1363 Its Difficult to Find People Who Think Alike (1/2)
Old Time Tea pulled back its front paws and watched Famous softly fall to the ground. He said apologetically, ”Famous, we are in a hurry. Please forgive me.”
Unfortunately, Famous had been sleeping and could not hear what he said. In addition, it was poor sleep that he was getting.
Old Time Tea looked at the sky and said to the other elfins, ”It's already quite late, and I'm afraid Zhang Zian won't wake up for a while. Although the customers may not come into the store due to the impact of the insect disaster, the staff will come to work later. Boss Li from the snack store will also be sending some food... How do we explain the situation to them? We will have to make proper arrangements and perhaps a long-term plan moving forward.”
The other elfins also agreed because they had a dilemma in front of them—should they inform everyone else that Zhang Zian was in deep sleep?
If the staff found out, their first reaction would be to call an ambulance and send Zhang Zian to the hospital.
But could this solve the problem?
Zhang Zian was not naturally in a deep sleep. His dream state had been induced by an unknown elfin. In addition, he'd chosen to stay in the dream. This situation... Could modern medicine cure it?
It probably...wouldn't work.
Therefore, the staff should not be allowed to know the situation that Zhang Zian was in right now. They must cover up this issue and let them think that Zhang Zian was all right.
Richard jumped a few times on the windowsill, looked into the distance, and said, ”I seem to spot two of the staff coming over and heading in our direction. We will have to come to a decision as soon as possible.”
The staff walked up to the door of the store. If they found that the shutter door was not up, they would be somewhat confused. Then they would likely give Zhang Zian a call to ask about the situation.
Old Time Tea said, ”Richard, you shall fake Zhang Zian's voice. Just make up some reason. Tell the staff that you have something to go out and settle today and let them tend the store.”
However, what method should they use to inform the clerk? It must not be done in person.
”Hey.”
Pi hurriedly ran to the bedside, pulled Zhang Zian's mobile phone out from under his pillow, gave a thumbs-up to everyone, and then picked up Zhang Zian's hand. Pi used his finger to unlock the mobile phone via fingerprint identification.
The phone was unlocked and could now be used normally.
The screen still showed the ”Pet Hunter” interface, but there was no light on the electronic map that represented the elfin to be captured.
The elfins knew that Zhang Zian used WeChat to contact the staff, but they didn't know how to use WeChat, except for Sihwa.
Pi, holding the phone, staggered into the bathroom. The other elfins followed.
Sihwa was angry and felt wronged. It was obvious that she had not been informed of the situation at hand, but she had nevertheless been shouted at by Fina.
”Hey.”
Pi handed Zhang Zian's mobile phone to her.
”What?”
Her face had an extremely p*ssed-off look to it. She glanced at the phone but didn't pick it up. She crossed her arms over her chest. ”This is that stingy guy's phone. Where is he?”
Although she tried to pretend she was calm, all the elfins had poured into the bathroom together. She had never had so many elfins in the bathroom with her, and thus, she was somewhat flustered.
Her ears were, in fact, very sharp. She could hear the elfins talking outside. She knew that Zhang Zian had had an accident, but she didn't understand how. He'd merely slept through the night, so what could have possibly happened?
Old Time Tea coughed and stood up. ”There will time to panic in the future,” it said. ”I will also explain things in detail to you then. It's just that too many things are happening at once, and we have to deliberately conceal what is happening... Nevertheless, because of an unknown elfin, Zhang Zian is temporarily unable to wake up. In order to conceal this matter, please help us send a voice WeChat to the staff. As for what to say and how to say it, Richard will do the talking.”
