About thirty seconds of waiting later, Mao Mi had to reluctantly hang up, as Machining Core did not pick up.
"Does he just not want to answer?" Mao Mi muttered softly.
Given that he had made the same move as Wei Shengjin earlier, it's quite possible that he shares some personality traits with Wei Shengjin. Perhaps he could pick up but just chose not to.
Of course, she didn't know that it was not Machining Core's reluctance to pick up the phone but his loss of ability to do so.
He was already dead.
Faced with this situation, Mao Mi dialed Machining Core's number again. But before doing that, she jotted down all the remaining phone numbers. Unfortunately, the numbers of Turtle and A had already disappeared and she couldn't recall them from memory.
Each time she clicked on a phone number, the number of contacts in her phonebook diminished by one. She even had the illusion that she was playing a game of elimination.
Maybe something unexpected would happen?
