Part 63

The feeling of powerlessness came again.Even though there is a huge amount of money in the account, even though he has obtained the freedom he dreamed of, he still remainsthis."Congressman Bai Yilong was investigated by prosecutors today on suspicion of accepting bribes and illegal campaign funds. superiorMonths ago, Professor Shim Kyu-jin of Korea University was charged with tax evasion of tens of billions——』Hee Joo looked at her in-laws who had become suspects expressionlessly. But there was no fluctuation in her heart.Xizhu lowered his head.Just before falling asleep——Ring ring ring, ring ring ring!The ringtone echoing in the silence suddenly made her nerves tense. Xizhu frowned slightly and picked upGot the phone.It should be my sister or the center director.She planned to pretend not to notice, refuse to answer the call, and then turn off the phone. Xizhu used her half-open eyes toHe casually glanced at the screen.675......?

It was an unregistered number and an area code she had never seen before.Xizhu wanted to press the end button, but the harsh ringtone made her feel uneasy.A premonition of a dull pain in the back of my head.Xizhu bit her lip and finally slid the answer button.This is an impulsive act."......Hello?"——...."Hello?"

——....There was silence on the other side of the receiver.--who......?——....--who......Suddenly, the phone beeped and hung up.Xizhu held the mobile phone and stood blankly for a while.Is the heating not on?She rubbed her arms for no reason and felt a chill.She didn't know why.My heart seemed to drop heavily.But from that day on, this ghostly phone call came every night.

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring!It's the same today, the call came again.One day, two days, three days, four days...Lu Qiwu calls the same number at the same time every day and then hangs up. This is weird.Weird behavior keeps repeating.Xizhu would be woken up by the ringtone every time, but she did not block the number."Hello?"——...."Ugh...I don't know who you are."

——...."It's early morning here."——...."Aren't you going to sleep over there?"She said these words while half asleep."You can't speak?"——...."Actually, I am mute."Hee Joo herself didn't know why she was talking nonsense like a drunken old man."Why don't you hang up the phone today?"——...."Are you human?"——...."It can't be AI, right? Am I talking to a machine?"

This ridiculous night keeps repeating itself.She held the unanswered phone tightly and muttered to herself like a drunkard at night.At that time, the TV suddenly played the last video of Bai Siyan before his accident."...!"Xizhu didn't even dare to blink her eyelids, and her whole body became cold instantly.The eyeballs sting as if cement dust has entered the eyes."Find me." 』The eyes on the other side of the screen met hers.Her heart seemed to drop heavily.

What does that mean?What exactly do I need to find and how do I find it?Xizhu looked at the face that was full of yearning and resentment, and her heart was filled with questions.Her breathing became erratic, and she made a heavy gasping sound in her throat.At the same time, there was a loud noise on the other end of the phone.Only then did Xizhu realize that she was still on the phone.―......orada ......yapıyorsun......The call that was originally as quiet as death suddenly seemed like a door being opened, and all kinds of noises poured in.There was the sound of a foreign language in the distance, a cacophony of noise, a harsh... sound of something.And the sound of someone breathing regularly.

"Hello......."Before he finished speaking, the call was disconnected.Xizhu stroked her fallen hair and rubbed her face vigorously."Am I just imagining things...?"She glanced restlessly at the urn."You weren't defrauded of your money, were you?""What?"Xizhu came to the base station and sat down to prepare for consultation. As soon as she explained the situation, the man kept staring at the computerThe staff started talking nonstop."675 is indeed an international call. But the call fee is 1,400 won per minute.
