Chapter 121: Deceased Wife (9)
Chapter 121: Deceased Wife (9)
After the black shadow disappeared, Cheng Youan took two deep breaths to relieve the tension.
He closed his eyes tightly and listened to the sound of the high heels getting farther and farther away. He did not dare to open his eyes again until dawn.
He was not the only one who heard the sound of high heels. Early the next morning, the bedside phone in room 403 started ringing.
When the time was up, I looked up at the wall in a daze. It was seven in the morning.
He picked up the receiver and said, "Hello."
Meng Chengxi: "Did you hear the sound of high heels last night? They came over and then went back. It was past two in the morning. It was very strange."
“The sound of high heels at around 2 o’clock?” Shi Jinzhe perked up a little, “No, I had just fallen asleep at that time.”
Meng Chengxi: "...Okay, then you didn't hear me telling you now, when are you going to get up? If you don't get up, I'll go downstairs to eat first."
"You guys go first, I'll be here for a while." Shi Jinzhe said and hung up the phone, but then he heard Meng Chengxi's voice "wait".
"Any thing else?"
"No, listen carefully."
Shi Jinzhe closed his eyes and heard two other unfamiliar female voices in a low volume from the receiver.
[503Did they have a fight yesterday? I heard a loud door slam.]
[It should be. It’s probably because of the cat. I slept late last night and didn’t hear anyone coming back from next door.]
[Maybe she reopened the room herself, but I'm telling you, I heard the sound of high heels again on the sixth floor yesterday, it scared me to death! I really think we might have provoked something unclean.]
[Don’t even mention the sixth floor, there are also some on the fifth floor. I didn’t even dare to stretch my legs out when I slept. It’s all my fault that the boss booked this hotel to save money…]
Sizzle...sizzle...sizzle
The threaded conversation disappeared, and Shi Jinzhe got some new information.
This pair of high heels was worn on all four, five, and six floors.
Meng Chengxi: "The phone was crossed. Fortunately, the two sisters were just gossiping and chatting, and didn't talk about anything private."
"During this special period, when they can't contact the outside world, these indigenous people have to find something to do."
"Yeah. I'll hang up first." Meng Chengxi put down the phone and met Xiao Fang's puzzled eyes.
Xiao Fang: "Brother Meng, we live across the street, why don't we just go over there."
"You've never been in a relationship before, have you?" Meng Chengxi said with a look of ignorance on his face, "That couple across the street, knocking on the door at seven in the morning, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"
Xiao Fang, who was attacked personally, said: "Well... I really haven't talked about it, so I don't understand."
...
Shi Jinzhe hung up the phone and went to see Sheher who was sleeping soundly.
His complexion was normal, his breathing was steady, his heartbeat was normal, everything was the same as usual, except that he slept a little soundly.
When Shekh didn't wake up, he continued to lie in bed.
Danger always comes unexpectedly, so Sheh should pay more attention to rest.
I still have a lot of points. I can survive even if I leave this game late or fail. I can consider other things after she finds the cause of her physical abnormality.
Shi Jinzhe tucked the quilt into her. Haunted houses are always cold. Even if it is summer in the copy, it won't be hot.
In his sleep, Shekh sought the source of heat, his hands and feet pressed against it and folded it.
The dream was very warm. She saw herself standing in the sun holding a green willow branch in her hand.
The snake's tail was a little bigger than the last time I recalled it, but not much bigger.
Without the murmurs of gossip and the shade of dense tree canopies, it was the first time for her to bask in such dazzling sunshine.
The scales were penetrated by the sunlight and the bones were almost brittle.
The warm light fell on the snake's tail, and for the first time Shekh saw the color of his own tail in the sunlight.
It is a translucent pink-purple color, like a silk ribbon shimmering with gold powder.
The willow branch in her hand was pulled by someone. A woman squatted in front of her, stretched out her hand and said to her, "What a cute little snake. Do you want to come with me?"
She let go of the willow branches and immediately squatted back behind the tree, revealing only half of her young and tender face.
The woman who was talking to her stared at the half of her tail that she had left outside, forgetting to hide it, and laughed, and she placed the willow branch on the open space in front of Shekh.
"This is for you."
Sheh was like a bystander who could not adjust his perspective, watching his own past.
She couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, she only saw two shadows on the ground when she woke up from the dream.
Shech blinked his eyes beneath the ribbon a few times, and heard the ticking of a clock, and the players in the room to the left arguing about whether to go out at night.
Sheh's mind was much clearer than yesterday, and it seemed that most of the barriers that were blocking her had disappeared.
"Someone was trapped in the operating room all night yesterday." Sheh moved his legs to stretch his muscles.
Shi Jinzhe: "Are you awake?"
"I dreamed of a woman with a willow branch. Could she be related to you? You were also given a willow branch."
Sheh didn't like the past in the dense forest, she only picked out the most important things to talk about.
"Willow branches? It's hard to say. Willow branches have the meaning of farewell. If they are given at the time of parting, it is normal. But modern people rarely give them as a parting gift. It is also possible that it was given by one person."
Shi Jinzhe paused and asked again: "What does she look like?"
"I couldn't see clearly. I couldn't move. I could only see myself."
"It's okay if you can't see clearly. Maybe you'll remember it someday." Shi Jinzhe helped her sit up. "The restaurant downstairs is past its service time. Eat something else first."
Shi Jinzhe took out the food from the last game and gave it to Shehe. She had just finished eating when she heard someone coming over here.
Sheh said: "Meng Chengxi is coming."
"Can you tell?"
"Well, I've recovered a little, probably because of your blood."
Shi Jinzhe walked to the door and said, "Yesterday I almost thought you were poisoned by drinking blood."
"No, I can taste it. It might be because your blood made me feel comfortable yesterday, and the mysterious power in the hotel also made me feel comfortable. The combined effect of the two was a bit beyond my expectations."
Sheh told the truth: "I was afraid that I couldn't control myself, so I stopped sucking blood and asked you to stay away."
Shi Jinzhe: "So you... can actually stop sucking blood by yourself under special conditions?"
……
It’s over, now the secret is exposed.
Sheh thought that her slow reaction was the biggest problem in this game.
In the game on Azure Island, if she had really lost control those two times, she would have sucked Shi Jinzhe to death.
She just wanted to drink a few more sips.
Their eyes met, looking at each other speechlessly.
"I'm sorry." Lying is wrong, Sheh didn't make excuses and apologized first.
She picked up the strawberry-flavored sandwich biscuits at hand and handed them to Shi Jin, saying, "Please eat the biscuits I fed you with my own hands."
knock --
"Wait a moment." Shi Jinzhe spoke to the door and took a bite of the cookie. "No need to apologize. Getting along is a gradual process. We weren't that familiar with each other during those two times."
“But I didn’t do what I said.”
"Humans lie intentionally or unintentionally every day. We don't know how many lies we have told in total. You only lied once, and you are already a very honest snake."
Sheh: “Don’t you care?”
Shi Jinzhe looked down: "How about you feed me another cookie?"
