It didn't seem to occur to these men that they might be attacked inside the code door.

Xiao Niao was holding a metal water pipe in her hand - she had picked it up from the corner of the wall as she passed by.

Although I have a stun gun in my pocket, I still feel that a stick is more appropriate in this situation.

[Get ready.] The system reminded her.

Xiao Niao clenched the water pipe in his hand.

Accompanied by a tragic cat cry, Xiao Niao kicked open the door of the operating room.

Chapter 52: Arjun: I was finally rescued

"Boom...boom...boom..."

An unknown medical device was placed very close by, humming along. Just by tilting your head slightly, you could see the red indicator light flashing.

"Boom... boom..."

Obviously that voice

It was right next to her ear, but Zheng Qiong could only hear the frantic beating of her heart.

She lay flat on a narrow metal table, the incandescent light above her head swaying constantly, illuminating the small, dirty operating room.

There was a strange, medicinal smell in the air.

Everything in sight, from the tiles to the bed boards, was a dirty gray-green.

The back of her head ached slightly, and she subconsciously tried to struggle, only to find that her hands and feet were tied up with belts.

Fear made her heartbeat even more uncontrollable. Zheng Qiong tried her best to raise her head, and while lying flat on her back, she struggled to look towards her feet.

This was a space as narrow and oppressive as a tomb. Even if she tried to look up, she could only see a plastic curtain - the operating room was separated only by this thin curtain.

There was a clear light source outside the house, the sound of flowing water, and a dark shadow wearing a surgical cap was projected on the translucent curtain.

The rustling sound of washing hands made Arjun extremely tormented.

She looked around tremblingly, and her tightly bound hands and feet began to struggle, desperately searching for something useful around her.

I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die…

Come on...anything is fine...please...

The small table with the scissors and knives was so far away that I couldn't reach it at all.

A piece of the wall on the left was broken, and she saw a half-full IV bag and a camera with a flashing red light.

Her sight slowly slid downwards, and Zheng Qiong's breathing unconsciously quickened. What was that - she saw a phonograph.

The corner of my eye lingered on it uncontrollably.

The brass phonograph with a wooden base was something this poor girl had only seen in movies.

They listen to music.

Zheng Qiong thought that they would listen to music while performing the operation.

Anyone who has experienced this will know this: when fear reaches a certain limit, people are simply unable to speak.

The fear of impending death enveloped her. Zheng Qiong breathed with difficulty, but all the organs in her body seemed to no longer obey her command.

She couldn't breathe, and her already immobile hands and feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The light source above her head was still shaking, and Arjun was so stimulated that she shed tears. She looked up at the ceiling with tearful eyes.

Warm tears slid down the corners of her eyes, sank into her temples, and wet a few strands of hair.

She thought, maybe this is the end.

This small piece of water-stained ceiling may be what countless missing people saw in the last moments of their lives.

What a despairing scene! Lying in bed like an animal waiting to be slaughtered, unable to move, I could only stare at the dull whitewash above me and the trembling cat ears on the vent railings...

Well, wait.

cat ear?

Arjun blinked hard, trying to restore her blurry vision to normal - she was not mistaken, there was indeed a cat ear peeking out from the railing of the vent.

Is there really a cat?

Did you accidentally crawl into the pipe?

Driven by some instinct, Arjun looked over there and met the pair of animal eyes shining in the darkness.

The screws on the vent had somehow loosened, and half of the fence, which had been tightly fitted, collapsed.

Under Arjun's shocked gaze, the cat in the pipe stepped on the fence and climbed out little by little... uh, squeezed out, and climbed to the top of a row of cabinets against the corner of the wall with a grunt.

What a fat cat...

As if noticing Arjun's gaze, the cat suddenly turned its head and looked at Arjun.

Then it raised its right paw in front of its mouth and made a shushing gesture in a very humane way.

It's so strange, how could a cat do this?

Is this an illusion, Arjun thought blankly, am I dead?

The dark shadow on the curtain suddenly stopped washing his hands, and turned around abruptly as if he had noticed something.

Arjun clearly saw that the black shadow was raising its head.

Then, a round, unidentified object suddenly fell on the face of the black shadow like a missile.

The man exclaimed in surprise, and immediately there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground - the other person was knocked to the ground by that thing.

The first thought that popped into Arjun's terrified mind was that he felt as if he had been hit by a stone.

The sudden change made the girl even more nervous. She kept moving her wrists and struggled more violently.

"Who are you? You, what are you going to do——"

A man's frightened shout came from outside the plastic sheet - Arjun didn't hear clearly what he said - followed by the sound of hurried running.

The heart-wrenching howl came to an abrupt end.

Arjun, lying on the bed, shuddered unconsciously.

Before she could stop being scared, there was another muffled sound.

That should be the sound of a blunt object hitting flesh, and in between... there seemed to be one or two cat meows?

Who is…?

"Hey, this guy is still awake. He's pretending to be unconscious to trick you."

Chirping sound.

Then the man screamed in fear: "Ah! Cats, cats can say - ah -"

In a group of teeth-grinding electricity bills

After the sound of the 94936135 sound, the outside world fell completely silent.

Zheng Qiong's heart began to tremble. Because of the plastic sheet covering her, she had no idea what was happening outside.

Just when she was at a loss, the curtain at the door was suddenly lifted open by a water pipe.

A young woman's face appeared before her.

Parentheses, there is a strange red color on the right cheek and collar, and he is holding a slightly deformed metal water pipe in his hand. End of parentheses.

The situation was really like Saw. Arjun didn't even dare to breathe. He lay stiffly on the operating table, feeling like the heroine of The Shining leaning against the door.

But fortunately, the young woman who suddenly arrived did not raise the water pipe with a sneer - she lowered the weapon in her hand and walked towards him.

The straps on his wrists were undone.

Then the other hand, and the two feet.

Zheng Qiong regained her freedom and climbed up from the operating table somewhat weakly.

"you……"

"We are here to save people."

Xiaoniao made a shushing gesture to her (Aqiong thought the gesture was familiar).

"Be quiet, I need your help," Xiao Niao said, "Do you remember where you were imprisoned before?"

These words made Arjun's tears flow uncontrollably.

She wiped her tears with her sleeves, trying to calm herself down, and answered intermittently:

"I, I don't know. I was kept in solitary confinement..."

After a brief exchange of words, Xiao Niao basically understood the situation here.

According to Arjun, a large number of trafficked people were locked up in a place similar to an abandoned workshop and locked in iron cages.

There are also some "piglets" who have been bought or assigned additional purposes, and they will be kept alone in a small compartment like her.

"Piglet" is a new word Zheng Qiong learned from those people. Human traffickers use it to refer to abducted children.

Xiao Niao asked, "Besides you, has anyone else been shipped out today?"

Zheng Qiong shook her head: "I should be the first..."

At this point, she couldn't help but shed tears again. "When I was in jail before, I wanted to escape... Then they caught me and said they would sell me off immediately."

This may be the tactic that human traffickers often use to threaten them: if they don’t obey, they will be shipped out immediately.

If you are obedient, you can get extra food.

The traffickers claimed that only obedient people would have the chance to be sold as a whole. If they were disobedient, all their organs would be removed and then burned.

But this is undoubtedly a complete lie - the decision of whether to ship the product lies with the customer. If someone buys it, even an "obedient child" who has never resisted from beginning to end will be ruthlessly pushed onto the operating table.

Xiao Niao's eyebrows trembled unconsciously. She turned her head to look at the door behind her and asked casually, "What's your name? Where were you kidnapped from?"

Because of the photos found by the system and Chen Xiaoya's description, Xiao Niao had actually recognized her at this time.

But Zheng Qiong herself had never seen the bird.

"My name is Zheng Qiong," she said, her voice choking. "I'm from He County. I was kidnapped on my way home..."

Zheng Qiong originally wanted to say that it was her third cousin who sold her here, but then she thought that the situation was urgent and maybe now was not the time to say such words.

"Thank you for saving me," Aqiong pinched his palm and held back the urge to cry, "I, what should we do now..."

She seemed to have mistaken the bird for a policeman and subconsciously wanted to seek help.

Xiao Niao thought about it and didn't tell Aqiong that he actually broke in alone.

The situation was urgent before, so she could only rush in to rescue people in a hurry. As for how to take people away after rescuing them, Xiao Niao had no idea yet.

Zheng Qiong's stature was obviously shorter than that of an adult male, so there was no way he could get away by disguising himself.

Besides, there are many other abducted children here...

Xiao Niao glanced downward.

The plastic curtain seemed to move, and a round object was tickling the hem of the curtain.

"Wait for me here." Xiao Niao whispered to Zheng Qiong, then lifted the plastic sheet and walked out.

Cat number four came to her feet, and Birdie bent down and scooped it up from the ground.

"Hey," Number Four said excitedly, "Look at that. We can use it to get Zheng Qiong out."

Xiao Niao looked in the direction that Cat No. 4 pointed—there was a small cart loaded with medical supplies parked there.

She walked forward to check. The surface of the cart was filled with various bottles and jars of potions, as well as surgical instruments reflecting silver light.
