Chapter 1156 Hello, can you hear me?
In Yu Zhengqing's eyes, the small, black block in Shen Zheng's hand was like a small prison that held evil souls. If he dared to touch it, he would be bitten to a bloody pulp by the evil spirits inside.
"Do you really have to go out?" Yu Zhengqing began to try to persuade Shen Zheng to stay, his voice containing a fear he rarely showed in public. "If you really have to go out... fine, let's go out together, okay?"
"Of course not." Shen Zheng shook her head and refused.
She was only showing the walkie-talkie to Yu Zhengqing. If he went out, who would she show it to?
Yu Zhengqing's expression became even more conflicted, and he readily offered an excuse: "My hands are a bit cold right now, and I can't hold things properly. How about you... put it on the table, and I'll stay right here and watch over it, okay?"
Shen Zheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing the genuine fear on Yu Zhengqing's face, she ultimately chose to back down.
"Okay." Shen Zheng gently placed the walkie-talkie on the table, repeatedly instructing, "No matter what happens later, you must not hit it, and you must not throw it on the ground or throw it away, can you do that?"
Yu Zhengqing wanted to say, "I can definitely do this little thing," but when his eyes fell on the strange design of the walkie-talkie, he hesitated: "How about... we tie ourselves to the chairs? That way we can make sure we don't move around."
Shen Zheng never imagined that she would have such a rebellious day.
She was still somewhat dazed even after Yu Zhengqing and Yu Shizhang were firmly tied to the chairs.
From her perspective, it was just a routine "walkie-talkie test".
But in the eyes of Yu Zhengqing and Yu Shizhang, they were truly entrusting their lives to her.
Shen Zheng was deeply moved and burst into tears: "Gentlemen, the moment to witness a miracle is about to begin!"
After saying that, she turned and left without any hesitation, leaving the father and son's reluctant gazes locked inside the door.
As Shen Zheng's footsteps faded into the distance, Yu Zhengqing turned around anxiously: "Father...why aren't you saying a word?"
Could it be that he was really scared out of his wits?
Yu Shizhang stared intently at the walkie-talkie, his voice coming through softly: "I actually didn't want to be tied up."
This feeling of being unable to move my hands or feet is truly awful.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier!" Yu Zhengqing also regretted being tied up. He scooted halfway around in his chair and faced Yu Shizhang, saying, "If you had refused earlier, Shen Zheng definitely wouldn't have forcibly tied us up..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shizhang slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief: "So... you can be unreasonable too?"
Yu Zhengqing was speechless for a moment. Just as he was about to retort, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the glass lamp on the walkie-talkie suddenly started to flash!
“Father…” Yu Zhengqing thought of Shen Zheng’s instructions and deliberately lowered his voice several decibels: “You…you saw it?”
Yu Shizhang's face stiffened, and just as he was about to speak, a series of "buzzing" sounds came from the walkie-talkie.
"Fuck-"
"Zizzi-"
“This sound…” Yu Zhengqing took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “Father, we just heard this sound. If I’m not mistaken, after the ‘buzzing’ sound, it will ‘beep’.”
Yu Shizhang remained staring at the walkie-talkie, neither commenting nor giving a response.
The father and son instinctively held their breath, quietly waiting for the "beep beep" sound to arrive.
Take a breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths...
The brief silence felt like three years had passed, but to their surprise, the expected beeping sound did not come.
Just as they sensed something was wrong, a strange voice... suddenly pierced the dust and crashed into their ears.
--"Hello?"
"?!"
Upon hearing the sound, the father and son's pupils contracted sharply, their gazes fixed on the source of the sound—the walkie-talkie.
"That...that's Shen Zheng's voice?" Yu Zhengqing dared not believe it.
How could a living person possibly get into something the size of a palm?
Yu Shizhang gritted his teeth, countless possibilities flashing through his mind, but he still echoed Shen Zheng's words before she left: "This matter has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, nor with human lives; this matter has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, nor with human lives; this matter has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, nor with..."
"Father! At a time like this, why are you still chanting incantations?!" Yu Zhengqing looked utterly devastated, and he actually kicked the chair over his shoulder and hopped towards the door. "I'm going to find Shen Zheng. I need to see her safe and sound with my own eyes!"
The situation was too bizarre. How could he believe that this matter was "unrelated to ghosts and gods" if he didn't see Shen Zheng with his own eyes?
Just as he struggled to hop over the table, the faint light came on again, and then Shen Zheng's voice came from the small black block once more: "Hello, Uncle, can you hear me?"
Yu Zhengqing's steps faltered, his upper body lost its balance, and his chin hit the corner of the table.
"Hiss—" He cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, but dared not answer.
The current situation is very similar to what the shaman described as "calling back the soul."
The next instant, the small black glass lamp lit up again, and Shen Zheng's voice seemed even clearer than before: "I almost forgot you don't know how to use the intercom. Lord, Uncle, listen to me, I'm currently near the stables in the backyard, only a hundred paces away from you..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengqing froze completely, lying motionless beside the table.
Yu Shizhang, who was standing to the side, fell into deep thought and frowned, saying, "Shen Zheng means... she's not on this intercom, but is speaking to us from about a hundred paces away by the stables in the backyard?"
After saying that, Shen Zheng's words came to mind—"This thing is called a walkie-talkie, which is a device that allows you to talk to someone."
So, when Shen Zheng said "we can talk to each other," she actually meant "we can talk to each other from a distance"?
This is appalling.
How could a human voice possibly travel regardless of distance?
If this isn't a magical technique, then what is it?
Yu Shizhang's mind was a mess, and he subconsciously tried to reassure himself: "This matter has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, nor with human lives; this matter has nothing to do with ghosts or gods, nor with human lives..."
As Yu Zhengqing listened to his rambling, he propped himself up on the table and stood up, mustering his courage to say to the little black block, "Shen Zheng, can you come back first? We can talk when we meet."
"I'm at the back gate now." Shen Zheng seemed to be answering him, yet also seemed not to: "Uncle, I understand your surprise, but I hope you can hear me out. The reason you can hear me is because the walkie-talkie can pick up sound and then convert it into a special signal, which can only be transmitted between walkie-talkies..."
